Tsum is known as the valley of Happiness in the local native language of Tibetan origin and the culture and traditions are mostly influenced by Tibetan culture. The trek into the hidden areas and Shangri-la of Himalaya away from modern civilization into the pristine, wilderness of mountains-windswept beautiful country with impressive local culture are fantastic. Off the beaten route, it is a perfect destination for people not willing to walk on mainstream trekking trails on popular routes.

Tsum Valley Trek includes the finest overland journey into Nepal's Mid-Western areas of the Gorkha district. The trek at first leads on the same routes as the Manaslu route and then on leaving the raging Budi-Gandaki River heading into unknown and hidden areas at Tsum valley. The trek gradually leads into nice lovely farm villages and forests filled with enchanting rhododendron-magnolia-oaks and pine trees.
