Tsum Valley Health Camp 2009: "The Hidden Land of Happiness"- Part 1, 7mins of 15 mins

This 15 minute video documents events surrounding a 4 day Health Camp in November 2009 sponsored by the (Tsum Welfare Committee)TWC. It illustrates the beauty of the people and landscape of the "Hidden land of Happiness" as well as the hardships and needs of the local population.

TWC is an official Nepali NGO and the only one from Tsum Valley committed to providing education, healthcare, and employment opportunities for local residents. TWC is also implementing a campaign to manage waste and wherever possible recycle it.

In Tibetan, Tsum Valley is referred to as "Beyul-Kimolung" which means "The Hidden Land of Happiness". This evocative description captures the spirit of its remote villages located beyond the northern side of the Himalayan range and the Valley extends to the Tibetan Plateau. Trekking to Tsum can take 6 to 7 days from the nearest road accessible to vehicles. Only recently opened to tourism, the Tsum Valley is a unique trekking destination replete with numerous spiritual and cultural attractions.
