The Lumba Sumba Pass Trek is a challenging and off-the-beaten-path adventure that takes you through the remote and unexplored regions of eastern Nepal. This trek is named after the Lumba Sumba Pass, a high-altitude pass located in the Kanchenjunga region, connecting the Arun and Tamur river valleys. This trek offers a unique opportunity to explore the diverse landscapes, rich cultural heritage, and pristine natural beauty of the eastern Himalayas.

The trek begins with a flight from Kathmandu to Tumlingtar, followed by a drive to Kande Bazaar, the starting point of the Lumba Sumba Pass Trek. From here, you'll embark on a challenging trail that takes you through lush forests, terraced fields, remote villages, and high mountain passes. The trek offers breathtaking views of snow-capped peaks, including Kanchenjunga, Makalu, and Everest, as well as the surrounding valleys and deep gorges.

One of the highlights of the Lumba Sumba Pass Trek is the opportunity to explore the cultural diversity of the region. The trek takes you through traditional villages inhabited by various ethnic communities, including Sherpa, Rai, Limbu, and Tibetan people. You'll have the chance to interact with the friendly locals, experience their unique traditions and customs, and visit monasteries and ancient Buddhist stupas.

The Lumba Sumba Pass Trek also offers a chance to observe the diverse flora and fauna of the region. The trail passes through dense forests of rhododendron, oak, and pine, providing habitats for a variety of bird species and wildlife. If you're lucky, you might spot Himalayan bears, red pandas, musk deer, and various species of birds along the way.

The trek involves camping in remote and scenic locations, allowing you to truly immerse yourself in the beauty and solitude of the Himalayas. You'll spend nights under starry skies, surrounded by towering mountains and serene landscapes.

Due to the remote and challenging nature of the terrain, the Lumba Sumba Pass Trek requires excellent physical fitness, prior trekking experience at high altitudes, and careful acclimatization. The trek usually takes around 20 to 25 days to complete, depending on the chosen itinerary and the pace of the trek.

By embarking on the Lumba Sumba Pass Trek, you'll embark on a remarkable journey that takes you off the beaten path and deep into the heart of the pristine and less-explored eastern Himalayas. This trek offers a unique blend of adventure, cultural immersion, natural beauty, and solitude. It is an opportunity to challenge yourself, connect with local communities, and experience the raw and untouched grandeur of the Himalayas in a region that is still relatively untouched by tourist.
