Itinerary

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.

day 1Drive Kathmandu to Soti Khola (710m)

We begin our journey driving west of Kathmandu along the Prithvi highway. We will drive through forested middle hills with the Trishuli river at our right. The first part of our road heads north towards Dhading Besi (Headquarter of Dhading district) and then dirt road drops to cross Ankhu Khola and then leads us northwest to Arughat on the Budi Gandaki. Budi Gandaki drains the Manaslu – Tsum region. The dirt road winds upwards towards the Gola Bhanjyang where panoramic views of the southern slopes of the Ganesh, Boudha and Manaslu Himal can be visible. We pass through the hydroelectric power plant, terraces, numerous villages, green hills, some pretty waterfalls, fields of rice and millet to Mangaltar, and through lush green forests until we arrive at Shanti Bazar. Descending to a high, cascading waterfall makes a long steep slog up a ridge to Kuerepani, from here the trail descends to Soti Khola.
We stay overnight at Soti Khola.
