Rolwaling and Tashi Labsta Trek

Rolwaling Valley Trek

The Rolwaling Valley Trek enters one of Nepal’s most beautiful and sacred Himalayan valleys — the Rolwaling, which Sherpa tradition holds was carved by the hand of a deity. The valley lies below the striking double summit of Gauri Shankar (7,134m) and is home to Sherpa communities who have maintained their Buddhist traditions in this remote setting for centuries.

The trail follows the Rolwaling Khola through increasingly dramatic scenery: from the lush gorge at Simigaon through forest-clad valleys to the austere beauty of the upper valley and the glacial Tsho Rolpa lake — one of the largest and most studied glacial lakes in Nepal, and a focus of climate change research. For the adventurous, the trek can continue over Tashi Lapcha Pass (5,755m) to reach the Everest region — one of the most challenging pass crossings in Nepal.

Community Impact

The Rolwaling Sherpa communities are small and receive far fewer visitors than their Khumbu cousins. Your trek supports families in villages like Na and Beding who depend on seasonal trekking income to supplement their farming and yak-herding livelihoods.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I do Rolwaling without crossing Tashi Lapcha?

Yes. The valley trek to Tsho Rolpa and back is a 12-14 day journey that does not require the technical pass crossing. Tashi Lapcha is optional and adds 4-5 days.

Do I need climbing experience for Tashi Lapcha?

Yes. Tashi Lapcha (5,755m) involves glacier travel and steep climbing. Fixed ropes may be needed. Only recommended for experienced trekkers with mountaineering skills.

Dhorpatan Trek

The Dhorpatan Trek explores Nepal’s only hunting reserve — a vast area of high-altitude grassland, forest, and valleys in the western hills. Despite its name, the reserve is far more interesting for wildlife viewing than hunting: blue sheep graze on the slopes, Himalayan tahr inhabit the cliffs, and snow leopard tracks are occasionally found in the snow above the tree line. The area is also rich in birds, including the iridescent Danphe (Himalayan monal), Nepal’s national bird.

The plateau around Dhorpatan sits at around 3,000m, giving it a distinctive landscape of rolling grasslands and scattered forest unlike the steep valley terrain typical of most Nepal treks. The communities here include Magar villagers and Tibetan refugees who have established settlements since the 1960s, creating an interesting cultural mix in one of Nepal’s most remote corners.

Community Impact

Dhorpatan receives very few tourists. Your trek supports local guides, lodge operators, and the reserve’s conservation efforts. The community of Tibetan refugees in the area has developed small handicraft enterprises that visitors can support.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this a hunting trek?

No. We operate nature and cultural treks in the reserve. Hunting permits are issued separately by the government for a limited number of blue sheep. Our treks focus on wildlife viewing, photography, and cultural experiences.

Churen Himal Trek - Eco Holiday Asia

Guerrilla Trek

The Guerrilla Trek follows the historic route through the Myagdi-Rukum hills of western Nepal — the same paths used during the Maoist insurgency (1996-2006) that reshaped Nepal’s political landscape. Today, this route has been developed as a community trekking trail, with homestays and local guides in Magar villages that were central to the conflict and are now central to the region’s peaceful recovery.

The trail winds through dense forests, crosses the Jaljala ridgeline (3,414m) with sweeping views of Dhaulagiri and the western Himalayas, and passes through traditional Magar communities where the warmth of the welcome contrasts sharply with the hardship these villages endured during the conflict years. This is one of Nepal’s most meaningful and least-trodden treks.

Community Impact

The Guerrilla Trek was developed specifically to bring tourism income to communities in the Myagdi and Rukum hills — among the regions most affected by the conflict and most neglected afterward. Every homestay fee, guide wage, and porter payment directly supports families rebuilding their livelihoods.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this trek safe?

Yes. The conflict ended in 2006 and the region has been peaceful for two decades. The name refers to the historical route, not current conditions. Local communities welcome trekkers warmly.

What accommodation is available?

Community homestays and basic lodges. This is village-to-village trekking with authentic rural accommodation. Meals are cooked by host families using local ingredients.

Chepang Heritage Trail Trek

The Chepang Heritage Trail Trek walks through the homeland of the Chepang people — one of Nepal’s most ancient and marginalized indigenous communities. The Chepang traditionally lived as semi-nomadic forest dwellers, and their culture, food practices (including wild honey hunting and yam foraging), and spiritual traditions are unlike anything else in Nepal. This short trek through the hills between Chitwan and Dhading is one of the most culturally significant walks in the country.

The trail passes through Chepang villages where traditional houses are built into the hillside, through subtropical forests rich with the wild plants that are central to Chepang cuisine, and along ridgelines with views of the middle hills stretching to the Himalayan foothills. Community homestays are simple but the experience of staying with Chepang families and learning about their relationship with the forest is profound.

Community Impact

The Chepang are among the most economically vulnerable communities in Nepal. The heritage trail was developed by local organizations to create tourism livelihoods while preserving Chepang culture. Your visit directly supports families who are working to maintain their cultural identity while accessing economic opportunities.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this suitable for cultural travellers who don’t want strenuous trekking?

Yes. Maximum altitude around 1,500m, walking 4-5 hours per day on hill trails. Suitable for anyone with moderate fitness who wants a deep cultural experience rather than a mountain challenge.
