Rolwaling Trekking is a hidden gem in Nepal’s northeastern Himalayas, offering trekkers an unparalleled view of pristine mountain landscapes and rich cultural heritage. The Upper Rolwaling Valley is flanked by over 50 peaks above 6,000 meters, including the majestic Gaurishankar (7,145m) and Melungtse I & II (7,181m & 7,023m) across the Tibetan border.
The trek leads through remote Sherpa, Tamang, and Chhetri villages, old monasteries, lush forests, glacial rivers, and alpine meadows. Highlights include the turquoise Tsho Rolpa Lake, the challenging Tashi Lapcha Pass (5,755m), and the scenic descent into the Solukhumbu region, ending at Lukla for a flight back to Kathmandu.
