The Buddhist saint Milarepa is believed to have meditated in caves
of this mountainous valley, and it is home to over 100 monks and
nuns at Mu Monastery and Rachen Nunnery. Many residents of Tsum
report having seen or found signs of Mehti, commonly referred to in
the West as the 'Yeti' or 'Abominable Snowman'.
Tsum Valley only opened to foreign trekkers in 2008. Due to this,
along with its remoteness and inaccessibility, Tsum Valley and its
people have avoided commercial impacts and changes for centuries.
As a result, its unique culture has remained largely intact. Since
it has not been visited by many travelers, there are very few
established amenities such as teahouses, hotels, stores or
restaurants along the trail. Instead, we offer fully-supported
camping treks and enriching homestay programs in Tsum Valley to
allow travelers more interaction and insight into traditional
Himalayan lifestyles.Our Tsum Valley trek begins in Arughat (Gorkha
district), which is easily accessible from Kathmandu.
