 An
extremely challenging trip, the Rolwaling-Khumbu trek
nevertheless offers one of the most magical mountain
experiences possible. The traditional Rolwaling Sherpa
culture offers monasteries and hardy high-altitude
villages and premanent settlements, all untouched by
touristic excesses. The landscape itself is truly
otherworldly. You go from barley and potato fields and
yak pastures to the glacial lake of Tso Rolpa lake
(4,550 m), all shades of blue from cerulean to aqua to
turquoise, that many say is the highest lake in the
world. The dominant point in the landscape, north by
the border with Tibet, are the twin-headed Gauri
Shankar (7,134 m), and Melungtse (7,181 m) in a
veritable sea of other 6,000ers. For most people the
opportunity to trek up a high altitude glacier,
Trolambau (ALT) will be a once-in-a-lifetime
experience. The trek itself calls for a high level of
fitness, ease with extreme mountain conditions and the
skills required in them, and the ability to understand
and identify the effects of altitude; the Tashi Lapcha
pass is very high (5,755 m), and there are two glacier
walks.
