TSUM VALLEY MANASLU TREKKING
The Tsum Valley is sacred Himalayan pilgrimage valley situated north part of Gorkha which was a restricted area until it was opened for trekking in 2008. The word ‘Tsum’ is derived from the Tibetan word "Tsombo"', which means vivid. Traditionally, the valley was a culturally distinct geographical 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. Against the majestic backdrop of the Ganesh Himal, Sringi Himal and Baudha Himal ranges, the trails to this serene Himalayan valley are strewn with artistic chortens and lined with mani walls made of thousands of stone slabs carved with drawings of deities and inscribed with prayers. The Tsum valley has a long history of Buddhism. The Buddhist saint Milarepa is believed to have meditated in the caves of these mountains. The valley is home of some unique and historic monasteries, including Rachen Gompa and Mu Gompa, mani and prayer walls which lie on a pretty highland nestled in the lap of the valley and Gompa Lungdang, situated at the base of a conical hill against the main slope of Ganesh Himal. The tribes here celebrate many Buddhist festivals, perfume ritual burning of juniper sense to purifier the air, place prayer flags for happiness of all the sentient living beings install Mani Walls. The area is left behind so their culture remained as it is as it was centuries ago. The palace is really alluring for the trekkers.
