Best season to visit

The best season to trek Tsho Rolpa is spring (March-May) and autumn (September- November). During this season the temperature is very favorable and you can see a clear view of mountains, green forests, and colorful Rhododendrons.

The monsoon and winter season is risky because of heavy rainfall and snowfall. During winter many people leave their homes and come to Kathmandu or lower altitudes due to extreme cold. Many teahouses are closed in off-seasons.

Safety and fitness

The Tsho Rolpa Glacier Lake trek is certainly among the most difficult ones. 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 building your muscle strength before your journey starts.

The rugged trails to Tsho Rolpa often go up and down and are also filled with stone steps. You have to walk in narrow landscapes and around the cliffs which makes this trek comparatively more risky than others. Tsho Rolpa lies at an altitude of 4580m, 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
