Depart Kathmandu, and we drive toward Chechet Khola via Charikot; situated atop the hill, Charikot offers scenic views of Gaurishanker Mountain, Melungtse Mountain, and other peaks. We will drive past rustic villages and towns to reach Chechet which is located near the small town of Jagat. We trek 2 hrs uphill to reach our first overnight place, Simigaun.

To begin our day, the route leads toward North East walking on a gradual uphill slope, we pass through the thick rhododendron and magnolia forests, and the pastures with numerous clearances that are used for summer grazing. In this area, the change from lush Tama Koshi to the mountainside of Rolwaling Valley is very apparent. We will pass through the small settlement area of Kyalche and reach the wooden bridge. Crossing the bridge, we will make it to Dongang where we will stay for the night.

We cross the Rolwaling Khola we take a path leading through the jungles on the northern side, the walk heading to a gradual climb & then coming to a clearing passing along little settlements of Nyimare, Ramding, and through the farm fields and reaching Beding for the night stay after a good walk of six hours or more with time to visit Beding village where we can do some chatting with the local folks. It is the principal Sherpa village in the Rolwaling area. Situated in a narrow gorge, it is enlivened somewhat by its well-positioned Gompa, comprising about thirty houses.

From Beding onwards, we experience thin air as the altitude increases and the cold chill from the surrounding high mountains gets into our bones. Our trek today will be a short walk of three hours or more along the Rolwaling River, as we take it easy on this high-altitude terrain with its impressive vistas of the surrounding high landscapes and the snow-capped peaks. Our walk continues slowly to acclimatize, just before Na the valley opens out into a classic, glaciated U-shape. On reaching our overnight camp at Na, which is a scattered village and a temporary settlement of the villagers of Beding and beyond, it is a summer yersa (grazing pasture) and potatoes are grown hereabouts. There is a roughly built monastery around here. Ahead, up the valley beyond Na, the majestic summit of Chobutse 6,689m rises above the Tsho Rolpa at the confluence of the Ripimo Shar and Trakarding glaciers. We just relax & relish these stunning surroundings.

It is a day excursion to Tso Rolpa (4500m) & Dudh Kunda Lake, which takes around 5 to 6 hrs for round. This hike is particularly done for an acclimatization purpose. We retrace back to Na by lunch and rest for the remaining of the day.

After breakfast; head towards the Yalung Ri base camp following an uphill ascent for around 3 hrs. As we climb, the view of the surrounding mountains becomes surreal with the valley-wide opening. After lunch, we will run the climbing course, where your guide will teach you the required skills for climbing Yalung Ri.

Conquer the Yalung Ri summit today; We wake up early in the morning at around 3 am and get ready to hit the trail before dawn. After early morning breakfast, we leave the base camp and begin our summit push. The total duration of the climb will be 8 hrs on average from base camp to base camp. From base camp, it is 2 hrs descent to Naa gaon.

From Na, we retrace back to Kyalche following the same trail. Overnight at teahouse in Kyalche or camp. There is just one teashop. 

Trek to Simigaun following the Rolwaling Khola. Overnight at Simigaun.

Short trek down to Chechet for an hour from Simigaun. From here, drive to Kathmandu for 7 hrs via Charikot.
