Rowaling Trek

About Rowaling Trek

Rolwaling valley is on east-west valley lying closed to the boarder with Tibet between the Tamba Koshi and the Khumbu himal area to the north-east of Kathmandu. Closed for many years to trekkers it has now been re-opened to those who also hold a climbing permit for Ramdung- Go (5930m/19450ft) one of the permitted trekking peaks in the area. The Rolwaling valley is steep sided and covered in thick forests; therefore the climbs are sheer upright. But this is going to be one of the finest watershed crossings ever made in the entire of Himalaya. This areas offers varied side trips east towards the Tashi Lapcha pass, and to the north high above the village of bedding. The trekking peak of Ramdung lies above the small village of Nagaon.
