For
those who wish to experience an isolate part of Nepal one
should make an exceptional trek to the Rolwaling valley, one
of the most appealing regions of Nepal. Ensconced in the shadow
of the Rolwaling Himal, this remote Himalayan valley lies
on east of Dolakha.
There
are two main villages in the Rolwaling valley. Beding (3510m)
and Na Gaun (4120m). Trekkers may spend a few days in the
Rolwaling area ascending to the Na Yak pastures at 4700m.
Here trekkers are greeted by a spectacular panorama of the
Gauri Shanker and Menlungtse Peaks.
Above
Na Gaun, the trail meanders up to a high lake named Chodalpa
(4540m) and up to the lateral moraines of the Rolwaling glacier
below the Rolwaling icefall (5181m). After two days of rugged
glacier walking one reaches high Tashi Lapcha Pass (5755m).
On the other side of the Tashi Lapcha, the trail drops down
into Thame village (3790m) on the Khumbu valley. From here,
one can trek to the Everest Basecamp, then fly out to Kathmandu
from Lukla.
