Today is possibly the hardest day of this trek because of the altitude gap. As you leave you will gradually ascend toward north along the main trail and past the scolding NMA sign (“no one profits from illegal mountaineering. So stop doing it right now.”). You’ll be crossing through greenery and bridge along the way. You’ll also witness the amazing views of Chekigo (6257m).

After then you’ll finally reach Beding which is a biggest village of this trek.

As you are heading to high altitude places your body need to adapt with that altitudes so, in order to do that you have to take some rest . Today you can walk around Beding where You can also witness beautiful view of Gaurishankar’s north face and the neighboring peaks. There is also a small Gompa beautifully built into the cliff above the village. From Beding it is possible to take a side trip up to Menlung La (5616m), where you can get some superb views of Melungtse and into Tibet.

This day depends a lot on how you acclimatized. If you are well acclimatized, then this walk should not be a problem. If you are not sure, or wish to make a short day, it is possible to go up to the lake the next morning and then just keep going down from Na. The trail from Beding is clear, and this part of the trek is just spectacular. As you ascend, the valley slowly opens up, and from a V-shaped valley it is gradually becoming a U-shaped valley. The sides of the valley are filled with icefalls and waterfalls, and at this point there are no trees, only grassland and some Juniper bushes here and there. After about two hours you reach the village of Na, which is situated on the north bank of the river. You can put your backpack at one of the lodges in Na, and take only water and warm clothes up to the lake. From Na you take the trail that goes north up the valley. After ten minutes you cross the Rolwaling Khola and from there you keep walking for about an hour on the right (south) bank of the river. After one hour of walking you’ll get to second bridge and cross the Rolwaling Khola again – still one more hour left to get to the lake. From here you keep going on the bank of the river, until the main trail forks left and up to the lakeshore. To get back to Na you take the same trail you took on the way up. It should take about an hour and a half to reach Na. *There are two interesting side trips around Na. One is to another alpine lake called “Dudh Pokhari” (27°53’28.388″N, 86°27’57.278″E. Meaning ‘milky lake’), which is located up the Ripimoshar Glacier. It is possible to do a one day round trip to both lakes from Na. This would be a long day, and you should consult locals in Na about the condition of the trail from Tso Rolpa to Dudh Pokhari, which is not very clear and is changing all the time since it is over the end of the Ripimoshar Glacier. The second is to the small monastery located about 30 minutes before Na, a bit northern to the trail. There is also a big Mani Wall and a mural on one of the big boulders.
