Buried between steep ice giants, the Rolwaling Valley is reputed to be the home of the infamous Yeti. We approach the valley through the charming terraced foothills of Tamang and Chetri villages. Once beneath the sacred Gauri Shankar we climb through primeval forests to the Tsho Rolpa Lake. The northern flank of Pachermo, which rises above us, provides the route over the Tashi Labtsa (5755m) into the Everest region.Highlights: Unspoilt mountain scenery, one of Nepal's highest passes, spectacular views of Cho-Oyu, Everest, Nuptse and Makalu.Rolwaling Valley is the east-west valley below Mt.
