Rolwaling Valley Trek - Eastern Nepal (13 Days / 12 Nights)
The Rolwaling Himal mountain range is locked between Dudh Kosi (the river that flows in the Khumbu valley) to the east and Bhote Kosi (the river that flows from Tibet) to the west. The trek starts from Dolkha, which can be reached from Kathmandu overland. Dolkha is mainly inhabited by the Newars, it is very old town. There is a famous temple called the Bhimsen temple. Although inhabited by the Newars the culture of Newars in Dolkha is quite different than that of the Newars of Kathmandu. The trek from Dolkha leads uphill along the riverside to Simigaon. The views from here are Amabamori, Gauri Shanker (Holy Mountain) and Melungse. While trekking from Simigaun to Bering a trekker would come across Rodhenrodon forests, pine trees and Christmas trees. Peak climbing can be done at Rolwaling Base Camp. From Tashi Lapcha Base Camp peaks that can be scaled are Parchomo, Tengi Tagi Tau, Piphe Ragochar. Chorolpa lake is at the foot of Melungtse peak Climbing after crossing Tashi Lapche a trekkers can reach Thame and Namche Bazaar for this the duration would be 21 – 28 days. From Namche Bazaar two options are left, either to trek to the Everest base camp or back to Lukla and then fly back to Kathmandu.

The Tashi Lapcha pass (5700 m) is situated on the eastern side of Drolam Bau, between Tengi Ragi Tau and Parchamo, and links Thame to the Khumbu valley. This pass is not an easy trek, but the local people cross it regularly in gym shoes. The valley is inhabited by a small Sherpa community based in Beding (3690m). Unlike their neighbours in the Khumbu valley, the Rolwaling Sherpa are notorious for making trekkers' lives difficult. In reality any good Nepalese trekking agency is capable of finding a good "sirdar" (head Sherpa) who is able to deal with the locals.
