The trek usually begins from Machha Khola, following the Budhi Gandaki River through lush forests, terraced fields, and charming villages. As the trail ascends, trekkers enter the mystical Tsum Valley, dotted with ancient monasteries like Rachen Gompa and Mu Gompa, prayer walls, and spinning mani wheels. The valley is home to the Tsumba people, who share deep connections with Tibetan Buddhism and live a lifestyle that reflects simplicity and spirituality.
