The Glacier Lake "Tsho Rolpa" offers the experience of lifetime, which is very attractive but straight forward snow peak with a well-defined north by northwest ridge rising from the relatively flat, crevassed glacier astride the Tashi-Laptsa.

The Team

Nepal Government certified English-speaking Trekking Guide of Ethic Himalaya. He is your guide from your arrival in Kathmandu until your departure. He is in charge of the success of your trip, so don't hesitate to ask him questions and above all to follow his advice.

The Sirdar (Sardar) is responsible for the entire team. Very often he started as a porter, then a kitchen boy, then sometimes a cook and is respected by the whole team.
The Cook (only for tent trekking) is the cook: responsible for all meals.
Kitchen-boy (only for tent trekking): assistant cook, their number varies according to the size of the group. He helps the cook in a very active way, and this is the obligatory step before one day becoming a cook.
Sherpa: not always of the Sherpa ethnic group, he is responsible for actively helping clients. Their number varies depending on the size of the group.
Porters: Nepal being a mountain country, the tradition of human porterage dates back to the dawn of time and continues today. At the same time, many porters who work for agencies ask for more than 25 kg in order to be better paid. We are committed to ensuring that for each kilo over 25 kg, additional remuneration is paid to the bearer. But in order to avoid abuse, and especially loads over 25/30 kg, we ask you to make an effort as well as regards the weight of your bag which will go on the backs of the porters.

Food

For a camping trekking in Nepal, we provide tasty and nutritional food. We make sure there is more than enough quantity of food as trekkers will be hungry after a long day on the trail. We have expanded the list of ingredients provided to the cooks so they have more to work with. We dehydrate a large number of different vegetables in Kathmandu before departure. We feed the local organic vegetables in the village.

For breakfast; we provide porridge or cereal, toast or chapatis and eggs. There will be hot drinks including tea, herbal teas, hot chocolate and coffee. We provide fresh coffee from our Bialetti Moka coffee machine.

For lunch; we stop at a convenient spot with water at the side of the trail. The cook and kitchen walk ahead of the group in the morning and lunch should be ready shortly after our arrival. After lunch we have time to relax before starting to walk again in the afternoon.

For Dinner; on arrival at camp in the afternoon you have biscuits and a hot drink such as tea or coffee. Around 6pm, we serve a three course meal in the mess tent. The starter is often soup with popcorn or poppadoms. We have a range of main dishes and carbohydrates including rice, potatoes or pasta. We cater for a variety of dietary requirements. Our meals are suitable for vegetarians. If there is a meat dish then we also provide vegetarian options as standard. During booking we find out if you have any dietary needs and agree upon meal plans before departure. If you have any questions about the food provided please get in touch with us to discuss further.

Important: If you follow a specific diet, have dietary restrictions or have specific allergies, do not hesitate to tell, when you book the trip with us. Our teams in the field will do their best to meet your request, but be aware that certain local constraints do not allow us to guarantee you a wide variety of alternative menus. For trips involving a large energy expenditure, we invite you to anticipate by possibly planning more groceries (energy bars, dried fruits, chocolates etc.) to ensure sufficient caloric intake.

Drinks

During the trek, tea is served with meals. Two cups of tea are included per meal. Additional cups of tea and other beverages, including mineral water, are the responsibility of the participants. You can fill your gourds with water in the lodges, but it is essential to treat it with purifying tablets. Avoid buying plastic bottles, which then have to be recycled. You can buy already treated water (safe drinking water) in the villages, which limits the problem of bottles.

Climate

Nepal’s climate is influenced by maritime, continental factors and has four distinct seasons. Spring lasts from March to May, and is warm with rain shower and temperatures around 22°C. Summer, from June to August, is the monsoon season when the hills turn lush and green. Nepal has diverse climate because of the topography which ranges from sea-level 75m to 8,848m the Highest Peak of the World Mt. Everest. The southern belts of Nepal Terai remain hot most of the year and temperature decreases gradually towards North as the altitude increases. Based on our experience, we have prepared a chart which shows the approximate temperatures at different altitudes in different months.
