The Rolwaling Trek is located in the eastern part of Nepal and provides magnificent views of the mountains such as Mt. Melungtse, Mt. Tashi Lapcha, Mt. Everest, Gauri Shankar, Pharcharmo, Ramdung, Langtang, Jugal Himal, and Mt. Dorje Lakpa. On the Rolwaling Trek, you also get to see a variety of flora and fauna, rivers, streams, and lakes.
