The Lumba Sumba Pass Trek was first established in 2012, so it is still relatively unknown in comparison to other treks. The journey extends through the Kanchenjunga Conservation Area and the Makalu Barun National Park in the eastern section of the country. The Lumba Sumba Pass connects the Kanchenjunga and Makalu regions. It can be done in two directions, starting in Kanchenjunga or Makalu.
The journey travels through scattered pockets of human habitation, such as villages and monasteries. Similarly, in markets and schools, there are typically designated days for activities. When trekkers are utterly alone in the wilderness.
There have been sightings of snow leopards during these off-the-beaten-path days. Which would undoubtedly add to the adventure! Bird watchers will have the opportunity to see several unusual and uncommon species. After crossing the pass, trekkers will travel into the Arun Valley.
It is a straightforward descent to the remote town of Thudam after crossing the Lumba Sumba hill. Continuing the walk after Thudam is difficult since the narrow track becomes overgrown with bamboo brushes and is challenging to find. Finding a campsite during this stretch of the Lumba Sumba pass hike is challenging.
The best time for Lumba Sumba trekking is spring and autumn. These seasons occur between February and May, and September and November, respectively. These seasons provide the most incredible views and the most spectacular natural surroundings. The Lumba Sumba Trek can be done in other seasons, such as monsoon and winter, although the weather can be harsh and brutal.
