More Information
Tsum Valley, known as the "Hidden Valley," is a remote and culturally rich trekking destination in the northern Gorkha region of Nepal. Nestled between Baudha Himal and Himal Chuli to the west, Ganesh Himal to the south, and Sringi Himal to the north, this valley remained restricted to foreign trekkers until October 2007. Derived from the Tibetan word ‘Tsombo,’ meaning vivid, Tsum Valley offers pristine natural beauty, ancient Buddhist monasteries, traditional villages, and breathtaking landscapes. The trek provides an immersive experience into Tibetan-influenced culture and traditions while exploring untouched wilderness.
