The Tsum Valley Trek also known as the Hidden Valley Trek, is one of the last almost unexplored areas for trekking in Nepal. Located on the border of Tibet and secluded between the northern Manaslu Himalayas lays the Tsum Valley. Embark on a spiritual journey through this Buddhist region with Rediscover Nepal. A spiritual journey of a 13 days trek in Nepal that takes you through ancient monasteries, the famous Mu Gompa and amazing Himalayan views.
On your adventure, get to see a harmonious valley surrounded by the Sringi Himal, Ganesh Himal and the Boudha Himal. For other treks in Manaslu, we at Rediscover Nepal organize also; the Manaslu Circuit trek, the Lower Manaslu trek or trek further west with our Nar Phu Trek, Tilichio Lake trek or combine Manaslu and Nar Phu with our special Manaslu Long Trek!

Why Tsum Valley?
The Tsum Valley Trek in Nepal got recently opened in 2008. Being relatively a new trekking route in Nepal, trails to the Tsum Valley are incredibly preserved and not packed with enthusiastic trekkers such as on the Everest Base Camp trails.  Trekking though amazing landscapes, interacting with the local people, and entering in the hidden valley of Tsum is just what makes the Tsum Valley trek one of the best treks in Nepal for all outdoor lovers!
Discover Nepal at the Tibetan border, a true Shangri La! Follow the iconic Buddhi Gandaki River in to this incredible paradise. Often called a spiritual journey the Tsum Valley trek takes you through Buddhist landscapes filled with monasteries and chortens. With the eight highest mountain in the world, Mt Manaslu always watching over us this amazing trek in Nepal has a lot to offer in terms of Himalayan panoramic views.
