Tsum Valley Trekking

Opened as recently as 2007, Tsum Valley is another Trans Himalayan region situated in Gorkha, Nepal. Tsum Valley is often believed to be the abode of the legendary, elusive Yeti. Many expeditions into the region have been led by international explorers in search of Yeti.

It was also in Tsum Valley where the Buddhist saint Milarepa is said to have spent many years meditating in a cave in the surrounding mountains. For Buddhists, Tsum Valley remains a sacred pilgrimage site.

In the Tibetan-Tamang language, Tsum or  "Tsombo" means vivid. The Tsum valley is adorned with artistic chortens and colorful Mani walls as well as mural portrays of deities and stone-inscription of prayers.
