The Great Himalaya Trail N8: Rolwaling & Everest

The trek to Everest’s base camp is a popular classic and it is easy to reach its starting point by a short flight, although the beautiful walk in from Jiri is highly recommended. Jagged white peaks surround you from day one, and comfortable, well-stocked lodges run by friendly Sherpanis are sprinkled along the wide even trails.

The GHT adventurers will look further east and west. Shipton and Hillary first trekked to the east in their exploratory 1952 expedition via the formidable ‘three cols’ into the Makalu region. This must certainly rank among the greatest mountain walks in the world. T the west, the trail exits to Rolwaling valley via the challenging Tashi Labsta (5,760 m), which, difficult as it is, used to be the Sherpa’s fastest route to Kathmandu.
