Tsum Valley Trek |
 |
|
Tsum Valley is a sacred Himalayan
pilgrimage valley situated in a trans-Himalayan region of Gorkha,
Nepal. The Tsum Valley's acquaintance with Tibet, natural beauty
and its pristine culture make this trekking unique. Tsum comes
from the Tibetan work 'Tsombo', which means vivid. Against the
majestic backdrop of the Ganesh Himal, Sringi Himal and Baudha
Himal ranges, this serene Himalayan valley is rich in ancient
art, culture, and religion.
The local people are mostly of Tibetan origin and seak a unique
dialect. Trails are strewn with artistic chortens, monasteries
and lined with mani walls made of thousands of stone slabs
carved with deities and prayers. The Tsum valley has a long
history of Buddhism. The Buddhist saint Milarepa is believed to
have meditated in the caves of there mountains. Traditionally
Tsum valley was a culturally distinct geographical area called 'Tsum
Tso Chuksum', which means thirteen provinces ruled as a single
territory. The ancient remains of the Tsum Kingdom are still
visible today. Due to its remoteness and inaccessibility, this
sacred valley and its people have been bypassed by mainstream
development for centuries. As a result, the unique culture of
this valley has remained intact.
The Tsum Valley is surrounded by the Buddha Himal
and Himal Chuli to the west, Ganesh Himal to the south, and
Sringi Himal to the North. |
