Tsum Valley Lodge Trek

Today, the trek begins along the Budhi Gandaki River. Walk through lush forests, waterfalls, rocky trails, and traditional settlements as the landscape gradually becomes more mountainous. Continue toward Jagat, a charming stone-paved village and the gateway to the Manaslu region.

Continue deeper into the Himalayas following the Budhi Gandaki Valley. The trail passes through dense forests, dramatic cliffs, and beautiful river valleys before reaching Lokpa, the first village of the Tsum Valley region and a peaceful stop surrounded by spectacular mountain scenery.

From Lokpa, enter the culturally rich Tsum Valley and trek through peaceful forests with stunning views of the surrounding Himalayan peaks. Cross bridges and follow scenic mountain trails toward Chumling, a traditional village offering your first close experience of the unique Tibetan-influenced culture of the Tsumbas.

Today’s trail leads deeper into the upper Tsum Valley. Walk through beautiful landscapes of pine and rhododendron forests, traditional settlements, mani walls, and prayer flags before arriving at Chhekhampar. The village is known for its distinctive stone houses, Tibetan Buddhist culture, and spectacular mountain surroundings.

Continue toward Nile, one of the highest settlements in the Tsum Valley. The trail follows the Shiar Khola through an increasingly rugged Himalayan landscape, passing ancient mani walls, chortens, and traditional villages. Enjoy magnificent views of the surrounding peaks as you approach Nile.

Today is dedicated to exploring the spiritual heart of Tsum Valley. Hike to Mu Gompa, the highest and one of the most important monasteries in the valley, located in a spectacular high-altitude setting. Explore the peaceful monastery and surrounding landscapes before returning to Nile for the night.

Begin your descent through the beautiful Tsum Valley, retracing the scenic trail toward Chumling. Along the way, visit Rachen Gompa, an important Buddhist monastery and spiritual center. Continue through traditional villages and peaceful Himalayan landscapes before reaching Chumling.

Today, after waking up in the peaceful atmosphere of the monastery and enjoying the mountain surroundings, we walked down to Chumling Village. It was a relaxing half-day walk.

Leave the Tsum Valley behind and follow the trail back toward the Budhi Gandaki Valley. The route passes through forests, rivers, waterfalls, and dramatic mountain scenery before reaching Philim, a beautiful Gurung village surrounded by green hills and terraced fields.

Continue trekking along the Budhi Gandaki River toward Dovan, enjoying the final section of the Himalayan trail. From Dovan, take a local jeep back to Machha Khola, marking the completion of your Tsum Valley trekking adventure.

After breakfast, begin the scenic drive from Machha Khola back to Kathmandu. Enjoy the changing landscapes as the rugged Himalayan terrain gradually gives way to green hills, valleys, and urban surroundings. Arrive in Kathmandu with unforgettable memories of your journey through the hidden Tsum Valley.
