Tashi Lapcha Pass (5700m.)Teshi Lapcha is particularly dangerous because of frequent rock falls on its western side and the route through the icefalls is becoming technically more and more difficult due to the movement of the glacier. There are no facilities at all between Na and Thami: Tashi Lapcha is therefore a true mountaineering project. The Rowling area and Tashi Lapcha are technically closed to foreigners, but if you obtain a climbing permit for Ramdung, one of Nepal's trekking peaks, the Nepal mountaineering Association office will issue you a trekking permit for Rolwaling.
The views of Melungtse and Gauri Shankar are the spectacular from the top of Ramdung Go Peak. Likewise, the finest views white peaks including Mt. Everest from the summit of Pachhermo Peak are also breathtaking. Walking through paddy fields, villages, riverbanks, forests and higher pastures will make your trip pleasant. On the other hand, ascending to Ramdung Go Peak on snow, crossing Tashi Lapcha La Pass over glacier moraine and ascent on Pachhermo Peak give you challenges
