Off touristy trekking route and authentic Nepalis life style. Newly embarked by Mountain Club.
Buried between steep ice giants, the Rolwaling Valley is reputed to be
the home of the infamous Yeti. We approach the valley through the
charming terraced foothills of Tamang and Chetri villages. Once beneath
the
sacred Gauri Shankar we climb through primeval forests to the Tsho
Rolpa Lake. The northern flank of Pachermo, which rises above us,
provides the route over the Tashi Labtsa (5755m) into the Everest
region.
Highlights:
Unspoilt mountain scenery, one of Nepals highest passes, spectacular
views of Cho-Oyu, Everest, Nuptse and Makalu.
Rolwaling Valley is the east-west valley below Mt. Gaurishankar (7145m)
and just south from the Tibetan boarder. This is totally isolated and
culturally diverse area. This is a restricted area but trekking trip
can be taken to the area obtaining a climbing permit for one of the
trekking peak of this area such as for Ramdung peak. The area is just
south from the Tibetan boarder so it is more like Tibetan culture are
here. The area contain of cultural and isolated village, glacier lakes
and so on.
