The Rolwaling Valley trek is one of the unheard trekking programs in Nepal. Situated east of Kathmandu, near the Everest region, the Rolwaling Valley trek is one of the untouched, pristine trekking routes with incredible landscapes and mountain views.
The Rolwaling Valley trek route offers alpine forests, beautiful waterfalls, lakes, glaciers, and mountain villages. There was a time when trekking to Rolwaling Valley was quite famous, but gradually, it became a less visited area because of its limited tourist infrastructure.
However, as the demand for unspoiled and less crowded trekking routes increases in Nepal, the Rolwaling Valley trek is becoming one of the most promising trekking regions. Because of no commercialization, the Rolwaling Valley trekking has become one of the hidden gems.
