Rolwaling Trek

We begin our journey with a scenic drive on the Kathmandu-Lhasa highway to the ancient trading town of Dolka. Our walking tour through a secluded and one of the most beautiful parts of Nepal starts here. We trek through the Rolwaling valley,celebrated as one of the seven hidden valleys in the Himalayan, past beautiful Sherpa and Tamang villages. Rolwaling is the East - West valley below Mt.Gauri Shankar (7145m) just south of Tibetan border. Beding and Na are the last Sherpa villages of this valley, from where more than 20 good sherpa climbers, have conquered Mt. Everest and numerous other 8000m peaks. We cross over the Tashi Lapcha pass (5755m) and visit Thame, Tenzin Norgay's hometown, and enter the Khumbu valley, the land of the Sherpas which lies at the serene foot of Everest. Great views of Mt. Gauri Shankar, Mt. Dorje Lakpa and Mt. Tashi Lapcha all along the trail. This trek also offers a great opportunity for short climbs of peaks like Ramdong Go(5,930m) and Pharchamo (6187m). As this trek is consid¬ered to be strenuous, technical climbing experience and good mountaineering gears are essential.
