Rolwaling valley trek is in a wild remote mountain valley and magically nestled in the lap of GaurishankarHimal (7134m). Rolwaling valley is filled with pristine lakes and magnificent virgin snow-capped mountains ideal for climbing with the best quality ice in the world.

Less explored than most of Nepal’s other treks, this amazing Rolwaling Valley is in the Dolakha District in the northeast of Kathmandu bordering the Khumbu region to the east and Tibet to the north.

Rolwaling valley lies in the Gaurishankar conservation area which was established in 2010 covering an area of 2,179 square kilometers with diverse species of flora and fauna.

The main ethnic group in this valley is the Sherpas renowned for their high-altitude climbing wherein they follow Tibetan Buddhism.

Rolwaling valley is also considered as a “Beyul’’ (sacred valley), a valley kept hidden by Padmasambhava (a prominent figure in Tibetan Buddhism) for his followers. This sacred valley is believed to be an abode of Shiva and Parbati known as mount Gaurishanker or “Tseringma'', a Sherpa’s goddess of vast spiritual power where you can feel the overwhelming presence of spirituality!

So, why wait for another trek! Enjoy your pristine journey to the crowd-less trekking trial and experience the Sherpa hospitality and explore the hidden valley of the Himalaya in a short span of time.

Useful Info

How to Get to the Trailhead of Rolwaling?

There is a regular bus service from the old bus bark (near Ratna park) which only takes place early in the morning. The bus ride goes along the Araniko highway via Dolalghat and Charikot then to Chetchet from where you can begin your trek to Rolwaling valley.

The ride is about 8-10 hours’ drive which is about 200km in distance. Or private jeep also can be hired which is a more comfortable and pleasant ride saving a sufficient amount of time with frequent stops for the snapshot.

The major attraction of the Rolwaling trek

Tsho –Rolpa lake

One of the highlights of the Rolwaling trek is Tso- Rolpa Lake which is in the Sherpa language. “Tso” means water and “Rolpa '' is the name of a valley. Tsho-Rolpa is a pristine glacial lake up in the valley, considered as one of the biggest glacial lakes in Nepal.

This lake is with an average length of 3.45 km and 0.5 km width at an altitude of 4,580 meters above sea level. It was once a yak herding place for the locals. This lake has risen considerably over the last five decades from the melted glacier in the Himalayas and is a constant threat to the locals. A recent major engineering project aiming to drain water from the lake has significantly relieved anxiety among the locals.

Apart from the lake, trekkers can explore the hidden valley, the Sherpa hospitality, diverse vegetation, age-old culture, etc. this will be a magnificent journey without any flight connection driving through the hills into the Himalayas.

Permits and fees for Rolwaling valley trek

To trek to Rolwaling valley, you need 2 different permits which are "TIMS card"(trekking information management system) that cost $20 USD for independent trekker per person and $10 USD for organized trekker per person. And another one is the "Gaurishankar conservation area" entrance fee which cost 2000 Nepali rupees.
