It is also one of the best view points in the Himalayas with superb panoramic views of Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse, Cho Oyu, Makalu and many more peaks. The mountain derives its name from the glacier lying on the neck of the mountain.

Mustang

Once an independent kingdom, the kingdom of Mustang was annexed by Nepal after Nepal was declared a republic in 2007. The Mustangis or the people of Mustang call themselves Lobas, and they have their own King or Tribe-leader, Jigme Palbar Bista. The Nepal Government took back the official recognition of Bista as the Mustangi King but however, the people there still respect him as their King. Bista also grants audience to the visitors upon request.

Mustang is rich in Buddhist culture, similar to the area of the Tibet Autonomous Region of the People's Republic of China. Thus, it is an alternate way to experience the Tibetan culture and landscape.

The Kali Gandaki gorge has been used as a trade route between India and Tibet for centuries. Today, it is part of a popular trekking route from Pokhara to Muktinath, part of the Annapurna Circuit. The gorge is within the Annapurna Conservation Area.

The highlight of the trek is our ascent of Gokyo Ri above Gokyo lake. From the summit we gain superb views of Everest as well as the 8000m peaks of Lhotse, Makalu and Cho Oyu. Another remarkable feature is the tremendous ice ridge between Cho Oyu and Gyachung, considered one of the most dramatic panoramas in the Khumbu region. At the base of Gokyo Ri, Gokyo is a small hamlet of a few stone’s home and one of the highest settlements in the world at the altitude of 4,750 m.

Gokyo lakes are the world’s highest freshwater lake system comprising six main lakes (Gokyo, Thonak, Gyazumpa, Tanjung and Ngojumba), of which Thonak Lake is the largest and Gokyo Lake (also known as Dudh Pokhari) is the main lake with the Gokyo village on its eastern shore. This trek combines highlights of the Everest trek including remote monasteries offering insight into local Tibetan and Nepalese cultures.


After a thirty-five minutes mountain flight to Lukla, from where we proceed to Phakding alongside a raging river that flows from the highest peaks, named "Dudh" (milk) Kosi (river) because of its colour. Next day, we commence our trek to the village of Namche Bazaar, the Sherpa "capital" of Nepal. It is a tough climb as the trail passes through forest of pine to a vantage point that provides our first view of Mt Everest.

The subsequent days we will pass through Phortse Village and Machhermo where the mountains are more spectacular.

Rolwaling to Namche Trek

Gauri Shankar Himal

Between the Everest and Langtang regions is the stunning mid-Eastern range of the Himalayas; the Rolwaling valley. A few miles south of the Tibetan border it is known as one of the seven hidden valleys in the Himalayas. Rolwaling Himal includes Melungtse (7,181m) and Melungtse II (7023m) inside Tibet and Gaurishankar (7,134m) on the Nepal border with some 50 additional peaks over 6,000m, all extending from the Nangpa La pass where the Mahalangur section begins, southwest to the Tama koshi River. Tsho Rolpa (also Chho Rolpa), one of the biggest glacial lakes in Nepal is located at an altitude of (4,580m) in the Rolwaling Valley. Though it neighbors the world famous Khumbu Valley, Rolwaling Valley is explored by very few tourists. The valley is also called "the grave" by the indigenous Sherpas on account of its location as it is buried down between steep ice-giants. Because of its geographical intricacy, the region’s natural as well as cultural beauty has been kept intact. The valley is abundant with alpine lakes, hanging glaciers, moraines, high pastures, waterfalls and imminent view of snowy peaks in the backdrop.

Rolwaling trekking leads through the remote and beautiful parts of Nepal; past picturesque Sherpa, Tamang and Chhetri village with their typical terraced fields, through dense and gloomy primeval forest with wonderful views. This is a wild and barely explored district where legendary tales of the abominable snowman, known as the "Yeti", haunt the imagination of climbers. On the slope of Rolwaling Peak itself, the famous British mountaineer, Eric Shipton, first photographed Yeti footprints in 1951. It is a rugged yet beautiful area rarely visited unlike its neighboring Himalayas of Khumbu and offers lots of mountaineering challenges to the adventurer. The trek to Rolwaling involves crossing of high pass Tashi Labtsa (5,755m) and the climbing of Parcharmo (6,273m) and technical mountaineering skills and equipment are required for this incredible adventure.

The trek starts from Dolakha, an eight-hour drive from Kathmandu and it leads up along the Tama Kosi river banks under the shadow of Mt. Gauri Shanker. From Simigaon, the trail turns right along Rolwaling Khola running deeply below ahead and parting from the old trade route to Tibet. Views of Melungtse appear proceeding further through the village of Beding (3,690m). From Na Gaun, the trail meanders up to Tso Rolpa Lake and up to the lateral moraines of the Tarkading glacier, climbing steeply up on to the Drolambhu Glacier.

Arun valley trekking with Everest base camp

Arun valley trek takes you to the Eastern part of Nepal. Arun valley lies in the Sankhuwasaba district between two National Parks: Sagarmatha and Makalu Barun providing an alternative approach to the Khumbu region. It is a non-touristy trekking trail with superb Himalayan views of Everest, Makalu, Baruntse, Lhotse, Nuptse, Ama Dablam, Thamserku and several others.  

Arun valley is the deepest valley in the world blessed with an incredible diversity of natural beauty and culture. Due to its isolation and lack of tea houses this area receives few trekkers; a marvelous trek for trekkers who do not want to encounter a mass influx of tourists on the trail but equally enjoy beautiful scenarios of valleys and splendid views of snow-capped mountains. Culturally, the Arun Trek is also very interesting - moving from Sherpa to Rai and Limbu villages, then down to Chhetri and Brahmin villages. Despite the chain of basic lodges, impromptu lodgings for small groups can be found in keeping with traditional hospitality throughout Eastern Nepal.

Arun valley trek starts with a flight from Kathmandu to Tumlingtar and ends at Lukla with a flight back to Kathmandu. The trek from Tumlingtar at barely 390m to Makalu Base Camp at 4,800m is a long and arduous as vast range in temperatures is confronted, from steamy in the lowlands to snow storms at high altitude. Walking north up the Arun river to Sedua and Num, then crossing Barun La (4110m.), we venture  into the upper Barun khola valley for a close look at Makalu. The highest point of this trek is Salpa Bhanjyang and also we can visit Hindu holy Lake Salpa (3414 m.). The scenery along the trail ranges from mixed farming land and scattered Sherpa and Rai villages to rhododendron and oak forests. Trekking along the Arun River and its valley is something different experience. It is the best combined trek of nature, rivers, valleys, traditional life-styles and of course, mountains. The native people of the region and villages are extra live attractions.

After a week of trekking and exploring through the remote territory, we push up on the main Everest trail to Kalapatthar for tremendous close ups of Everest, Nuptse and Lhotse. As we venture up the Dudh Kosi River to Namche Bazaar, the gateway to the Khumbu region, the route takes us through several Sherpa villages, across valleys and through the high mountains and monasteries. The views grow even more spectacular as the trail leads us to Pangboche via Khumjung village, where you will be rewarded with spectacular views of Ama Dablam, Everest, Lhotse, Thamserku, Kwangde, and Tawache. The route follows the Imja valley to Dingboche and up to the base camp of the mighty Everest and finally Kalapatthar for outstanding panoramic close up views of Everest before retracing our path to Lukla.
