| Ramdung Peak 5,925m |
After
5 hours driving from Kathmandu to the Dolkha
on the highway to Tibet you will leave the
civilization behind and head towards in the
tranquility of the mountains in the hidden
land of Rolwaling Valley. The trek passes through
spectacular high alpine valley, beautiful alpine
forest of pines and rhododendron with picturesque
alpine passes including traditional and unspoiled
rural villages. Similarly you can have chances
to views of farm fields, alpine pastures and
the highland villages of Sherpa, with the backdrop
of the towering view of Mt. Gaurishankar straddling
the border with Tibet. The trek leads to the
last village of this area Rolwaling at Beding.
Adventurous journey continues further east
to scale the 5,925meter Ramdung Peak. The climb
is not technically hard, but it is certainly
challenging on account of the altitude and
the peak remoteness. Ramdung in the Rolwaling
Himal is most of the time used as a warm-up
peak for the 6000-meters in Rolwaling. The
normal-route is climbed via the North Glacier
and North Ridge. The ascent of this peak requires
no more than simple snow walking. The route
is not steep but quite long though. Ramdung offers an excellent view of Everest, Melungtse,
Gaurishankar and numerous other peaks. After
the climb, one more adventure awaits you to
cross the 5,755m. Tashi Laptsa pass. The crossing
takes at least 2 days. After crossing the pass,
a long descent to Thame Valley, then coming
to the village of Thame in the Khumbu area
of the Everest Region. From here, the trek
comes to the main trail to Namche Bazaar, the
Sherpas Capital. From Namche, a scenic day
walk to Lukla for the last camp and for the
panoramic flight backs to the busy and bustling
city of Kathmandu. |
