After
5 hours driving from Kathmandu to the Barabise Bazar on the
highway to Tibet you will leave the civilization behind and
head towards in the tranquility of the mountains in the hidden
land of Rolwaling Valley. The trek passes through spectacular
high alpine valley, beautiful alpine forest of pines and rhododendron
with picturesque alpine passes including traditional and unspoiled
rural villages. Similarly you can have chances to views of
farm fields, alpine pastures and the highland villages of
Sherpa, with the backdrop of the towering view of Mt. Gaurishankar
straddling the border with Tibet.
The trek leads to the last
village of this area Rolwaling at Beding. Adventurous journey
continues further east to scale the 5,925-meter Ramdung Peak.
The climb is not technically hard, but it is certainly challenging
on account of the altitude and the peak remoteness.
Ramdung in the Rolwaling
Himal is most of the time used as a warm-up peak for the 6000-meters
in Rolwaling. The normal-route is climbed via the North Glacier
and North Ridge. The ascent of this peak requires no more
than simple snow walking. The route is not steep but quite
long though. Ramdung offers an excellent view of Everest,
Melungtse, Gaurishankar and numerous other peaks.
After
the climb, one more adventure awaits you to cross the 5,755m.
Tashi Laptsa pass. The crossing takes at least 2 days. After
crossing the pass, a long descent to Thame valley, then coming
to the village of Thame in the Khumbu area of the Everest
Region. From here, the trek comes to the main trail to Namche
Bazaar, the Sherpas Capital. From Namche, a scenic day walk
to Lukla for the last camp and for the panoramic flight backs
to the busy and bustling city of Kathmandu. If you don't have
any desire to cross the Tashi Laptsa pass and enter to the
Everest region then you can come back to Kathmandu via Charikot
the district head quarter of Dolkha.
