More about Tsho-Rolpa Lake Trek

The lake is one of the biggest glacial lakes in Nepal and has grown continuously over the last five decades because of glacial melting and threatens to burst through its unstable dam. In awe of the glacial lake surrounded by the magnificent Himalayas, the difficulties during the trek are instantly forgotten. One other highlight of Tsho-Rolpa Lake Trek is the Bigu Gompa. Bigu Gompa is a great nunnery institute which once sheltered over 300 nuns. It lies in the village of Bigu. Bigu is a village at the foot of the Rolwaling Himal which is a quaint village where one can explore the local village culture and excellent mountain views. It is considered a difficult journey, but the journey and the destination make an affordable cost of effort and difficulty. It is a better choice to trek in seasons other than the monsoon and the winter.
