Inside the entry gate of Great Himalayan National Park(GHNP), Rolla is located in a narrow valley by the Tirthan River and is a great way to spend the night before advancing further to the 3100m high Shilt Hut. The walk to Rolla is mostly flat along the Tirthan River and passes through dense green forests with views of villages clinging to mountainsides. Rolla is 9 kms from Gushaini and roughly takes 4 hours.
A great alternate to camping at Rolla is the campsite at Talinga which is bang on a flat greed ground adjacent to the roaring Tirthan River. There is a hanging wooden bridge that goes to the funnily named villages of Talinga & Shalinga that completes a pretty picture. The campsite at Talinga is hardly two hours from the bridge at Gushaini.
Rolla trek is one of the best and very easiest hike. Any untrained new trekker can do easily this one. Rolla trek is best and famous for overnight camping and specially for weekends. The trek is open throughout the year.
