After the Kathmandu valley tour, the Everest and Rolwaling Traverse Trek starts with a mountain flight to Lukla and begins on the spectacular trail to the Gokyo valley for views of Mt Everest (8848m) from Gokyo Ri and crossing the stunning Renjo La. The challenging approach to the glaciated Tashi Labsta Pass (5760m) from Thame rewards those who attempt it with fantastic mountain vistas, though it demands a great effort. After crossing two immense glaciers the descent of the Rolwaling valley through picturesque Sherpa villages is a great introduction to the equally hospitable Gurung and Tamang villages. The final challenge is a section of wild ridge-top rhododendron forests before descending to the extensive nunnery at Bigu Gompa and driving to Kathmandu.
