Tsum Valley Trekking.
The Tsum Valley is situated in the Trans Himalayan region of Gorkha, Nepal and is renowned as a sacred Himalayan pilgrimage valley. Tsum' comes from the Tibetan word 'Tsombo', which means vivid. The Tsum Valley is surrounded by the Boudha Himal and Himalchuli to the west, Ganesh Himal to the south & Sringi Himal to North.The Tsum Valley is a recently opened restricted area for trekking in northern Gorkha. The Tsum Valley is bounded by three high passes - the Ngula Dhoj Hyang (5093 m.) to the west and Yamdro Pass (5326m.) to the north. The local people of Tsum Valley are of Tibetan origin and practice Bon religion. The Tsum Valley Trekking starts at Arughatand and the trail follows the winding Budi Gandaki River until it reaches the first elevated Tsum Valley with magnificent vistas of the Ganesh Himal and other surrounding peaks. Traditionally, Tsum valley was a culturally distinct geographical area called 'Tsum Tso Chuksum', which means thirteen provinces ruled as a single territory. Due to its remoteness and inaccessibility, this sacred valley and its people have been bypassed by mainstream development for centuries. As a result, the unique culture of this valley has remained intact.
