Rolwaling valley is one of the most appealing regions of Nepal. Situated in the shadow of the Rolwaling Himal, this remote Himalayan valley lies on east of Katmandu. The most popular villages in Rolwaling valley are Beding (3510m) and Na Gaun (4120m). Trekkers may spend a few days in the Rolwaling area ascending to the Na Yak pastures at 4700m. Here trekkers are greeted by a spectacular panorama of the Gauri Shanker and Menlungtse Peaks.
Above Na Gaun, the trail meanders up to a high lake named Chodalpa (4540m) and up to the lateral moraines of the Rolwaling glacier below the Rolwaling icefall (5181m). After a two days trek along the rugged glacier, you reach the high Tashi Lapcha Pass (5755m). On the other side of the Tashi Lapcha, the trail drops down into Thame village (3790m) on the Khumbu valley. From here, you can trek to the Everest Base camp, and then fly to Katmandu from Lukla.
