Tsum Valley is known for sensational mountain vistas, unrivaled fascinating Himalayan Buddhist culture and Non-Violent tradition. The trek offers biological diversity, for example, the lower part is covered with lush green forests and flowering rhododendrons in the spring.  The gushing Budhi Gandaki River and its tributary river Syar Khola whose source resides in high mountains, cuts gorges and tight valleys. Not to forget the most impeccable scenery you can imagine of far-reaching mountain views with Mt. Manaslu and Ganesh Himal.

Among the less known, remote and pristine one, hidden gem, visiting the Tsum Valley as HIDDEN VALLEY OF HAPPINESS, is referred to in ancient Buddhist texts as a sacred pilgrimage site and practice of Buddhism even at the time of warfare and political unrest, prophesied by Guru Padma Sambhava in 8^th century. Actually, both enchanted Tsum and Nubri valleys are rich in ancient art, culture and religion with several unique monasteries, artistic Chorterns and Mani walls made up stone slabs inscribed with Buddhist prayers.

Both valleys are considered to have religious significance. Tsum valley primarily because of Yogi Jetsun Milarapa, a legendary Buddhist sage, is said to have meditated in sacred cave, known today as Piren Phug (Pigeon Cave), is near a village called Lamagaun. According to one tale, the sage, who often disguised himself to beg for food in the village, once became victim to the misbehavior of one of the village women who gave him a meager half-piece of bread. Soon thereafter, this woman’s field became totally barren. Today, too, you’ll see a small plot of land in the village in which nothing grows.
