The Rolwaling Tashi Lapcha Pass trek is one of Nepal’s lesser-known Himalayan itineraries. Tashi Lapcha Pass connects Rolwaling Valley with Khumbu Valley (5,755 m). In other words, this walk will take you from Yeti Land to Mount Everest Land.

It runs from Gaurishankar Conservation Area Project to Sagarmatha National Park, with a stop in between. During this tour, you will be able to see the snow-capped peaks of the Rolwaling Himalayan Range, the Langtang region, and the Everest region. Mt. Gaurishankar will be visible throughout most of the hike (7,134 m). Mt. Gaurishankar is the leader of Nepal’s local time. Rolwaling Kang (6664 m), Takargo (6671 m), and Jabou Ri are the other notable summits (6166 m). Similarly, Mt. Cho Oyu (8,201 m) and Pasang Lhamu Chuli (7,350 m) can be spotted during this eccentric walk.

The Rolwaling Tashi Lapcha Pass trip is a fantastic mix of teahouse and tent hiking in eastern Nepal. Trekking in the Himalayas provides a permanent recollection of the incredible sensation of utter wilderness. The untouched Sherpa, Tamang, and Rai villages of Rolwaling and the Everest area are the cultural highlights of this expedition. Local monasteries, chortens, and mani walls are all equally stunning, with artwork of Buddhist civilizations adorning them.

FAQ

What are the permits asked for Rolwaling Tashilapeha Pass?

Trekker’s Information Management System Card (TIMS), Sagarmatha National Park Permit, Gauri Shankar Conservation Area Permit, and Local Government Permit are the permits required for Rolwaling Tashi Lapcha Pass Trekking.

Is the water at Tashilapeha lake safe?

On the Rolwaling Trek, you are not permitted to drink water directly from the tap or from streams. However, a purifier or a SteriPen can be used. Purchasing water is costly (maybe ten times the cost of purchasing water in Kathmandu).

How difficult is Rolwaling Tashilapeha Pass?

The Tashi Lapcha Pass Trek is one of the most difficult treks due to the rockfall, taking many days of walking over the beautiful glacier. The trekker should be well-prepared for iceberg and ice work, as well as possess a solid understanding of ice handling. The walk to Tashi Lapcha Pass is not only challenging, but also a wilderness adventure.

What are Nepal's visa requirements?

You must first obtain a Nepal visa before traveling to Nepal. Except for India, all international individuals who wish to have it. You can apply for this visa once you arrive in Nepal. Then send your passport, which must be valid for at least six months after the beginning of the tour.

How do I prepare myself for this hike?

You should not be afraid or scared if this is your first trek. It is common for your legs to struggle to adjust to higher altitudes if you have never trekked before. So, since you are not attempting to climb Mount Everest or competing in a mountain race, we advise you not to be overly concerned. You should take it easy because our guide will always be with you. Instinctually, the more prepared you are, the more enjoyable your journey will be.
