Rolwaling trek |
Between the Everest and Langtang regions is the
stunning mid-Eastern range of the Himalayas; the
Rolwaling valley. This is home to famous peaks
such as Mount Gauri Shankar (7134m), Dorje
Lakpa, and many others. A few miles south of the
Tibetan border, it is known as one of the seven
hidden valleys in the Himalayas. This is a wild
and barely explored district where legendary
tales of the abominable snowman, known as the
"Yeti", haunt the imagination of climbers. On
the slope of Rolwaling Peak itself, the famous
British mountaineer, Eric Shipton, first
photographed Yeti footprints in 1951.
The trek starts from Dolakha, near Charikot, an
eight-hour drive from Kathmandu. There is also
the choice to continue your trek by crossing
Tashi Lapcha (5755m). Technical mountaineering
skills and equipment are required for this
incredible adventure. Trekkers also witness
Tsho-Rolpa, the largest Glacier Lake in Nepal
and can continue on to the Khumbu region, which
links to trek routes in the Everest region.
Another option is to trek to Na, a small Sherpa
village, to trek back to Kathmandu. This trek
requires a peak permit any of the following
peaks: Ramdung, Yalung, and Pacharmo. Permits
must be obtained from the Nepal Mountaineering
Association in Kathmandu.
