Tashi Lapcha with Nangpa-La High Passes Trekking is a lesser-traveled adventure that combines the remote Rolwaling Valley and the Khumbu regions of Nepal into one unforgettable journey. Along the way, you’ll witness spectacular views of Melungtse (7,181m) and Melungtse II (7,023m) in Tibet, as well as Gaurishankar (7,134m), which sits on the border of Nepal and Tibet. In addition to these towering giants, over 50 other peaks exceeding 6,000 meters stretch from Nangpa La Pass—where the Mahalangur section begins—southwest to the Tamakoshi River. This trek takes you through traditional Sherpa villages such as Tasi Nam and Simigaon, located in the heart of the Rolwaling Valley. Here, you’ll have the opportunity to experience Sherpa culture, traditions, and warm hospitality.
The Rolwaling Valley, part of the Gaurishankar Conservation Area, runs east to west just below Mt. Gaurishankar and slightly south of the Nepal-Tibet border. Often shrouded in mist due to its depth, the valley exudes a mystical and otherworldly aura. Throughout the trek, you’ll be awed by the grandeur of peaks like Mt. Gaurishankar, Dorje Lakpa, and Mt. Everest (8,848m). You’ll also visit Tsho Rolpa Lake, one of Nepal’s largest glacial lakes, situated at an altitude of 4,540 meters in the Rolwaling Valley. This trek is physically demanding, primarily due to the high altitudes, particularly when crossing the Rolwaling Tashi Lapcha Pass (5,755m). The isolation of the Rolwaling Valley offers both a sense of wonder and peaceful solitude. It is also said to be the home of the fabled Yeti—a mysterious, elusive creature with human-like traits. Trekking Tashi Lapcha with Nangpa-La High Passes will truly test your fitness and endurance, so advance preparation is essential—not only to ease the physical challenges but also to enhance your overall experience.
The adventure begins with a drive to Shingati/Gongar/Chhetchhet village 1,377 meters (followed by trekking through villages such as Jagat, Simigaon (2,019m), Dugang, Beding, and Na, where the valley opens wide. One especially remote and intriguing detour leads to Yalung Base Camp—an isolated and serene location. From Na Village, the trail ascends to the glacial waters of Tsho Rolpa Lake, then continues to the Rolwaling Glacier and up to Tashi Lapcha Pass. From the pass, you’ll be rewarded with panoramic views of the surrounding Himalayas before descending toward Namche Bazaar via Thame Village and eventually reaching Lukla, where a scenic flight will return you to Kathmandu. The Cultural Treks & Expedition team will assist you in preparing for this remote journey into the hidden corners of the Gaurishankar Conservation Area. As a less-traveled route, this trek offers a uniquely authentic experience of trekking in Nepal.
