尋找Tsum Valley Trek的夥伴

概覽

從 Kathmandu 出發13 天 · 最高 3,700 公尺

最佳季節:Mar–May, Oct–Nov · 許可:Tsum Valley restricted area permit (Department of Immigration, via a registered agency), Manaslu Conservation Area entry permit, TIMS card where required

The Tsum Valley trek is a 13-day journey into a hidden Buddhist valley in the north of Gorkha District, close to the Tibetan border, branching off the Manaslu trail at Philim. It drives from Kathmandu to Machha Khola, follows the Budhi Gandaki valley to Jagat and Lokpha, then climbs through Chumling and Chhokangparo to Nile and Mu Gompa, at about 3,700 m, before returning by Rachen Gompa and the same trail. The route covers about 131 km on foot with 7,600 m of climbing, and the valley is a restricted area inside the Manaslu Conservation Area, so you need a Restricted Area Permit through a registered agency, the conservation area permit and a licensed guide. The trek is hard because of the long days and steady altitude, and the best months are October and November, and March to May. It suits fit trekkers who want culture, monasteries and quiet trails rather than high passes.

What the trek is like

The trail follows the Budhi Gandaki through steep gorge country, with suspension bridges, waterfalls and forest, and some sections now run beside a jeep road. At Philim the Tsum Valley branch turns north through bamboo and oak forest to Lokpha and Chumling, the first Tsum village at about 2,360 m. Above it the valley opens into terraces of barley and buckwheat, stone houses with prayer flags, and long mani walls. Chhokangparo and Nile are the main bases for the upper valley, and Mu Gompa, near the border, is the last stop. The return passes Rachen Gompa and follows the river down to Machha Khola.

Highlights

  • Mu Gompa, the highest and most remote monastery in the valley, near the Tibetan border
  • Rachen Gompa, a nunnery, and the Milarepa cave, associated with the Tibetan saint
  • Terraced villages with mani walls, chortens and traditional stone houses
  • Views of Ganesh Himal, Sringi Himal and the Boudha Himal range
  • A quiet, hidden valley that opened to trekkers only in 2008

Permits and rules

The Tsum Valley is a restricted area, so you need a Restricted Area Permit from the Department of Immigration, issued through a registered agency, plus the Manaslu Conservation Area entry permit and a TIMS card where required. A licensed guide must accompany you. Reports of a March 2026 notice say individual foreigners may apply, but the permit still needs an agency and a guide. Fees and day counts have changed more than once, so ask the agency for the current amounts and check them with the Department of Immigration. Carry several copies of your passport and permits for the check posts at Jagat and Philim.

Best season

October and November have the clearest weather, and March to May bring rhododendron and warmer days. The monsoon has leeches, landslides and cloud on the Machha Khola road, and winter is cold, with snow around Mu Gompa and many lodges closed. Allow a spare day for the road.

Altitude

The highest point is Mu Gompa at about 3,700 m, and the valley sleeps between 850 m and 3,680 m. The climbs are steady, with the biggest gains on the days to Chumling and Chhokangparo. Watch for headache, nausea and poor sleep, never ascend with symptoms, and descend if they worsen. Discuss altitude medicine with your doctor before the trek.

Getting there and away

Drive from Kathmandu to Machha Khola via Dhading, Arughat and Soti Khola, about 8 to 9 hours in a jeep on a rough and dusty road that can be blocked by landslides in the monsoon. The return is the same drive on the last day, and some groups use a jeep for part of the Jagat to Machha Khola section. Keep a spare day in the schedule.

Lodges, food and costs

Simple lodges and homestays operate in every village, with dal bhat, noodles, potatoes, tsampa and tea, and rooms with blankets. In the upper valley, facilities are basic and some places close in the off season. Prices rise with altitude, and you should bring cash for the whole trek, because there are no machines on the trail.

Packing list

Broken-in boots, waterproof layers, a down jacket, a sleeping bag rated to about minus 10 C, gloves, hat, sunglasses, sun cream, trekking poles, a headlamp, water purification and a first-aid kit. Add leech socks in wet months and a scarf or shawl to wear in monasteries.

Who this trek suits and how to prepare

The trek suits fit trekkers who like culture and quiet trails. The days are long, with 14 to 17 km on several, so prepare with hill walks and some days with a loaded pack. Respect for local customs, including photography rules, is part of the preparation.

The plan at a glance

Day 1 drives to Machha Khola. Days 2 to 4 walk to Jagat, Lokpha and Chumling. Days 5 to 7 go to Chhokangparo, Nile and Mu Gompa. Day 8 walks to Rachen Gompa and day 9 returns to Chumling. Days 10 to 12 return to Lokpha, Jagat and Machha Khola, and day 13 drives to Kathmandu.

Extensions

Add a day at Mu Gompa to explore the upper valley or walk toward the Tibetan border viewpoints, visit the Milarepa cave and Rachen Gompa on an extra night, or continue to the Manaslu Circuit from Philim, which adds about a week and the Larkya La. Check the permits for each route with your agency.

Practical tips from the trail

  • Walking times in the day plan are estimates from distance and climb, checked against operator itineraries; real times differ with pace, load and weather.
  • Start early on the long days and keep a steady pace.
  • Dress modestly and ask before taking photographs inside monasteries.
  • Walk clockwise around mani walls and chortens.
  • Carry cash in small notes, as villages have no machines.
  • Keep a spare day for the Machha Khola road.

Responsible trekking

Take rubbish out, use filtered water, buy from local families and respect the valley's customs. Do not give sweets or money to children.

亮點

  • Mu Gompa, the high monastery near the Tibetan border at about 3,700 m
