Tsum Valley Trek

Seeking solitude and adventure off the beaten path? The "Tsum Valley Trek" is crafted for travelers who crave remote trekking experiences and a deep connection to culture and nature. Open to international trekkers only since 2008, this journey through Nepal’s Tsum Valley remains one of the country’s most secluded and spiritually rewarding routes.

Starting at Arughat after a scenic drive from Kathmandu, the trek winds through dense forests, terraced fields, and traditional villages along the Budhi Gandaki Valley and into the heart of the Tsumba people’s homeland. Departing from the well-known Manaslu Circuit, you’ll explore a landscape framed by Ganesh Himal, Bouddha Himal, and Sringi Himal, with highlights including visits to ancient monasteries such as Rachen Gompa and Mu Gompa.

Warm hospitality from the indigenous Tsumba community infuses the trek with a homely, welcoming atmosphere—making even the most remote stretches feel special. This trip’s unique selling point is its rare combination of peaceful isolation, untouched Himalayan scenery, and authentic cultural encounters, offering trekkers a sense of tranquility and discovery far from the usual crowds.
