The
Rolwaling trek is located between a chain of Langtang Himalaya and Mount
Everest, below Mount Gauri Shankar and the southern border of Tibet. The
Rolwaling Valley Trek is one of the challenging passes of the Himalayas
Everest. Some of the highlights of this hike are the valley, Khumbu, a Tamang
village, beautiful views. The Rowling Valley is full of alpine lakes, hanging
glaciers, moraines, tall meadows, waterfalls, and an impending view of the
snow-capped peaks in the background. This region is rich in biological
diversity, isolated villages, glacial lakes, and mountains.
Beyond this
Rolwaling trekking area, there are also many endangered and threatened animals
around the world. It is also alternative trekking at Everest base camp located

Valley Trek is one of the annoying treks. Still, the fantastic view of Mount
Langtang and Mount Everest from Rolwaling, majestic Mount Gauri Shanker,
natural and cultural beauty, the mountain river, the local Sherpa way of life,
Tamang and Chettri make the trek worth it. The district is rich in flora and
fauna with 16 main types of vegetation, 34 species of mammals, 16 fish, ten
amphibians, eight lizards, 14 snakes, and 235 birds.

On the way, you have to cross the jungles covered with orchids and some rhododendrons. If you walk through the forest, you can enjoy the magnificent view of the Gaurishankar (7,145 meters). Crossing the suspension bridge, you reached the final destination of the day, Jagat, a small village with people of different ethnicities.

Waking up early in the serenity of the city of Jagat, you will take a short walk in the village before having breakfast. After a quick tour of this small town, you will start your walk following a typical flat path at the start, and then you will climb and descend through the jungle. You leave the forest and follows the river. As you head towards your destination, the valley begins to narrow until you cross the suspension bridge over the river. A short steep uphill climb after the suspension bridge reaches the Sherpa village of Simigaon. This village, inhabited by Buddhists and few Hindus, spans the terrace on the mountainside.

A short, relaxing walk from the flat land reaches Beding, a large riverside town of Sher. Arriving here, you can see Rolwaling's highest peak, Melungtse I (7,181 meters). In the center of the village, you can see the old historical Buddhist monastery. You will establish a camp by the river to spend the night.
Meals included: Breakfast, lunch, and dinner
Since you are already at high altitude, it is essential to rest one day to rest and acclimatize before going to the altitude region. Taking a day of acclimatization helps your body adjust to the surrounding high altitude and also reduces the possibility of acute mountain sickness (AMS).
On this day, you will have a one-day walk to the Malung La pass or even more to acclimatize our body. When you reach the upper crest of the Malung La Pass, you have a fantastic panoramic view of more than 15 snow-capped peaks, the glacier and the natural forest in the valley below Bend.

Today you will walk from the Trakarding glacier to the Tashi Lapcha Phedi camp, raised to 5,755 meters. The trail climbs primarily through rocks and glaciers. The hike follows steep slopes over the glacier to avoid the bottom, but further up, you have to hike through the center on the hard and rocky glacier. A regular hike takes you to the lowest point of the icefall and then climbs to the most open position to reach the Drolambau Glacier. From there, you will descend to the Tashi Lapcha Phedi camp located at the bottom of Tashi Lapcha. The 360-degree panoramic view of the high mountains from here is fantastic. After arriving at the Tashi Lapcha Phedi camp, you will stay at camp.

After crossing thick snow, you will reach a point from which you will start a gradual walk towards Cape Tashi. You will camp at Cape Tashi for the night.
Meals included: Breakfast, lunch, and dinner

Because so
few tourists visit the region, accommodation facilities in the Rolwaling region
are underdeveloped. Teahouses are not as standard as in the other areas,
although homestays in some villages can be a good option. Camping is standard
for accommodations in the area. Depending on the chosen section of trails in
the Rolwaling region, the hike can be a full camp. The paths connecting Rolwaling
to the Khumbu region via Tasi Lapcha Pass are a camping hike and require a
necessary skill of climbing. The Tsho-Rolpa Lake and Panch Pokhari hike is also
a camping hike, while areas like Kalinchowk can be done as a tea house hike
Because
Rolwaling is one of the least visited trekking regions in Nepal and never sees
crowds, it is an excellent place to hike most of the year except in winter. The
best season for trekking is from March to the end of May. The fall season is
also a good season for hiking in the area, with a clear blue sky illuminating
the magnificent mountains that rise above the small towns.
Travel insurance
Travel
insurance for any itinerary of our company is a condition for the holiday
reservation. You must at least have emergency medical and repatriation
insurance that must include the cost of the mountain rescue. Carefully check
the general conditions of your insurers, in particular, you must ensure that
the following points are covered: 1) Activity (i.e., hiking, trekking or
mountaineering) 2) Maximum altitude reached during the trek 3) Helicopter
evacuation in case of emergency. It is essential
to understand that, you will be responsible for all expenses incurred in
evacuation and repatriation procedures and that it is your responsibility to
pay all costs incurred in the event of an evacuation or medical treatment. You
must be fully aware of the implications of organizing your travel insurance and
understand the limitations and exclusions of your policy. Please note that in
certain circumstances, our company guide can initiate helicopter rescue procedures

Physical condition and experience
requirements
Rolwaling
Trek is a moderate hike. If we can walk for approximately 5-6 hours each day,
you can complete your goal efficiently with a light backpack. The trip is
relatively more comfortable for those who are used to walking at altitude. We
ask that you jog and exercise regularly at least a few months before the start
of the trip. Previous hiking experience would be a bonus, but for this trip, do
not need technical skills. It is also vital that you consult your doctor before
booking the trek.
Altitude
acclimatization is the process of adapting to decreased oxygen levels at higher
altitudes to avoid altitude sickness. Therefore, to be successful on the trek
and minimize the risk of acute mountain sickness, two separate days are
reserved
Rolwaling Trekking is the most Challenging trip in Nepal. The challenging landscapes of the region can, for the first time, pose a certain threat to walkers. You need to train well and prepare yourself physically and mentally to be able to walk the area easily.
Altitude sickness is a major difficulty factor in this high mountain trek. The Trek reaches the maximum elevation of 5755 m. Acclimatization and regular liquid intakes are essential in combating altitude sickness along the way. It is necessary to walk at a gentle pace to maintain energy on the way.
There are also many stone steps along the uneven terrain. You will have to cross the narrow landscapes, the quiet waterfalls, and the majestic cliffs of the region. The long and remote trails are a challenge for walkers. Hikers must also walk carefully as the trails are narrow and sometimes slippery. To be on the safe side, you can take an accurate map of Rolwaling.

It was a
fantastic trek that we really enjoyed! The itinerary was incredible, and during
the holidays, my group and I were amazed by the value for money. It was a
fantastic experience that I would recommend to everyone. It is highly
recommended for those who are looking for really wild mountains. There are some
Sherpa houses. After that, you get only nature. All of our guides were very
friendly, and it was a pleasure to meet them. We made the Tasilapcha pass and
lost the Rolwaling desert from the pass to civilization in the Namche Baazar
area.
