Spring AutumnTRIP OVERVIEW
The biggest glacier lake of Nepal, Tsho Rolpa is situated in the Rolwaling valley of Dolakha District. In Sherpa language ``Tsho” means lake and ‘Rolpa’ as a Rolwaling valley and is located at an altitude of 4580m. The name Rolwaling means ‘the valley carved by the plough’ and the steep structure of cliffs do indeed give the impression of a plough carved furrow. It is believed that the lake has been growing constantly due to the melting of ice and as well as global warming in the Himalayas. The biggest Glacier Lake of Nepal, Tsho Rolpa is under the Conservation Project of “Gaurishankar Conservation Area Project (GCAP).
Tsho Rolpa trek is one of the least visited trekking routes located in the Rolwaling region of the east-central part of Nepal. The trail of Tsho Rolpa is considered to be the finest and well-managed route in comparison to other trekking trails. The trek is near the Tibetan border which is why, this trek will let us experience the Tibetan culture and tradition and also will have an opportunity to visit Brahmin, Chhetri, Tamang and Sherpa villages. Also, you can learn about their lifestyle, culture, and traditions. There is also a legendary tale of the abominable snowman, known as the “Yeti” in the district.
Apart from the mesmerizing Tsho Rolpa itself, the trek also features the panorama view of Gaurishankar Himal (7134m). Even though the lake is fascinating, it still lacks popularity which is why you hardly meet other trekkers on the way to Tsho Rolpa.
