Encounter with a Red Panda on the Lumba Sumba Trek

Settled in the pristine wilderness of the eastern Himalayas, the Lumba Sumba Trek is a hidden gem for adventurous souls. It was on this remarkable journey, near the serene village of Olangchung Gola and alongside the rushing waters of the Tomor River, that we were graced with an extraordinary sight—a rare and enchanting Red Panda in its natural habitat.

This magical moment unfolded as we ventured through dense rhododendron forests and bamboo groves, guided by the expertise of Rajan Khatri and Ishwar Tamang, an experienced trek leader from Visit Himalaya Treks. The trek was organized for a group of enthusiastic clients from the UK and had already offered countless breathtaking views and cultural encounters, but the sighting of the elusive Red Panda was undoubtedly the highlight of our journey.
Watch out for the Video

The red panda, known for its striking russet fur, bushy tail, and playful demeanor, was perched gracefully among the foliage. It seemed unfazed by our presence, offering us a rare opportunity to witness its charm up close. Moments like these remind us of the unparalleled beauty and biodiversity of Nepal’s Himalayan trails, where nature thrives in its most untouched form.

This unforgettable experience not only deepened our appreciation for the region’s incredible wildlife but also highlighted the importance of sustainable and respectful trekking practices. The Lumba Sumba Trek, under the professional guidance of Visit Himalaya Treks, was not just a journey through stunning landscapes but also an immersion into the heart of Nepal’s natural wonders.
