ROLWALING KHUMBU TREK |
|
We begin our journey
with a scenic drive on the Kathmandu-lasha
highway to the ancient trading town of
Dolka.
Our walking through a scheduled and one
of the most beautiful parts of Nepal
starts here. We trek through the
Rolwaling valley, celebrated as one of
the seven hidden valleys in the
Himalayan, past beautiful Sherpa and
Tamang villages. Rolwaling is the East
-West valley below Gauri Shanker (7145m)
just south of Tibetan border. Beding and
Na is the last Sherpa village of this
valley, where more than 20 good Sherpa
climbers, have conquered Mt. Everest and
numerous other 8000m peaks. We cross
over the Tashi Lapcha pass (5755m) and
visit Thame, Tenzin Norgay's hometown,
and enter the Khumbu valley, the land of
the Sherpas which lies at the foot of
Everest. Great views of Mt. Gauri
shanker, Mt. Dorje Lakpa and Mt. Tashi
Lapcha all along the trail. This trek
also offers a great opportunity for
short climbs of peaks like Ramdong Go
(5930m) and Pharchamoro (6187m). This
trek being strenuous, technical climbing
experience and good mountaineering gear
are essential. |
