The
lonely high valley "Rolwaling" consider as
graveyard of the Sherpas, which is hemmed in by mountain
on both sides with the bulk of Mt. Gaurishankar (7145m)
on the north. The most popular settlements in the valley
are- Beding village (3510m) and Na Gaun (4120m). Trekkers
may spend a few days in the Rolwaling area ascending
to the Na Yak Pastures at 4700m. Here trekkers are greeted
by a spectacular panorama of the Mt. Gaurishankar and
Menlungtse peak.
Above
Na village the route meanders up to the high lake Cho
Rolpa and up to the lateral moraines of the Rolwaling
glacier walking below the Rolwaling Icefall (5181m).
After two day of rugged glacier walking one reaches
high Tashi Lapcha Pass (5755m). On the other side of
the Tashi Lapcha, the trail drops down into Theng Po
and next day Thame village (3800m) on the Khumbu Valley.
On the way pass just above dramatic views of Ramdung
peak (5945m) and Pharchamo (6187m) are unforgettable.
