Rolwaling Tashi Lapcha Trekking In Nepal

After having our breakfast, we take a jeep and drive towards Sigatte from Kathmandu. We’ll be there to pick you up from your hotel. During this drive, we’ll be passing through the lush green hills of Nepal and later the views of the mountain peaks will accompany us throughout the trip. Later we’ll be reaching to our campsite that sits on the bank of the Tama Koshi river. We’ll be setting up the camp where we’ll stay overnight.

Our trek starts from this way as we follow through the trails deep into the Bhote Koshi valley. We’ll be walking through some dense and verdant rhododendron forest, terraced fields, hamlets and some small villages along the way. The magnificent view of the Gauri Shanker mountain can be seen during our trek today. Later we reach to Jagat where we’ll be setting up our camp as we’ll be done for the day.

Upon having breakfast, we head towards the east leaving the valley behind. The trail today makes a steep climb towards the village of Simigaun, which has a mixed settlement of Sherpa and Tamang community. The region is influenced by Buddhist culture and that can be apparent during our journey. We then set up our camp at Simigaun as we come to an end of our trip for the day.

We’ll be entering the Rolwaling valley on this day as we follow the trails through a rhododendron and bamboo forest. Our trail gradually climbs towards the Gyalche from where it descends down to the river. Upon reaching Donga, the bank of the Rolwaling River, we set up our camp beneath the Gaurishanker mountain.

We begin our trek by climbing uphill through a forest. Our trail takes us to Beding village from where we can see the Melungtse mountain which is the highest summit of the Rolwaling range. We’ll be making Beding our stop for the day. The small Sherpa settlement in this place has old and historical Buddhist monastery and the village is also famous for its yak butter tea and barley beer. You might want to try this, it’s pretty interesting!

We’ll be spending this day resting and acclimatizing our bodies at Beding. We’ll be hiking up to the Malung La Pass from where amazing views of more than fifteen mountain peaks can be seen along with glaciers and passes.

We resume our trek along the riverside trail as we head towards the Na village. We’ll be passing through some amazing glacial lakes which is a sight to behold. The Na village lies below the Tsho Rolpa Glacier from where amazing sight of the Himalayan peaks such as Chobutse, Yalung Ri, and Chugimago can be seen.

Another day set apart for acclimatization. We’ll be taking rest for the most part but we can also conduct an excursion to the Yalung La pass if you’re up for it. Views of the Ramdun peak ice falls and Tsho Rolpa glacier lake can be seen from the top which is beautiful. We’ll be surrounded by Himalayan peaks and glaciers all around.

Today we continue our trail along the south bank. After a bit of a climb we’ll be crossing a disordered maraine aream from where we’ll be descending to Nyiduk Kongma. We’ll be setting up our campsite in a sandy amphitheater between Trakarding and Tsho Rolpa glaciers

After having our breakfast, we head toward Trakarding glacier which is a huge rocky area which gives way to large sections of blue ice time and again. We then trek towards a rocky spur beneath Dolumbau glacier from where we’ll be climbing up the rock face. The trail is challenging but upon reaching Drolumbau Glacier, the views of countless streams running off the glacier, collapsing ice from the glacier, and the falling rocks are very impressive.

We’ve come to the difficult part of our trekking journey. The route from Drolumbau Glacier to Tashi Lapcaha pass is tricky and pretty steep. We’ll be gradually crossing the Pass but the view from the pass is truly spectacular and makes our hard trek totally worth it. Views of the several mountain peaks can be witnessed towards and beyond the Tibetan border. We then continue our walk through slopes, moraines, and cross glacial areas. We then set up our camp around 300 meters below the summit beyond a rocky section.

Our trek today is relatively easy as we descend towards the village of Thame. We’ll also be visiting an old monastery that lies of the hillside before entering the Thame village. The Thame village is an important route for the Tibetan traders who trek across the Nangpa La on the Tibetan border to Namche Bazzar and beyond. We’ll be setting up our camp and spend overnight at Thame.

This trek is relatively long however the trail is much easier as we start going downhill. The decrease in elevation also helps regaining more energy and stamina. We will be reaching to Namche Bazzar after a long walk that will be all for the day as we ponder upon the amazing journey we’ve traveled and enjoy the night in the town of Namche Bazzar.

This would be the last day of our trekking. We’ll be descending down towards Lukla from where we’ll be taking the flight to Kathmandu the next day. The trail from Namche Bazzar to Lukla will be much easier as it is going downhill and lesser altitude. As we reach to Lukla, we can relax, laugh about the journey, and celebrate the victory of accomplishment.

The flight is usually held during morning hours. The flight will be 35 minutes long to reach from Lukla to Kathmandu and our travel ends. After landing, travelers return to the hotel where they shall stay overnight. CoreTreks will host a dinner this night where guests will be able to taste the traditional Nepali cuisine along with some cultural dance at the venue.

Our travel journey has now come to an end as we say our goodbyes and take you to the Tribhuvan International Airport 3 hours prior to your flight time. We’ll come to pick you at your hotel and a representative will drive alongside you up till the departure gate at the airport.
