Climate and Weather.

Lumba Sumba Trekking is a high altitude trekking route in eastern region. The climate and weather during the trek varies on the season you are travelling. Besides the weather of mountain region is unpredictable, so Trekking Planner Nepal always check the weather before embarking trek.

The weather is generally calm and good for trekking during the trekking season, which runs from March to May and September to November. Throughout the day, temperatures range from 10 to 20 degrees Celsius in the lower elevations and gradually drop to 0 to 10 degrees Celsius at the higher elevations. Nights can be unusually cold, with temperatures dropping below freezing in certain places.

During the monsoon season (June to August), the trekking trail might get slippery and muddy due to heavy rainfalls. The humidity is strong, and landslides and floods are probable. Trekking is therefore not advised during this period. Still the taste and preference totally depends on you.

During the winter season (December to February), the temperature gets frizzy, and higher elevations might receive considerable snowfall, making trekking difficult. Temperatures can fall below freezing, so it is important to be well-prepared with proper equipment and clothing.

Local Culture and Religion.

Lumba Sumba Trekking takes place in eastern region of Nepal. This region is known for its numerous ethnic and cultural cultures. The diverse local culture and religion are highly influenced by Hinduism, Buddhism, and Shamanism.

The main ethnic group of this region is Rai and Limbu communities, and they ptactice their own unique culture and traditions. The Rai people are famous for their traditional music and dance, whereas the Limbu people are famous for their martial arts and traditional festivals.

The locals in the area are extremely religious, practicing a blend of Hinduism and Buddhism. There are various monasteries and temples in the area, including the Pathibhara Devi Temple, which is a popular Hindu and Buddhist pilgrimage site.

Shamanism is also practiced in the area. The local shamans are well-respected members of the community. They are thought to be able to converse with spirits, as well as cure illnesses and solve issues.

Throughout the journey, you can watch and participate in local traditional events and rituals such as the Rai community's Sakela dance and the Limbu community's Chasok Tangnam celebration. Tourists can also sample the native cuisine, which includes dishes like Dal bhat, Momos, and Thukpa.

Travel Insurance.

Trekking Planner Nepal strongly advised to get travel insurance before embarking on the Lumba Sumba Trek. Trekking in such a remote place can be difficult, and there may be the chance of accidents or medical issues. Travel insurance can provide peace of mind as well as cash protection in the event of an unfortunate accident.

When selecting travel insurance for the Lumba Sumba Trekking, make sure that your insurance covers all trekking activities, including high-altitude hiking. The coverage should also cover emergency medical expenses, such as helicopter or air ambulance evacuation, trip cancellation, lost or stolen baggage, and personal expenses.

When taking travel insurance, Trekking Planner Nepal also suggest that is important to carefully read and understand the policy's terms and conditions. Make careful to tell your insurance provider about any pre-existing medical issues, as this may affect your coverage.

Before embarking on the trek, bring a copy of your travel insurance policy and emergency contact information with you. It will be helpful in case of emergency.

Altitude.

The Lumba Sumba Pass is located in high altitude region of Nepal. It is normal to develop symptoms of acute mountain sickness (AMS) at this high altitude. The inability of body to rapidly acclimatize to the lower air pressure and decreasing oxygen levels at high elevations causes AMS. Headache, nausea, dizziness, exhaustion, and difficulty sleeping are some of the symptoms of AMS.

To avoid AMS, it is best to climb gently, enabling the body to adjust to the reduced air pressure and higher altitude gradually. Staying hydrated, avoiding alcohol and caffeine, and eating a well-balanced diet are also important. If AMS symptoms emerge, it is advised to rest and descend to a lower altitude until the symptoms decrease. In severe cases, medicine may be required, and medical treatment is advised.

Washing and Toilet

The Lumba Sumba Pass trek is a rural and rarely traveled route in eastern Nepal. As a result, access to washing and restroom facilities during the journey may be limited. Here are some general considerations:

  • Toilets:  The toilet facilities on the Lumba Sumba Pass trek are likely to be a mix of basic pit toilets and squat toilets. Western-style bathrooms are available in some teahouses and lodges, however this is not always the case.
  • Washing: Accessibility to washing facilities is also limited during the trek. Some teahouses and lodges may have a simple and basic shower, but this may not be applicable in all areas. Sometimes you may also need to use bucket to fill water for washing. The locals may charge for the hot shower too.

Trekking Planner Nepal, legally registered company, suggest you to follow Leave No Trace principles whenever you trek to any part, even at Lumba Sumba Trek. This includes not washing in streams or rivers and instead utilizing designated toilet facilities where they are available. If there are no bathroom facilities accessible, it is critical to properly bury your waste at least 200 feet away from water sources, and to place any toilet paper or hygiene goods in a sealable plastic bag.

Accommodation.

The Lumba Sumba Pass trek is a remote and less travelled trek in Nepal's east. As a result, lodging along the trail is limited. Trekking Planner Nepal is here to secure your trip and make it memorable. We book the lodge in advance after your booking so you can travel without any hesitation.

Teahouses and hotels are available for lodging along the walk. Teahouses are small guesthouses that offer simple rooms with a bed and, in many cases, common bathing amenities. Lodges are a step up from teahouses, having nicer facilities and more comfortable rooms. Teahouses and lodges are both run by local families and provide insight into the local culture and way of life. This helps you experience local cultures and tradition.

It's important to note that accommodation options can be limited along the trek, and in some cases, you may need to be flexible with your plans. During peak trekking season, it's also important to book accommodation in advance to ensure that you have a place to stay. Trekking Planner Nepal secures your booking in advance, allowing you to prepare for additional trekking.

Temperatures can be rather cold, especially at higher elevations, so bring a sleeping bag and warm clothes with you. But, if you do not want to carry large luggage during your travel, Trekking Planner Nepal can provide you with the necessary equipment. It is better to   ring a headlamp or torch as well, as electricity may be limited or unavailable in some regions.

                                              Lumba Sumba Pass and Around Manasalu Trek with Trekking Planner Nepal

                                              Last October, I used Trekking Planner Nepal to organize my trek from Kanchenjunga to Makalu Basecamp over the Lumba Sumba pass. I had such a great time that I booked another trek with Trekking Planner, walking from Tsum Valley, around Manasalu to the villages of Nar and Phu. This was a really big trip for me, before leaving for Nepal, I spent a lot of time researching and emailing many different trekking companies. Out of the companies I reached out to, the owner Dipak offered me the best price, and the best customer service, promptly and patiently taking the time to answer my numerous emails . In Kathmandu, Dipak couldn't have been nicer, he picked me up at the airport, took me out to dinner, organized all my permits and logistics and provided me with a great trekking crew. He's the guy you want to organize your trek in Nepal. My guide for both treks was Dhirendra Kharka, and he was awesome. He's a great choice as a guide, especially if you want to trek somewhere off the beaten path. We spent almost 60 days in the mountains together on a couple of long, challenging treks. He was great company, as well as being extremely skilled and competent in the mountains. I would recommend Trekking Planner to anyone interested in trekking in Nepal. I am attempting to section hike the Great Himalaya trail and I am planning on working with both Dipak and Dhirendra when I return to Nepal.
