Craving a trek through some of the Himalaya’s most pristine and diverse landscapes? The Lumba Sumba Pass Trek is a lesser-known route traversing the Kanchenjunga Conservation Area, with the 5,200m Lumba Sumba Peak as its highlight. This journey offers a visual feast—alpine grasslands, dense forests, sparkling river valleys, and high mountain lakes. Wildlife enthusiasts may spot elusive red pandas or even snow leopards along the way. The route is also a cultural tapestry, home to Limbus, Sherpas, Rai, Gurung, and more, offering glimpses into local festivals and traditional farming. Tailored for young adults and experienced trekkers, the trek’s USP is its rare combination of untouched scenery and vibrant ethnic diversity, promising both adventure and cultural connection.
We had this great trek "LUMBA SUMBA TREK" situated between the Kanchenjunga and Makalu region of Taplejung District, the trekking was a bit unique with less crowded travelers and trekkers which made the trekking more smooth and convenient for the every day settlement and activities. We encountered the most untouched natural places of this trek with beautiful flora and fauna,Himalayas, landescapes, routes,warm hearted local people, beautiful rhododendron's covered mountains, animals like:Yak, musk deer, Red panda which made our trekking very much enjoyable.So this trek last point was Olangchula gola which located between the boarder of Nepal and Tibet and on our last day we enjoyed with some local brew called "CHHANG" and Local meat to celebrate our Succes Trek of Lumba Sumba,our team guide Pasang was very helpful guys with bright smile in his cheek, very experienced guide and friendly during the trek which help us to be more relax during the trek. We are very happy with the service of this local operator and i strongly reccomend this company for any kind of trekking here in Nepal.
