Rolwaling Valley Trek

This is a spectacular high route that leaves Khumbu via a glaciated pass and reaches the Rolwaling Valley to the east and its major settlement. There are no villages or shelters along the way and the route is dangerous even in the best of conditions. Only experienced mountaineers should attempt it and then, only with a party that includes some Sherpa who have been over it before. The entire party, including all the porters, should be equipped for severe conditions of cold and high altitude. Since it is necessary to camp on ice, parties should carry tents and fuels for everyone as well as ice climbing equipments (ice axe, rope, crampons, and ice screws). Under ideal conditions the crossing need not require technical climbing, but such conditions cannot be counted on. Storms are to be expected and food for at least five days should be carried in order to be able to wait out bad weather. Temperatures below freezing are always encountered. Crossing has been made at all times of the year, but the best time is probably April to early December. Falling rocks is dangers most often encountered. Ice avalanches are also possible.
