Tsum Valley Trek

Tsum Valley Trekking is a classical form of outdoor adventure in Nepal. The trekking route takes you all the way to Tsum Valley which is also called ‘The Hidden Valley’ informally. This beautiful land of monasteries with existence of total Tibetan population, offers you a different kind of taste than any other place with Nepalese residence. Tsum Valley lies to the north of Manaslu trekking region, attached to the Nepal – Tibet border. This area was totally untouched to most of the trekkers until it was opened in 2008.

Trekking Tsum Valley is all about exploring around a world far away from Nepal. Previously, it was an isolated area, totally unrelated to Nepal and Tibet. This is why trekking in this region means totally a different thing to you. However, today the valley comprises of Buddhist and Tibetan influence. The region is still least exposed to foreign people. This is the reason why the valley is nicknamed ‘The Hidden Valley’.

While trekking in Tsum Valley, you get the opportunities to explore the hidden treasures of the valley. The region owns a unique kind of lifestyle, culture and traditions. It might seem strange to you, but people of this valley follow a different kind of tradition where the brothers of a family are married to single woman. This ritual is literally known as polyandry. Along with these, you get to gain views of several natural designs such as high passes, deep gorges, hamlets, gompas, chortens, mani walls and panoramic views of several mountain peaks such as Ganesh Himal, Sringi Himal and Boudha Himal Ranges.

Chisapani-Nagarkot Hiking of Jan-2015

Chisapani-Nagarkot Hiking of Jan-2015

We had a great time in Nepal by Chisapaani-Nagarkot Hiking with “Green Nepal Tourism”. Unexpectedly the weather was also very clear in mid January. Magnificent views of the Himalayan ranges were seen from the top of Nagarkot Hill. The weather was excellent and it was a bit cold. Our guide was very helpful & friendly. We haven’t any complain to the company “Green Nepal Tourism” & Mr. Bishnu (Director of the company), everything were managed as capably and enjoyed the hiking. We are very satisfied with these services provided by the Company. We give you all an idea to trek in Nepal with “Green Nepal Tourism” for reasonable prices & standard services.

Annapurna Base Camp Trekking of Dec-2014

From 20th of December 2014 to 5th of January 2015 we went spent some gorgeous weeks trekking in the Annapurna region. First, we hiked to Poon Hill which rewarded us with a very nice sunrise. Then, we continued our trekking to the Annapurna Base Camp (ABC). Both at the ABC and on the way to and from it, we were blessed with amazing sunsets and sunrises. We even saw monkeys and eagles. Views were spectacular and the weather was great.

The organization of the trek was immaculate. All transfers (Kathmandu airport – Hotel – Pokhara– Kathmandu Hotel – airport) were perfectly organized. In addition, both the guide and porter did a great job. They were very flexible and always agreed when we wanted to change the program. This allowed us to reach the ABC two days earlier than planned and gave us more time to visit additional places when going down. We also paid a visit to hot springs which was very nice. In sum, we recommend "Green Nepal Tourism" as a reliable trekking agency which is very eager to comply with the customers’ wishes.

Best regards,

Werner and Heidi
