Tsum Valley Trek
10th June, 2024
The mix of natural beauty and cultural richness on the Tsum Valley Trek was mind-blowing. I especially loved the heli ride, which offered a once-in-a-lifetime view of the Himalayan giants! On the ground, trekking through Tsum Valley was serene and gave us an incredible glimpse into the lives of the people in this remote area. The landscapes were vast and varied, from terraced fields to stunning mountain vistas. For Canadians seeking both adventure and authentic cultural experiences, this trek is unbeatable. It’s an adventure I’ll never forget
