Tsum Valley Trek 19 Days

Since Tsum Valley is the main highlight, you will be here, and it is beautiful for the trekkers, but for others, it could be more than this; for instance, it is a pilgrimage centre, and nothing could be more important than this for the Buddhists and Hindus, who want to pray in the sacred places like hills and mountains.

Tsum Valley Trek is as new as you can think because its gateway was opened for trekkers in 2008, so it is the latest of the unique treks with the beauties you do not find in other parts of Nepal.

Tsum Valley Trek is an adventurous trek of Nepal; it is also an off-the-beaten trek of Nepal, and its trekking trail takes you to the kingdom of natural beauties and the source of Tibetan Culture.
