Khumbu Rolwaling Trek Overview
The Khumbu Rolwaling Trek is a challenging and less-traveled trek in the Nepalese Himalayas. The serene and lonely Rolwaling Valley is combined with the best parts of the well-known Everest Base Camp Trek. For experienced hikers and mountaineers seeking a more difficult trekking adventure in the Himalayas, the trek offers an experience off the usual road.
Rolwaling is the deep Himalayan Valley which lies northeast of Kathmandu and west of the Everest/Khumbu region. Rolwaling valley falls under the shade of the giant snow peak of Gaurishankar (7134m). Additionally, the local Buddhist inhabitants consider the valley as one of the holy sanctuaries.
Rolwaling has its name after Mount Rolwaling which beautifully lies between Everest trekking region and the Langtang region. The valley itself lies at an altitude of 3690m. Rolwaling Valley is protected by the Gaurishankar conservation area.
Highlighting the unique and old cultures of Sherpa and Tamang, the route to Rolwaling is full of diverse Flora and fauna. This place consists of 16 different vegetation types, 235 different birds, and 34 species of mammal.
Rolwaling Valley is also popular as “the grave” since it lies between all those mountains. The valley receives very few visitors, despite the fact that it is a very worthy location. Moreover, the valley has this mysterious story of a snowman called “yeti”. The route from Rolwaling valley to the Khumbu region is really tough, climbing across Tashi Lapsta La(5755m). And thus provides an astonishing view of Mt Everest and other mountains in the Khumbu region.

Best Time to Go
The best time to trek Khumbu Rolwaling is autumn. The monsoon is just over and washed skies. This season provides a clear atmosphere. The next best time is the spring season from March to May which provides green vegetation and trails filled with blooming Rhododendrons. The winter season and Monsoon season are not ideal to trek this place, there is a lot of rainfall and snowfall at this time.
Safety/Fitness
Rolwaling Khumbu trek is certainly among the most difficult ones, however, it depends on which route you take and how long it is. You have to walk for 6-7 hours per day.
It is mandatory to have a high level of fitness so that you can enjoy your journey without any difficulties. You need to practice light exercise, running, jogging, and build your muscle strength before your journey starts.
The Rolwaling valley lies at a high altitude of 3690 m which increases the risk of altitude sickness. You have to stay hydrated throughout your journey, eat nutritional food, check your oxygen level from time to time, and walk slowly so that you can adjust to increasing heights.
If you ever feel any symptoms of altitude sickness like nausea, increased heart rates, breathing difficulties, etc. you need to talk to your guide, your friends, or anyone near
Other Requirements
Insurance Policy
High mountains are not the kind of places you want to travel to without an insurance policy. Travel insurance has become part of trekking requirements. If you ever have some medical emergencies your travel insurance will have to bear it and that is why you need to mention the details about the places you are going and the altitudes you will be reaching.
Valid visas/Passports
All foreigners except Indians are required to have valid visas and passports to enter Nepal. The visa application will need the passport having a minimum of 6 months of validation along with your passport-size photo. You will receive your visa upon your arrival at Tribhuwan International Airport.
