Overview
Tsum valley in Gorkha district was opened for International tourists only in 2007, making it one of the recent places to be opened for commercial treks in Nepal. The valley comprises two remote villages, Chumchet and Chhekampar. The name ‘Tsum’ originated from the Tibetan word called ‘Tsombo,’ meaning “vivid”.
The trek trail passes through the wild and unexplored country of ‘Tsumbas,’ which mainly comprises of ethnic Gurung inhabitants. The intriguing reality about this place is that most of the locales claimed to have seen or encountered ‘Yeti’ in the region. It also has a long history of Buddhism and is believed that the Buddhist saint Milarepa meditated in the caves among the mountains.
The influx of tourists is profoundly controlled by the authorities, therefore, it is least-known to the outside world, leaving numerous strict and archaeological relics still untouched and unexplored throughout the valley.
