Chymtang Village in in the Arun Valley, on the Lumba Sumba Trek, Kanchenjunga East Nepal. The Lumba Sumba pass trek is in the Kanchenjunga region of Nepal. It is in a little-known undiscovered trekking region - off the beaten track in the remote and isolated Eastern Himalaya.

The trail traverses the mountains between the third and fifth highest in the world - Kanchenjunga and Makalu. It passes through rarely visited Sherpa and Limbu villages, rugged valleys and up to the spectacular Lumba Sumba pass itself.

The Lumba Sumba was only opened to foreign trekkers in 2012. But even now (2018), very few outside visitors go there. Although there are teahouses in many villages, up towards the pass the trek requires at least three or four nights of camping. Many people camp for the whole trek, but mixing it up with a combination of simple lodges and camping worked for us. Once we had left the Kanchenjunga trail, we didn’t see a single other foreign trekker for about two weeks. We were late in the season (November), but I expect if you visit at any time trekker numbers will be low. WEBSITE: http://benhowe.co.nz
