Rolwaling is a wild and little frequented East - West valley located in the East of Nepal, just south of the Tibetan border, below Gauri Shankar (7145m). Our journey begins with a scenic drive on the Kathmandu - Lhasa highway to the ancient trading town of Dolakha. The trek leads through one of most remote and beautiful parts of Nepal, past picturesque Sherpa, Tamang and Chetri villages with their typical terraced fields, through dense, gloomy primeval forests and over broad ridge backs with wonderful views. It's a palpitating adventure over dizzy suspension bridges, steep paths and impressive gorges up to Tashi Lapsa pass (5755 m), beneath Parchamo Peak (6272 m), in the glaciated wilderness of the very hart of Himalayas. This trek is strenuous and requires fitness and basic mountaineering skills. |
