The Rolwaling valley lies to the east of Kathmandu and west of Khumbu, below Mt. Gauri Shankar (7145 m), south of Tibetan border. The trail starts from Barhabise, a small trading town of Sindupalchowk and then leads up along the Tama Koshi river bank under the shadow of Mt.Gauri Shankar to Bhote Koshi River . Great views of Mt. Melungtse (7181m) Mt. Dorje Lakpa and Mt. Tashi Lapcha are visible when you proceed further through the village of Beding (3690 m) with its monastery.After two days rugged glacier walking you reach to Tashi Lapcha Pass(5755 m). Crossing the Pass the trail descends to Thame village,Tenzing Norgay's hometown in the Khumbu valley. The Rolwaling trek is one of the most difficult treks in Nepal and requires technical climbing experience and a well- equipped and experienced staff.
