Rolwaling Trek

Overview

The Rolwaling Tashi Lapcha Trek is a legendary high-altitude expedition that connects the hidden valley of Rolwaling with the iconic Khumbu/Everest region. Known for its untouched beauty and challenging alpine terrain, this trek is ideal for trekkers seeking true wilderness and adventure away from the crowds. The journey starts in the lush villages below the Gaurishankar range before gradually entering the dramatic Rolwaling Valley—home to thick forests, glacial lakes, yak pastures, and traditional Sherpa settlements like Beding and Na Gaon. Highlights include visiting the sacred glacial lake of Tsho Rolpa and witnessing immense views of Melungtse and Gaurishankar. The crossing of Tashi Lapcha Pass (5,755m) is the technical highlight of the trek, requiring ropes, crampons, and an experienced climbing guide. After the pass, the trail descends into the Khumbu region, offering breathtaking panoramas of Everest, Thamserku, and the surrounding Himalayan peaks. This trek is perfect for experienced trekkers seeking a remote, challenging, and deeply rewarding Himalayan experience combining culture, wilderness, and high-mountain adventure.
