Gaurishankar Trail and Tashi Lapcha Pass

An new trek exploring the quiet Gaurishankar region of Nepal, with stunning panoramic views and a wide variety scenery in Rolwaling region

This is an unusual trek escapes from the well trekked trails to explore the untouched ridges and valleys below Gaurishankar. The programs combines a wide variety of scenery, passing through charming, tranquil villages, while we enjoy spectacular panoramic views of Gaurishankar, the Jugal Himal and the Rolwaling Himal from sparsely inhabited high ridges rarely trodden by westerners.  Also Sir Edmund Hillary led a Yeti Expedition in 1950 searching for this fabled snowman. These itineraries are well designed for your suite to choose the programs. Our treks start from the Barabise and Dolakha (Charikot) Bazaar.
