Overview

The Tashi Lapcha Pass Trek is an extraordinary adventure that showcases the breathtaking natural beauty and rich cultural heritage of the Nepalese Himalayas. This trek seamlessly combines the remote Rolwaling Valley with the iconic Everest region, linked by the high-altitude Tashi Lapcha Pass (5,755m).

Along the journey, you’ll explore two protected areas renowned for their diverse flora and fauna: the Gaurishankar Conservation Area (GSCA) and Sagarmatha National Park.

The trail takes you through traditional Tamang and Sherpa villages, where you’ll witness vibrant Buddhist culture reflected in ancient monasteries, chortens, and prayer-adorned mani walls. Throughout the year, local festivals further enrich the cultural experience.

One of the highlights of this trek is Tso Rolpa Lake (4,580m), one of Nepal’s highest glacial lakes, set amidst stunning mountain scenery. The ascent over Tashi Lapcha Pass adds a thrilling challenge, while an acclimatization hike to Malung La Pass (5,616m) from Bedding enhances the adventure.

This trek rewards you with panoramic views of the snow-capped peaks of the Langtang, Everest, and Rolwaling ranges. Majestic mountains such as Mt. Melungste (7,181m), Mt. Dorje Lakpa (6,966m), and Mt. Gaurishankar (7,134m) dominate the skyline. Additionally, you’ll be treated to mesmerizing views of Mt. Everest and other towering peaks of the Everest region.
