GOECHA LA TREK
West Sikkim, Sikkim, India
The trekking experience in Sikkim is unlike any other part of the Indian Himalayas. The landscape, people and the surroundings are quite different from any part of the country, which makes the Goecha trek a unique experience. You will walk through rhododendron forests, beautiful meadows and will come across lovely streams of water during this trek. Trekking here is once in a lifetime experience to have in Sikkim. The journey begins at Yuksom, which is situated at an elevation of 5,600 feet and will take you through places such as Sachen, Tshoka, Dzongri and Thansing before reaching the icy trail of Goechala. The entire trip makes for a wonderful experience.
