Tsum Valley Trekking, well known as ‘Hidden Valley’, is an exclusive trekking destination with patchy vertical routes which is situated at the elevation of 1905m to 5062m in the far-flung northern Gorkha district at Manaslu Conservation area and is prominent as a sanctified Himalayan pilgrimage gorge.
The valley nuzzles between Himal Chuli and Baudha Himal to the west, Sringi Himal to the north, and Ganesh Himal to the south. The natural beauty, its culture and its acquaintance with Tibet make this voyage exclusive and exhilarating.
The local ethnic group of Tsum valley is mainly of Tibetan origin with inimitable language and follows Bon religion. Tsum literally means vivid and is derived from the Tibetan word ‘Tsombo’.Tsum Valley Trek is introduced as the trekking destination later which was previously a restricted area.

Alongside the imposing backdrop of Manaslu, Ganesh Himal, and other adjacent mountains, this peaceful valley is affluent in prehistoric sculpture, tradition, and belief.
The trail is speckled with creative Chortens and creased with Mani walls that are made of thousands of rock pieces engraved with divinity and prayers. It is believed that Buddhist saint (guru) Milarepa meditated in the caves which are located in the mountains of this valley and hence known as a revered and attractive location for the visitors.

December to February are the coldest months to trek, with the shortest days and the fewest people. There is often a lot of snow on the ground, especially above Chumling and getting to the Destination can sometimes be very difficult or impossible.
March, April, and May are some of the busier months and for good reason. The days are getting warmer, the weather is mostly stable and the climbing season is in full swing. It really is an amazing sight from Machhakhola. In the lower valleys, the flowers are blooming on the Rhododendrons and the terraced fields turn green with new shoots of vegetables.
From June to August the summer monsoons bring rain and snow. There are fewer visitors during these months, although some of the most beautiful, warm, blue-skied days occur now. Usually, by the afternoon, there is a rainstorm or snow higher up.
This is the most popular time to visit the Manaslu and Tsum Valley. September through November is a time of steady weather patterns, less precipitation, and cleaner air. The lodges are full and everyone is friendly. If you enjoy meeting new friends, want the best chance for great weather and don’t mind an empty, this is the best trekking season.
