Tashi Lapcha Rolwaling Pass Trek is an exciting and challenging trek that takes you to a remote part of the Himalayan part of Nepal combining beautiful views of the Himalayas with the challenge of crossing high mountain passes. The trail leads you through Tamang and Chhetri villages with wonderful views of the mountains. There is an opportunity to interact with other trekkers and climbing groups as well as the Sherpa. The crossing this high pass provides experience with the remoteness of this region, exquisite mountain views, and diverse flora and fauna. Climbing to this peak is straightforward because the climbing route is well defined, dotted with crevasses. We will enjoy the breathtaking scenery of terraced farmlands and panoramic snow-covered high Himalayan peaks. While it is difficult to access the Himalayan valleys in the northern part of Nepal, the remote and rugged protected areas are both scenically and culturally attractive. On this trek, the trekker will experience the real adventure of traveling off-the-beaten-track.
The Tashi Lapcha Rolwaling Pass Trek is a combination of Rolwaling and Khumbu Valleys, a great opportunity for short mountaineering. The breathtaking beauty that lies in the waterfalls, glaciers, and ancient monasteries adds to the splendour of this region. These Himalayan highlands are special due to geographical diversity, natural beauty, and the variety of indigenous cultures. We will have a chance to explore Sagarmatha National Park which is the home of many rare birds, animals, and local flora. The best season for trekking is from March to May and from September to December.
