Completely isolated from modern development, the Tsum valley was only opened for tourism activity by the Nepal government as recent at 2007.

Tsum valley lies in Gorkha district and comprises two remote villages called Chumchet and Chhekampar. The name ‘Tsum’ came from the Tibetan word called ‘Tsombo’, which means vivid.

Traditionally Tsum valley was a very distinct place geographically and culturally therefore was called ‘Tsum Tso Chuksums’, which means thirteen provinces ruled as a single territory.

The trail heads up the valley of the Budi Gandaki River through wild and unexplored country inhabited mainly by members of the Gurung ethnic groups. It also has a long history of Buddhism. The Buddhist saint Milarepa is believed to have meditated in the caves amongst these mountains.

    I had an epic time trekking the Tsum Valley with mates, thanks to this top-notch Nepal travel agency! Their guides were legends—super knowledgeable and friendly, making the journey a breeze. Everything was perfectly organised, from permits to cozy lodges. The views were unreal, and the cultural experiences were a highlight. As an Aussie, I’d give these guys a massive thumbs-up for an unforgettable adventure! Highly recommend!

    We had the most amazing time trekking through Tsum Valley! As soon as you leave the busier Mandalay trail, everything becomes quieter, greener, and more peaceful. We loved visiting the remote valley and saw many traditional Buddhist monasteries. My favourite was visiting Gumba Lungdang monastery, it was so peaceful and so remote, surrounded by high snowy peaks. The route was clear and beautiful, I would love to go here again.
