Trip Overview

Ramdung (5930m), an outstandingly beautiful peak in Rolwaling Valley, provides a unique Himalayan mountaineering experience on its own. If you have been indulging in pleasant fantasies of longer undertakings in the Himalayas, then you can also extend Ramdung Peak Climbing into an interminable adventure. How? Simply combine it with Pacharmo peak climbing, as most travelers to this region do nowadays, and venture across the Tashi Lapcha Pass into the Everest region, a site of world-famous treks and world-famous mountaineering expeditions. Compared to the other popular trekking regions of Nepal, the Rolwaling area was later opened to travelers. Therefore it is less frequented by visitors. That is why; you also explore the diverse cultural and natural wealth as you do the Rolwaling Valley trek to reach the base camp of the mountain.

As the famous trekking trails of Nepal get rapidly busy during the main seasons. The lovers of trekking are looking more for the quiet, off-the-beaten routes. Rolwaling valley fulfills your quest for a novel route and novelty inexperience. Also, this region was opened to trekkers later than other regions. It is Dominating in the north by the majestic, triple-summit-crowned Gaurishankar. The Rolwaling trek starts in the subtropical lowlands at the bed of the Tama Koshi. Then goes up to the high alpine climes of such Sherpa villages like Na and Bedding.

The mountain sceneries, ecological diversity, cultural variation, and adventurous walk. Everything that has caught the fancy of trekkers in the Himalayan region features adequately in your trek to the Rolwaling area. The last major village to our approach to the peak is Bedding. From there we head further to the alpine pastureland of Na. From Na itself, we reach the base camp. We skirt the Ramdung Glacier on our left to avoid its icefall and set up another camp near another icefall on the Glacier. This high camp is in a place of outstanding beauty, with enticing views of Gaurishankar, Shisapangma, and Melungtse. From this camp, we leave the icefall on our left; pull ourselves up to a wide, ice-sheeted col, and proceed to the summit of the peak. Ramdung Peak climbing is a unique experience.
