Rolwaling valley lies on the original expedition route to Mt. Everest & is one of the classic & highly virgin trekking routes of Nepal. After the opening of Parchermo (6187 m.) as a trekking peak, mountaineers could be seen following this section. The trek through the Rolwaling valley is one of the truly "off-the-beaten-track" travel experiences.

This classic trek combined with a real climbing experience (better if you are a climber) begins with a 2 hr. drive from Kathmandu to the village of Charikot. Passing through the Rolwaling valley you climb the Parchermo & cross the Tashi Labtsa to the Khumbu valley.
