Lumba Sumba Trek is a newly introduced trek that begins from Kanchenjunga Conservation Area in Eastern Himalaya to Makalu Barun National Park offering vast biological diversities. The trekking trail is not only for spectacular Himalayan landscapes and different ethnic groups like the Tamangs, Gurungs, Rais, Limbus, Magars, Newars and their vibrant cultural aspects but also the majestic view of Lumba Sumba Peak (5200m).
Lumba Sumba Peak is the major attraction of this route. Trekkers can explore the traditional farming practices and see different birds and wildlife species, including the endangered snow leopard and red panda, from the route. There are a number of high mountain lakes in Olangchung Gola. Through the route, one can also trek to the base camps of Mt Kanchanjunga and Mt Makalu. Similarly, the Tamor and Arun River systems can be the other attraction for tourists. The route encompasses alpine grasslands, rocky outcrops, dense temperate and sub-tropical forests, and low river valleys. Apart from natural beauty, trekkers can also explore cultural heritage like monasteries, Chhortens, temples, and prayer walls. And to add to the flavor, the festivals of all of these people living in harmony only serve to make the native culture livelier.
Upon arrival meet and assist by Parikrama Treks representative. Transfer to hotel for rest. On the way, one can enjoy the view of the UNESCO world heritage site Pashupatinath Temple.
