UPPER ROLWALING TREK

Upper Rowaling Trek lies in the eastern part of Nepal with a height of 3500m. This is a moderate type of trek with glorious view over mountain. The mountains in this route are clear and heart taking. Rolwalling Trek is the east-west valley below Guri Shanker (7145m), just south of Tibetan boarder. Most of the villages you will cross through the Tibetan but some part below 2500m there are mix culture of Bhramen, magar , Sherpa and Chheteree ethnic group. This is an isolated and culturally diverse area. Rolwalling Trek trek concludes into Khumbu Valley after crossing the Tashi Lapcha (5755m). Some people start their trek from Khumbu. But the other way we operate your trek from Barebeshi is comfortably ascending from the low altitudes, which give you enough days acclimatised as well as for your physical fit. This is one of the vast diverse trekking culturally and naturally.

A technical trek offers you Mt. Everest and views of Gokyo Valley. To do this trek you should have at rock climbing experience, if ice climb experience will be much better.

OUTLINE ITINERARY

Day 01: Upon arrival Kathmandu and transfer to hotel, short briefing will be preparation day in Kathmandu and followed about necessary formalities and rest of program and have a rest day.

Day 02: Free day in Kathmandu to make the final preparations for your trek. If you feel that you are adequately prepared and would like to have an escorted sightseeing tour of Kathmandu city, we will be glad to arrange it for you.

Day 03: Drive to Dolakha by tourist coach.From here the trail leads along the Temba Kosi to the village of Piguti. Camp at Piguti.

Day 04: As you lead northward, crossing the Tamba Kosi and along a broad valley Mt. Gauri Shanker (7146m) becomes visible at a distance. You now enter the Bhote Kosi (Tibetan River) Valley, which is markedly narrower than the Tamba Kosi Valley. The river originates in Tibet and hence the name (Bhot means Tibet in Nepali). The right bank of the river becomes a sheer cliff and trail on the left bank has ups and downs, eventually leading to the village of Suri Dobhan (confluence). There is a steep climb to the village of Manthale.

Day 05: Crossing to the right side of the river the trail is lined with stone and has many gentle ups and downs. The route to Tibet over the Menlung La is passed on your left as you head towards Simgaon.

Day 06: Entering the Rolwaling Valley you are rewarded with magnificent views of the "entangled" summits of Mt. Gauri Shanker. The Rolwaling Chhu River rushes to its destination far below as you traverse the hill on its right. You pass through a rhododendron to emerge on the top of the ridge, which you will follow to the villages of Sakpa and Kalche.

Day 07: Descend to the river and follow the trail towards Nimre. There are possibilities of steep or washed out sections on this path which you must watch out for. The trail meets the valley floor after descending a rocky area and the valley at this point is steep sided and narrow.

Day 08: This day is set aside so that you may acclimatize to the high altitude before trekking still higher. As an alternatives those who want can take a short day hike and explore the surrounding areas while others may want to catch up on laundry.

Day 09: Passing through the villages of Ramding and Gyabru, with their stone adobes and wooden roofs weighted down with stone you reach the village of Beding, which has about 40 houses and is one of two Sherpa Villages relatively unaffected by western influence. Magnificent views of Melungtse (7181m), across the border in Tibet, greet you as the trail heads towards Na Gaon (Gaon=village). Na is the other Sherpa village, which has remained remote from the influences of the western world. You should take time in noting the lifestyles of these people in detail so that you can later, compare them with the Sherpas of the Khumbu.

Day 10: Explore the Rimpo Shar Glacier and the area around Omai Tsho (time permitting). This day spent not gaining altitude is very important for you while heading for the Tashi Laptsha and Pachermo Peak, allowing time for your body to acclimatize to the high altitude. Chobutse (6689m), rises high above Tsho Rolpa at the confluence of the Ripimo Shar and Trakarding Glaciers.

Day 11: Leaving Na, you cross the river to the south bank and follow a stream to the summer pastures at Sangma. Climb up a spur to the settlement at Sangma climbing on moraines and traversing steeply above the main stream. You reach the terminal moraine behind which is the Tsho Rolpa often called Cho Pokhari.

Day 12: This day you will have time for preparing yourself and your equipment for the climb. Make sure all your gears are in order.

Day 13: The trail traverses the north side of the moraine and continues beyond it, occasionally passing rock overhangs. You must start out early because during the later part of the day the area around the lake is in constant danger of rock falls. The trail leads across the rocks and rubble of the Trakarding Glacier south-east to a low point on the ice fall, which you will climb at its lowest to gain the Tram Bau Glacier. A suitable campsite will be chosen where the glacier ends out at around 5400m.

Day 14: Continue towards the Tashi Labtsa along the glacier, which at this point is fairly level. Your labors are rewarded with spectacular views of tengi Ragi Rau (6943m) Bigphero-Go Shar (6729m) and the spectacularly shaped Dragkar-Go (6793m). Ascend a steep and narrow glacier before Tengi Ragi Rau to the summit of Tashi Labtsha. Camp on broad slopes near the Tashi Labtsha. The ascent of Pachermo should not be attempted that day as there is danger of falling rocks from the Tengi Ragi Rau in the afternoons and O/N at Tented Camp.

Day 15: Climb Pachermo (6272m): The route is highly crevassed and could be dangerous. After the ascent retrace your steps to Tashi Labtsha and crossing it head east and then south-west to Ngole.

Day 16: The trail from Ngole is better marked, though there is still the danger of rock fall from Tengi Ragi Rau, as it descends through the upper reaches of the Thami Khola to Thangpo.This is a short day and allows you to recuperate from the exertion of your climb. There are great views of Ama Dablam and Makalu as well as the peaks if the Lumding Himal.

Day 17: Continue trek descent to the Thami village,  510 meters lower down. Thame is a sizable village and has a very important monastery where the Mani Rimdu is held each spring. It also has a police post and lies in the trail to Tibet via the Nangpa La, which branches to the north of the village along the Bhote Kosi.

Day 18: Thami to Namche (3500m) is a leisurely day after the many quite hard ones and it also means your return to electricity and trekkers' civilization. Namche is the administrative center of the Sagarmatha National Park and the hub of Sherpa society.

Day 19: A rest day in Namche with a day visit to the Sherpa villages of Khumjung and Khunde. In Khumjung, there is a high school built by Sir Edmund Hillary and its twin village of Khunde has a hospital built by the Himalayan Trust, which was established by him.

Day 20: Down along the gorge of the Dudh Kosi to the small mountain airstrip at Lukla to catch your return flight to Kathmandu. Weather permitting your trekking crew might prepare a farewell treat for you.

Day 21: Fly to Kathmandu.

Day 22: Departure to your onward destination.
