About Tsum Valley Trek
The Tsum Valley Trek is a sacred, remote, and unexplored region located in the northern part of Ganesh Himal. The trek is known for its unique culture, unexplored areas, Buddhist monasteries, and beautiful Himalayan ranges. The main attraction of Tsum Valley for tourists is that it was a culturally distinct geographical area named ‘Tsum Tso Chuksum’ which means 13 provinces ruled a single territory. Due to not being touched with modern society and devices the ancient art, unique culture and religion of this valley are still intact with the people. The trails in this trek are filled with artistic things and Mani walls: (a wall made of stones inscribed with a Lamaist prayer), which implies you are in the territory of Tibetan culture. You can get a good experience of Tibetan culture from this trek. As most local people are Tibetan the local people dialect is of Tibet. This trek gives you an insight into traditional villages, and cultural buildings to their full capacity.
The trek begins from the small village of Machhekhola and gradually ascends through the lush forests, traditional villages, and unique culture. One of the highlights of this trek is the explorations of remote settlements, experiencing the life of people who are untouched by modern society or perhaps we could say traveling to the past and enjoying the real life before the technology. Not only that we would get an insight into religious practices, tradition, and architecture the Himalayas scenery is no less to miss out on.
The Himalayan ranges you get to see from here are majestic Ganesh Himal(7,422m), Sringi Himal(7,155m), and Baudha Himal(6,672m).
