The remote Tsum Valley side-trip should not be missed. In nine trips to Nepal this was the
absolute highlight, with strong, friendly, hospitable people, a living Buddhist culture and
untouched wildlife because of Buddhist prohibitions on hunting. Tsum comes from the
Tibetan work ‘Tsombo’, which means vivid and we can only agree. The people are poor,
since they have been bypassed by development for centuries, but this means their unique
culture has remained intact.As my wife said: “Tsum Valley was FANTASTIC. To be honest, I wasn’t expecting it to be
very different from where we’d already been but as soon as we made that right turn off the
main track it suddenly seemed we were entering a hidden valley full of untouched forest so
beautiful we called it the Garden of Eden.”Howard Dengate, Australia
