Numbur Cheese Circuit trek is an exciting and relatively new trekking trail that differs from other popular trekking trails in the Everest and Rolwaling Region. The trail starts from Ramechhap, located about 190 km east of Kathmandu, the capital city of Nepal. This 14 to 17-day circuit trail connects two beautiful river valleys, Khimti and Likhu, nestled in the lap of the Everest and Rolwaling Region…
The trek is named after the virgin peak Numberchuli, which stands tall at an impressive height of 6959 meters. During the trek, one will have the opportunity to visit Nepal’s first yak cheese factory, established in 1957, and the famous Thodung Monastery. Along the way, one can observe the different ritual activities still being practiced ipracticedduism and Buddhism. The most rewarding aspect of this trek is the opportunity to meet people from 21 different indigenous communities, such as Sherpa, Newar, Thami, Tamang, Yolmo, Majhi, and others. The Number Cheese Circuit Trail provides visitors with breathtaking views of majestic Himalayan peaks, including the Everest range, Numberchuli, Gaurishankar, Jugal, and Langtang Himal range, along with a chance to explore the still-vibrant Sherpa cultural attractions trek is also home to impressive glaciers and moraines, such as Linkhu Nup Glacier, Bigphere Go Glacier, Surmoche Glacier, and others in the surrounding areas. The mountain massifs towards Gumdel, the rocky mountain in and around Panchpokhari, and the wonderful landscape at Tarekharka are some of the most fascinating things to see on this route. High Himalayan lakes, revered by the pilgrims, such as Panchpokhari, Jatapokhari, Bhalepokhari, and Dudhpokhari, are also prime attractions here. The circuit boasts rich biodiversity ranging from temperate to alpine vegetation, comprising folded pine forests, blooming rhododendrons, scattered bamboo patches, and colorful pastures that provide the best habitat for endangered wild animals and bird species such as Red Panda, Musk Deer, Himalayan Thar, and various species of pheasants like Danphe. This primarily Eco-Lodge Camping Trek is combined with a unique homestay experience. If one doesn’t choose to fly to Lukla, one can start the Everest Base Camp Trek from here. Usually, the Number trek starts from Shivalaya, an 8-9 hours drive from Kathmandu, following the Araniko Highway towards Tibet before turning right over the Sunkoshi at Lamosangu for the climb of the Swiss-built Lamosangu-Jiri road, the gateway to the Solukhumbu. However, during the Monsoon season (June – August), the road is usually closed to Shivalaya, so one should walk from Jiri to Shivalaya, adding an extra day to the trek. To enter the Gaurishankar Conservation Area in Shivalaya, one needs to get an entry permit from the information center in Scenterya or Kathmandu, the same place where the permit for Everest is obtained.
Some of the trip highlights include sightseeing in World Heritage Sites in Kathmandu, a scenic drive from Kathmandu to Those, shivalaya, and the trek of Everest and the Rolwaling Region. An ancient walking path known as Jiri to Shivalaya connects the Everest region with the Numur of Cheese Trek. One of the new treks now begins in Thosey Bazaar, Ramechhap which is also referred to as Nepal’s second iron resource after Phulchoki, where iron was once used to create weapons for war with China. For this reason, Nepal’s history is remarkable.
