TSUM VALLEY IS OFFICIALLY NOW A NO KILL ZONE- NEPAL

Chumchet and Chekampar VDCs situated in Tsum Valley have been officially declared a “Non Violence Zone” where locals are not allowed to kill/sacrifice/hunt animals, harvest bee hive, set fires in forest and transport of animals in the valley. Those failing to comply will have to light candles worth more than NRS 20,000 and have to offer prayer for more than 1000 times in the monastery.  After severe drought hit the valley in 1920, over 90 years ago, locals have refrained from killing animals.
