The Rolwaling Chu is a tributary of the Tamakoshi and the river of the Rolwaling Valley in the Rolwaling Himal , Nepal , Himalaya . It runs in an east-west direction, its source consists of several glacial streams, including the outflow of the Tsho Rolpa glacier end lake . It flows into the Tamakoshi and is thus part of the Ganges river system. Within a length of 26 km, the river overcomes 3,000 meters of altitude and is therefore whitewater in character . There are several small Sherpa villages and lodges along its course . The route of the Rolwaling Trek runs largely along the river.
