- The
- north east of the Manaslu (mountain of the spirit) trail, was first opened to trekking in 2008. In the
- the Tsumbas of the Tibetan origin, speak a unique dialect and still trade to the north. The valley is rich in ancient art, culture and religion. It adds a richly rewarding extension to the Manaslu trek.
- A scenic drive through the Middle Hills leads to the trail head beyond Arughat at Soti Khola. The
- crosses numerous ridges and villages as it rises to Philim. Here it turns east into the lower, then broader Upper Tsum Valley. Crops grown include barley, maize, buckwheat and potatoes. Look out for Himalayan Tahrs and Bharal (blue sheep); preyed on by the illusive snow leopards.
