The Tsum valley was opened to trekkers only in 2008. The trail that climbs through the village of Philim before heading up a ridge leading up the Ganesh Himal Base Camp, finally brings us to the Tsum Valley.
The major highlights of this trek include Piren Phu ( also known as the pigeon cave), the Rachen Nunnery and the villages of Chumling, Chhule, Chhekampar and Nyile. A pilgrimage route also runs through the valley that has been visited by Bith Milarepa and Guru Rinpoche.
The people of Tsum, numbering roughly 4000 are mostly Tibetan and much of their trade is with the Kyirong region of Tibet. Tsum offers the best views of the Ganesh Himal, Sringi Himal, Baudha Himal and Himalchuli.
