概要

Kathmanduから出発11日間 · 最高 4,580 m

ベストシーズン:Mar–May, Oct–Nov · 許可証:Gaurishankar Conservation Area entry permit, TIMS card where required

The Rolwaling and Tsho Rolpa trek is an 11-day journey up a hidden Sherpa valley in Dolakha District, east of Langtang, to one of Nepal's largest glacial lakes at about 4,580 m. It drives from Kathmandu to Chetchet in a day, climbs to Simigaon, Dongang and Beding, rests at Beding, continues to Na for a day trip to Tsho Rolpa under the pyramid of Gaurishankar, 7,134 m, and returns by the same trail before the drive back. The route covers about 64 km on foot, with about 3,850 m of climbing, and sleeps up to about 4,190 m at Na. The valley lies in the Gaurishankar Conservation Area, so you need the conservation area permit and and a guide is strongly advised, but no restricted-area permit. The trek is hard because of steep trails and altitude, and the best months are October and November, and March to May. It suits fit trekkers who want a quiet valley close to Kathmandu.

What the trek is like

The trail starts above the Tamakoshi and Rolwaling rivers at Chetchet, then climbs steeply through terraces and forest to Simigaon, the first Sherpa village. From there it follows the Rolwaling Khola through rhododendron, oak and fir forest, crossing the river on bridges, to Dongang and then up to Beding, a village of stone houses and yak pastures on an open terrace. Above Beding the valley widens into meadows and moraine, and Na is a seasonal settlement at the foot of the lake trail. The lake itself sits behind a moraine dam, with the glacier and the peaks of the Rolwaling Himal behind it.

Highlights

  • Tsho Rolpa, a glacial lake about 4,580 m high in the Rolwaling Valley
  • Views of Gaurishankar, Menlungtse and the Rolwaling Himal from Beding and Na
  • Simigaon and Beding, Sherpa villages with gompas and mani walls
  • Rhododendron and fir forest, with chances of red panda and Himalayan tahr
  • A trek that starts and ends with a road drive, with no flights

Permits and rules

You need a Gaurishankar Conservation Area entry permit, bought through your agency or at the checkpoint, and a TIMS card where the local office asks for it. Rolwaling is not a restricted area. The Nepal Tourism Board April 2023 rule requires foreign trekkers to use a licensed guide in national parks and conservation areas, and 2026 operator reports say checkpoints enforce it in Annapurna (ACAP), Langtang (the strictest) and most other parks, but not in Khumbu, where the municipality opted out (checked 19 October 2026). See the guide rule by region. Fees differ for foreigners, SAARC nationals and Nepalis, so ask for current amounts and check them with the National Trust for Nature Conservation or the Department of National Parks and Wildlife Conservation.

Best season

October and November are the best months, with stable weather and clear views. March to May bring rhododendron, though snow can linger above Beding early in spring. The monsoon has leeches, landslides and cloud, and December to February are very cold with snow above Dongang. Allow a spare day for the road.

Altitude

The plan climbs from Chetchet at about 1,410 m to Simigaon (about 1,970 m), Dongang (about 2,790 m) and Beding (about 3,710 m), then to Na (about 4,190 m), with a rest day at Beding and a day trip to the lake at about 4,580 m. The gain from Dongang to Beding is about 1,050 m in one day, so go slowly. Watch for headache, nausea and poor sleep, never ascend with symptoms, and descend if they worsen. Discuss altitude medicine with your doctor.

Getting there and away

Drive from Kathmandu via Charikot and Singati to Chetchet, about 8 to 9 hours in a jeep, with a rough last section. The road is prone to landslides in the monsoon, and in some years it ends at Singati, adding days. The return is the same drive on the last day. There are no flights, and a spare day for the road is wise.

Lodges, food and costs

Simple lodges and homestays operate at Chetchet, Simigaon, Dongang, Beding and Na, with dal bhat, noodles, potatoes and tea. Rooms are basic, with blankets, and during busy periods some groups camp at Na. Prices rise with altitude, and you should bring cash for the whole trek, because there are no machines beyond Charikot.

Packing list

Broken-in boots, waterproof layers, a down jacket, a sleeping bag rated to about minus 10 to minus 15 C, gloves, hat, sunglasses, sun cream, trekking poles, a headlamp, water purification and a first-aid kit. In the monsoon, add leech socks and a rain cover.

Who this trek suits and how to prepare

The trek suits fit trekkers who want a remote valley without flights. The climbs are steep, and the descent from Beding to Simigaon is a long day of about 19 km, so prepare with hill walks, stair training and some days with a loaded pack.

The plan at a glance

Day 1 drives to Chetchet. Days 2 to 4 walk to Simigaon, Dongang and Beding, with a rest day on day 5. Day 6 walks to Na and day 7 is the day trip to Tsho Rolpa. Days 8 to 10 return to Beding, Simigaon and Chetchet, and day 11 drives to Kathmandu.

Extensions

Add a day at Na for a walk toward Yalung Ri or a day in Simigaon for weather. Experienced trekkers with a specialist agency can cross the Tashi Lapcha, at about 5,755 m, to Thame in the Everest region, which needs technical equipment and the right permits. Others combine Rolwaling with the Everest region by road.

Practical tips from the trail

  • Walking times in the day plan are estimates from distance and climb, checked against operator itineraries; real times differ with pace, load and weather.
  • Go to the lake early, when the air is clear and the winds are light.
  • Use poles on the long descent from Beding to Simigaon.
  • Keep a warm layer and a waterproof jacket in your day bag.
  • Do not camp on the dam, and follow your guide's advice near the lake.
  • Book the return jeep in advance, since few vehicles wait at Chetchet.

Responsible trekking

Take rubbish out, do not swim or camp at the lake, walk clockwise around mani walls, buy from local lodges and ask before photographing people.

よくある質問

You need the Gaurishankar Conservation Area entry permit. Rolwaling is not a restricted area, and no Restricted Area Permit is required for Tsho Rolpa.

The Nepal Tourism Board April 2023 rule requires foreign trekkers to use a licensed guide in national parks and conservation areas, and 2026 operator reports say checkpoints enforce it in Annapurna (ACAP), Langtang (the strictest) and most other parks, but not in Khumbu, where the municipality opted out (checked 19 October 2026). Confirm with a registered agency. Lodges are few and the trails are steep, so a guide is advised.

Eleven days from Kathmandu on this plan, including two driving days, six walking days, a rest day at Beding and the lake day trip from Na. Allow a spare day for the road.

About 4,580 m. Na, where you sleep, is at about 4,190 m.

It is a glacial lake with an outburst flood risk for villages downstream, and an early warning system was installed in the late 1990s. Trekkers visit the shore safely with a guide but should not camp on the dam.

October and November, and March to May. The monsoon has leeches and landslides, and winter closes the upper valley.

Drive from Kathmandu via Charikot and Singati in 8 to 9 hours. The road can be blocked by landslides, and there is no flight.
