The Tashi Lapcha Pass separates the Gaurishankar Conservation Area from Sagarmatha Conservation Area. However, the trail of Tashi Lapcha Pass connects the Rolwaling region with the Khumbu region. Leaving behind the tranquil trails of the Rolwaling region, we will move towards the bustling trails of the Khumbu region, crowded with the trekkers from Everest Base Camp. Strolling around the lively Namche Bazar town, we will finally end our Rolwaling Tashi Lapcha Pass trek at Lukla. After that, we will fly back to Kathmandu.
