Rolwaling Valley Trek

We immediately headed out for sightseeing trips to world heritage sites after eating breakfast early in the morning. We visit Swayambhunath, the Boudhanath Stupa, and the Hindu shrine of Pashupatinath. We then go to the Krishna temple, the Kumbheswore temple, the Golden temple, Patan Durbar Square, and many other places. We explore Kathmandu Durbar Square before returning to our hotel to cap out the day.

We depart from Kathmandu for singati today. We go through picturesque alpine green hills with a backdrop of the White Mountains. Following the route, we go across the dusty, uneven roads past the village of Dolkha until we arrive at Singati. Perfectly located on the Tama Kosi River’s banks. Here, we set up camp for the evening.

We follow the path that hugs the deep valley gorge of Bhote Kosi from Singati. We pass a few hamlets and villages as we cross the busy river on charming suspension bridges. The thick woodland is an excellent viewpoint that offers breathtaking views of Mount Gaurishankar. The Hindus have a strong hold on this area. On the other hand, chortens and waving prayer flags are foreboding symbols of Buddhism that live here in peace.

A strenuous 2.5-hour hike eastward leads us past the impressively terraced hillsides spanning the valley. We arrive at Simi Gaon village after crossing over. The ethnic Tamang people and the Sherpa highlanders live in this lovely village. The Tibetan monastery, situated atop the hill and overlooking the striking Gaurishankar, clearly marks the location. Here, we spend the night asleep.

Today is a remarkable morning as we drive into the Rolwaling valley. The stunning bamboo and rhododendron forest greets us first. The path then climbs steadily in the direction of Gyalche. Next, we camp here at Donga for the next day and make an ideal descent down to the river.

We arrive at Beding after a leisurely climb through a valley covered with tropical alpine vegetation with breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains. Rolwaling’s tallest peak is clearly visible from her breathtaking views of Melungtse I. A strange little village among the Sherpa villages is called Beding. We have the opportunity to see the location of the historic Buddhist monastery. For one night, we will set up camp at the river’s edge.

Today is an acclimatization day, so take it easy and go for a leisurely hike. For the views, we trekked up to the Malung La pass. We have breathtaking views of the natural forest, glaciers, and snow-capped peaks from the summit. Aside from that, the Beding Valley appears incredibly beautiful and tranquil below.

We get ready to depart Beding and move on to Na, which is our next stop. From here, it’s a short stroll past the final little mountain hamlet, inhabited only in the summer. In a stunning valley, the settlement of Na is located directly beneath the Tsho Rolpa Glacier Lake. This amazing location is complemented by the striking peaks of Yalung Ri, Chugimago, and Chobutse. An excellent location for camping and an overnight stay.

We have two options: resting or hiking up to the Yalung La pass. Outstanding views of the Tsho-Rolpa glacier lake may be seen from this location. Aside from that, the vistas of the Himalayan peaks, Yalung Ri, Ramdung Peak, and Yalung Glacier are breathtaking.

We ascend the dam steeply in the direction of Tsho-Rolpa Lake and continue southward. By following the old path, we traverse the moraines and descend to Nyiduk Kongma. It is situated between the Trakarding glacier and Tso Rolpa.

We follow the Trakarding glacier’s path, passing through rocky pathways that eventually give way to bluish ice. As we attempt to reach the Dolumbau glacier, the terrain is treacherous. We have to lay a rope in order to get to our campground spot, therefore the way ahead becomes somewhat difficult. Despite being dangerous, this panoramic location offers breathtaking vistas. It is amazing and unforgettable to witness the numerous streams that flow from the glacier, the tumbling boulders, and the collapsing ice.

We try to cross a very steep and difficult foothold onto the Drolumbau glacier. Bigphero-Go Shar and Dragkar-Go make it overpowering as we create a cross-section of Tengi Ragi Tau. 6793 meters.Then, we gradually make our way to the summit across moraines and mild inclines while navigating the glacier regions.

We’re going to take a leisurely, easy walk today. We follow the path that goes through the small Sherpa village of Thame. Tibetan traders and their yak caravans encounter a conflux in the Thame region. It is a crucial commerce route that splits Namche Bazaar and Nangpa La, the Tibetan borders.

Trekking to Khumjung from Thame is a pleasant stroll that leads to the base of the revered Mount Kumbila. The first Edmund Hilary school project was located in Khumjung. It’s a great site with old monasteries and typical Sherpa communities.

We head for Monjo, leaving behind Khumjun today. We arrive at Monjo after a protracted descent via Namche Bazaar while taking in the sights of Mount Everest.

We proceed in the direction of the Dudh Kosi River by following the trail. After going through various Sherpa villages, Lukla is eventually reached.

We say our final goodbyes to the mountains and get to the airport in time for our subsequent trip to Kathmandu. As soon as you arrive at our hotel, you will unwind and get ready for tomorrow.

This is the last day of your walk through the Rolwaling Valley. The airport agent will securely make the transfer to the international airport. With fond memories of this amazing hiking adventure, you will depart for your home country.
