Our Guide and Potter come to in your hotel in the morning according to last day meeting briefing. Then we are heading to Arughat, by bus or Land cruiser (depending on group size) scenic drive. While passing ridge of Kathmandu Valley, you catch a glimpse of Annapurna, Manaslu, Ganesh Himal and Langtang Himal magnificent view and terraces and green hills. After Dhading Bisi or Gorkha Bazaar the road is tricky because of the grubby road. To get in Arughat through the Gorkha Bazaar or Dhading Besi depends on your time and choice. The village of Arughat is in two parts, on opposite sides of the Budigandaki. Arughat Bazaar is large, clean and prosperous with hotels and shops selling cloth, food and hardware. As the road has been building further the Arughat Bazaar, we suggest driving till Sotikhola (720m) or Laphubesi (884m) by local jeep or bus. It takes about 1 ½ to 2 hours drive by gravel road. The road will follow the bank of Bdhigandaki River. Along the way we enjoy splendid views of Shringri Himal and local live hood. The trail goes through the Gurung and Magar villages, past fields and cascading waterfalls, till we reach Soti Khola. You will drive Arughat to Machhakhola & stay in Tea house.

The trail involves some steep ascents and descents to the Doban. The trail gives the glimpses of diversity of flora & fauna, and people with different religions and cultures. We ascend a well crafted staircase over a ridge to Doban. Doban means confluence of streams, where Shiar Khola comes from the east and the Sarpu khola meet from the west. We set up our camp here or stay overnight at tea house.

After a hot breakfast our journey leads us to ascend a rugged rocky trail. Then we climb up and down ravines and notched trees. Several waterfalls on both side of the Budhi Gandaki river and hundred species of birds in the forest makes our trip very enjoyable. Liding, Machhakhola, Jagat, and Philim provide the unique hospitality with culture and religion. During this trekking the narrow valley shaped by Budhi Gandaki provides magnificent vistas of Ganesh Himal, Shringi Himal and Himal Chuli, as we continue up to the large Gurung village and fields of corn and millet. There are several good campsites here and we can set up camp surrounded by alder, blue pine and poplar trees or stay at the tea house.

The trail goes up through Philim and heads up over a ridge that leads to Ganesh Himal Base camp and Chumling (Lower Tsum). We camp for the night at Chumling. Each individual can enjoy themselves with songs of birds and the roaring sound of river. There are several good campsites at Chumling to camp at our stay overnight at a local house.

After breakfast, we trek to Chhekampar. Upper Tsum valley (part of the inner Himalaya) opens from Chhekampar/Chhekamparo. This village situated on flat land and made up of two settlements Chhekam and Paro. From the valley, we have view of Ganesh Himal range in front to the south where it provides spectacular views of the Baudha and Himal Chuli peaks to the southwest. Some households in this village practice polyandry. We stay overnight here.

On the way we pass the Piren Phu cave. Piren Phu (pigeon cave) is one of the most sacred caves in the Tsum valley. It is located at the foot of a rugged cliff near the village of Burji. Milarepa, the famous Tibetan saint, was believed to have meditated here. There are two separate monasteries attached to the rocky cave. Richly painted Buddhist murals, excellent artistic scripts carved on stones, long prayer flags and significant Buddhists paper scripts make this cave one of the most important socio-cultural asset in the valley. Beautiful views can be had at the Shiar Khola, Rachen Gumba, the mountains and settlements amidst this vast agricultural land. This is the last village heading north of the upper Tsum Valley. Stay overnight.

After breakfast, the trail gradually ascends to Mu Gompa (1895 AD), the largest monastery in the region and farthest point in the Tsum valley. The monastery houses religious books, including the Tibetan canon (Kangyur), a life sized statue of Avalokiteshwara (the Bodhisattva of Compassion), and images of Guru Padmasambhava and Tara. Chosyang Tal is about two to three hours uphill. Then we visit Dephyudonma Gumba, one of the oldest monasteries in the Tsum Valley situated in rugged mountains, a 2 hr walk from the village of Chule and Nile. The history of this monastery is directly associated with the dawn of Buddhism in the valley. The monastery is run by Lama Serap of Nile Ladrang from the Kangin sect. There are a few campsites and drinking water facilities.

We take the trail to Rachen Gompa nunnery. It is situated in the Shiar Khola Valley in the foothills of the mountains bordering Nepal and Tibet. Rachen Gumba was established in the year 1905 AD and is one of the largest nunneries in the Tsum valley. It is belonging to the Ngak-pa sect. The nunnery houses one thousand clay, mud statues of Avalokiteshwara, a brightly colored, carved throne and pillar, and a large prayer wheel. The interior is richly painted with murals about Buddhism and its history. Today, we proceed towards Dumje, is small and scattered settlements with some houses and adjoining cattle sheds. Dumje is a wide and flat land, good for cultivation especially barely and potatoes. Here patches of purple hued amaranth interspersed with fields of brown barley, dozens of yaks grazing in grassy meadows, rustic stone houses hugging the trail, long stretches of hand carved Mani stones and stacked Mani walls, ancient villages dotting the landscape, rock Chortens perched high on ridges, snow-capped Himalayan peaks scratching the deep blue sky, high remote mountain passes threading into Tibet, maroon-robed Buddhist monks and nuns fingering prayer beads, and hard-working kind-hearted villagers warmly welcome you into this scenic and soaring valley where Tibetan culture is still celebrated today.

After breakfast, we are heading to Philim and cross Ripchet. We pass one of the most beautiful waterfalls in the Lower Tsum Valley, Samba Tingding Chhupyang. This is the village which lies along the trial from Gumpa Laundang to Philim. The houses are completely built from stone and roofs are pine wood. The houses are arranged in linear pattern along the trial. There are a remarkable numbers of Mani walls, Chortens and gateway chortens. We make camp in Philim for overnight stay.

From Phillim we trek to Tatopani (hot springs) about 6 to 7 hours, most of the trail is downhill. A survivor has built a botanic garden and nice lodge from which he sells his organic coffee. Goat herders passing through this area where the distinctive smoke-browned capes called Bokkhu made famous in the book Honey Hunters of Nepal. Continue up and down over a couple of ridges to Tatopani (930m; ‘hot water’) where there are hot water spouts under the sheer cliffs that provide a delightful evening shower and soft skin due to natural minerals. There are two simple teahouses close to the springs, which might be smoky, and one further up. Sleep to the sound of water while refusing to think about earthquakes. You can relieve your tired muscles from many days by soaking yourself in the hot spring. We make camp here for overnight stay or stay in local house.

This is easy day trip to Machha Khola (Fish Stream) about 4 hours walk down through the Bhudhigandaki River bank. You may spend sometime in the Hot spring again. Continue down-river; most of the trail goes through the Bhudhigandaki river bank across sandy flats, but as you the mountain sometime you need to descend and at other times climbing on the gravel riverbed, passing through Khoralabesi (970m) where there is a good tea house. Large Gurung villages are way above while the track passes few houses, like lower Khorlabeshi (960m) which was largely destroyed by a huge rock slip two and half decade ago.

We will be ready at 6:00 in the morning to have breakfast. We will drive back to Kathmandu through the road passing terraces, streams, rivers, local settlements, high hills and along the same road. It takes about 8 to 9 hours (roughly) to reach your hotel in Kathmandu by bus/private car.

I recently completed the NMH (Nepal Mother House Treks) 15 day Tsum Valley trek with guide Suman Magar. Tsum Valley is a beautiful enclave of Tibetan Culture. Thank you to Karna for his professional organization of the trek and the caring efforts of Suman in making every day enjoyable. The approach to this area is changing quickly as the Nepalese government blast a road high song the side of the Buddi Gandaki River towards Larke Pass. Once you detour from the crowded approach to Manaslu, you get a sense of the wild nature of the gorge that restricted access to Tsum for generations, as settlement was established via the Tibetan plateau. NMH is great organization for trekking in Nepal, and Karna is flexible with arrangements or changes that you wish to make. His honesty and efficiency was appreciated.

Just finished last a week a 15 Day Trekk to Tzum Valley Nepal. with the Nepal Mother House service. It was nothing short of incredible, to experience the Tibet/Nepal culture of the area. We visited an number of Buddhists monasteries and also stay with a family overnight, eating, cooking and enjoying a culture that was so different and beautiful.

The guide and porter that Mother House assigned to us was nothing short of incredible, like having dedicated staff members who took care of all of our needs, from education of the culture to serving tea and food at every stop, Not to mention providing medicine for a cold I caught.

Nepal Mother House is a professional service that really knows its business. I felt safe, secure and engaged throughout the trip. At the end of the trip both the guide and porter invited us to their homes for food and yet again a fabulous experience. There are so many agencies in Kathmandu who provide this service but how lucky was I to find one with such professionalism and attention to the details that really matter on a Trekk like this.

I did a 14 day Tsum Valley trip with Nepal Mother House in Feb 2015. Karna responded quickly to all of my questions and helped me pick out the best tour. He was also able to organize the trek permits even though I was going solo. Once in Kathmandu finalizing arrangements and meeting the guide went very smoothly. The track itself was fantastic. Beautiful scenery everywhere and all the details taken care of so all I needed to do was walk.

the trip was a great value and the company was completely honest and up front in their pricing. I highly recommend them.

In December 2014 I joined Nepal Mother House for a 14 days Tsum Valley trip. It was my first time to Kathmandu and really didn't know what to expect. My flight landed at Kathmandu on a dark cold night. Alone, confuse and worry was what have written on my face. But things got a little better the moment I saw Karna and his guide. As what other reviewer has mentioned, Karna is very attentive and helpful. The quick response on all the emails is part of the reason why I chose this agency. The trip to Tsum Valley was one of the best Christmas present I have gave myself. Spending Christmas day on the wilderness and total disconnect to the rest of the world is one of the most amazing trip I can ever experienced. The guide who is also my porter is very attentive. Although communication can be a minor problem but overall I was happy with their service especially on the after sales service that Karna has provided. Keep it up Karna!"

Tsum Valley Trek is part of Manaslu Trek, it can do only Tsum Valley in about 14 days or comb with Manaslu Circuit. Tsum valley is best to visit as just a few trekkers visit here. Most of the trekkers looking for off-the-beaten trail trip, if you are also looking for the Tsum Valley is perfect. It is culturally rather than mountain scenery even you can see many mountains including Ganesh Himal.

As Manaslu is a recent open Tea house trek; there are basic tea houses entire Manaslu Circuit Part and homestay services in the Tsum Valley, where you will have accommodation and meals. You need the stay at both homestay and Tea House. But nowadays there are tea houses available even in Tsum Valley as well.

Regarding the rest of the payments, it will be best if you can pay by cash USD (notes should be date/Series after 2001, older than this date is not validated to exchange in Nepal.) rather than travel Cheque, Cards, or any other currency after on your arrival. But if it is complicated for you then, we accept credit cards also (+4% Bank extra charge on it).

Regarding the additional charges for the company; whatever I provided the cost is included if require service charges and Government tax. There is not no additional charge for Tsum Valley Trek.

Regarding equipment, you need, Trekking Bots, sandals, globs, Warm Hat, sun-protected Hat, waterproof jacket, trousers, flees inner cloths, warm shocks, day bag, sleeping bag, down jackets, etc.

Most of the things you can buy or hire in Kathmandu at a reasonable price. If would you like to use those things in the future, it would be better to buy them in your country. Otherwise, you can buy in Kathmandu. Trekking boots, trekking bags,s, and sleeping bags will be better to buy in your country. You can get more ideas from Nepal Trekking Packing List.

Well, the Tips is not fixed, it depends on you and according to trekking area. How much you are impressed by Guide and Porters services. Normally, it said 10 % of your total payments. You can give them from your inner heart. But you can give them approximately 70-80 USD for porter and 90- above USD for Guide for 15 days Tsum Valley Trek.

As we are a trekking tour agency, we always do our best to provide clients ultimate satisfaction through our services. So, all Guides are professional, good English speaking and well experiences and as we are originally from Gorkha, most of our Guides and staff are from the local area, around Manaslu area. To be Guide, they need to participate in three months of Trekking Guide training from Nepal Government. They need to study and practical about Culture, History, sociology, anthropology, tourism, hospitability, Language, hiking, climbing, environment, etc. I mean they are experienced in any trekking area in Nepal.

Homestay is a form of tourism and/or study abroad that allows visitors to rent rooms from local families. Accommodation is very basic, whatever local using. And need to stay with local families and have meals similar to locals. And Tea house accommodation is much more batter, you have a separate room and common or private bathroom and toilet. But nowadays there is the option of Tea House at Tsum Valley part as well.

Thank you very much for your questions. Regarding the safe drinking water in Tsum Valley Trek; you can buy a bottle of mineral water for every tea house entire trip. But due to environmental concerns, it would be better to use any tools (SteriPEN Ultra /Filter/Iodine Tablets/chlorine) to purify water. You can get raw water from every tea house and can filter it on your own. Or you may buy boiling filter water also an option. Likewise, toilet paper and drinking water, which is extra from the package cost.
