The journey takes around 7–8 hours, following the Araniko Highway through picturesque countryside, terraced fields, and small settlements, with glimpses of the Sun Koshi River along the way. Upon reaching Chet Chet, you begin your trek with a steady climb through stone-paved steps and forested trails. The path gradually ascends, offering fresh mountain air and occasional views of the surrounding hills. After about 2–3 hours of trekking, you reach the traditional Sherpa village of Simigaun (2,036 m), beautifully perched on a ridge overlooking the Rolwaling Valley and Gaurishankar Himal. Here you can explore the village, visit the local monastery, and enjoy a peaceful evening with warm hospitality before resting for the night.

After breakfast, begin the walk with an ascends gently through terraced fields and passes by traditional Sherpa houses. You walk along a ridge with beautiful views of Gaurishankar Himal in the distance. The path then winds through rhododendron and pine forests, giving you plenty of shade and fresh air. After some ups and downs, the trail gradually descends towards the Rolwaling River. Crossing small streams and wooden bridges, you continue on a pleasant forest trail before making a final short climb to reach Daldung, a peaceful spot surrounded by greenery. Upon arrival at Daldung, check into the lodge and explore the villages.

Leaving Daldung, the trail gently follows the Rolwaling River through forests and small settlements. We will walk past farmlands, stone houses, and prayer walls, enjoying the peaceful sound of the flowing river. The path is not too steep, making it a pleasant walk. As we get closer, the valley becomes narrower and the mountains appear taller. After a few hours of trekking, we will reach Beding (3,690m), the biggest Sherpa village in the Rolwaling Valley, surrounded by beautiful snow peaks and rich Sherpa culture.

The trek from Beding to Na Gaun (4,180m) is a short but beautiful walk deeper into the Rolwaling Valley. Leaving Beding, the trail follows the Rolwaling River and gradually climbs through yak pastures and open meadows surrounded by high cliffs and snowy peaks. The path is gentle, and you’ll pass small chortens, prayer walls, and mani stones along the way, adding a spiritual touch to the journey. After about 2–3 hours of walking, you arrive at Na Gaun, a small summer settlement of herders. The village sits on a wide flat meadow with stunning views of Chobutse and other Himalayan peaks, making it an ideal place to relax and enjoy the peaceful mountain atmosphere.

After breakfast in Na Gaun, start to hike towards Yalung Base Camp (around 4,800m). The trail gently climbs out of the village, following the peaceful Rolwaling River through meadows and yak pastures. As you walk higher, you’ll be surrounded by tall cliffs and snowy peaks, with stunning views opening up at every turn.

The air becomes cooler and thinner as you reach the upper valley. The trail passes through rocky terrain and glacial moraines, leading us closer to the impressive Yalung Glacier. From the base camp, we can enjoy a breathtaking view of Gaurishankar (7,134m) and other nearby mountains. It’s a perfect place to rest, take photos, and enjoy the packed lunch.

After spending some quiet time at the base camp, retrace the path back down to Na Gaun. The return journey offers more chances to soak in the beauty of the Rolwaling Valley and its peaceful mountain atmosphere.

Leaving Na Gaun, the trek begins towards The trek Tsho Rolpa Lake (4,580m) which is a short but stunning walk. The trail slowly climbs along the Rolwaling River and passes through rocky paths, small streams, and high pastures. As we walk, the valley opens up with wide views of snow-covered peaks. The climb is steady but not too steep, and the beautiful scenery makes it easier. After about 3–4 hours, we will reach Tsho Rolpa Lake, a large turquoise glacial lake surrounded by dramatic mountains. It is one of the highlights of the Rolwaling Valley, offering a peaceful and breathtaking place to rest and explore.

After reaching Camp, explore the lake and have a good rest and preparation for glacier walk and high pass for next couple of days.

7. The trek from Tsho Rolpa Lake (4,580m) to Tarkarding Glacier is a challenging but exciting part of the journey. The trail leaves the peaceful lake and gradually climbs higher along rocky moraines and glacier-fed streams. The path is rugged, with sections of loose stones and ice, so you need to walk carefully. As you get closer, the landscape becomes more dramatic, with towering peaks, hanging glaciers, and deep crevasses coming into view. After several hours of steady trekking, you reach the edge of the Tarkarding Glacier, a massive ice field that stretches far into the mountains. The views here are breathtaking, and it feels like stepping into a completely different world of ice and snow.

You start your journey from Trakarding. The trail slowly climbs along rocky paths and glacial areas. As you walk, you see ice walls, snowy peaks, and the rough beauty of the Rolwaling Valley. The walk can feel challenging because of the high altitude, but the views of the mountains keep you motivated.

Step by step, you continue over the rocky moraine and icy ground, moving carefully. Finally, you reach Tashi Lapcha Phedi Camp, which is the base camp before crossing the famous Tashi Lapcha Pass. Here, you can rest and prepare for the big climb ahead.

Trek from Tashi Lapcha Phedi Camp to Tashi Lapcha Cave is one of the most challenging and adventurous sections of the Tsho Rolpa–Everest trek. From Phedi Camp, the trail begins with a steep and rocky climb through ice and snow, gradually leading up to the Tashi Lapcha Pass (5,755 m). The climb can be tough and requires careful steps, often with the help of ropes and crampons depending on the season.

Reaching the top of the pass, you are rewarded with spectacular views of the Rolwaling Valley on one side and the Khumbu Himalayas on the other, with towering peaks like Pachermo standing close by. After enjoying the panorama, the trail descends sharply on the other side towards the Tashi Lapcha Cave and down to Ngole. The descent is also technical, often over snow and rocky slopes, so it takes time and caution.

The day’s trek is long and strenuous, but reaching the cave provides a safe and sheltered resting point after crossing the high pass. It’s a true high-altitude adventure that connects Rolwaling with the Khumbu region.

From Tashi Lapcha Cave, the trail continues downhill into the Khumbu side. The path is rocky and sometimes snowy, so you need to walk carefully. As you descend, the mountains of the Everest region come into view, making the journey even more beautiful.

The trail slowly gets easier as you move lower. You pass through glacial moraines and rocky valleys before reaching Thyangbo, a small seasonal settlement where you can rest for the night. It feels more peaceful after crossing the high pass, with wide open views of the surrounding peaks.

From Thyangbo, the trail goes down gently following the valley. The walk becomes easier as you leave the high rocky ground behind. You pass through open meadows, small streams, and stone huts along the way.

As you continue, you will start to see more signs of villages and life in the Khumbu region. After a pleasant walk, you finally arrive at Thame, a beautiful Sherpa village with a famous monastery and stunning mountain views. This is a great place to rest and enjoy the culture after the adventurous pass crossing.

From Thame, the trail follows an easy path along the valley. You walk past stone walls, small villages, and forests. The walk feels more lively here, as you meet local people and see yaks carrying loads along the trail.

As you continue, the path gently climbs and joins the main route of the Everest region. Finally, you reach Namche Bazaar, the busy Sherpa town known as the gateway to Everest. Here you can enjoy cozy lodges, small shops, and the colorful atmosphere after the long journey from the Rolwaling side.

Free time in the morning.

After breakfast, descend from Namche Bazaar towards the Hillary brifdge and further walk towards Jorsalle. The trail further follows the bank of Dudhkoshi river and passes the beautiful village of Monjo, Chhumoa, Phakding and many more.

It is interesting to watch others starting enthusiastically on the trek ahead as we head towards our lodge  at Lukla. it is a surprisingly hard uphill climb from Phakding to Lukla, which should take about 3 hours. It is a delightful ending to the trip as one enters the busy village of Lukla. Later check-in at the lodge and refreshments.

Here we will celebrate the success of crossing Tashi Lapcha Pass and completing the journey from the Rolwaling Valley to the Everest region and give a farewell for the trekking team.
