Under Kanchenjunga's Shadow
From undefined/day A High-altitude Trekking Tour to Goechala in Kanchenjunga National Park
Destination Covered || Goechala Route in Kanchenjunga National Park
Introduction || This trek is designed for experienced hikers who can walk for 6 to 8 Hr. a day in the high-altitude mountains. The exciting part of this tour is reaching Goechala Pass at 5000 meters in Kanchenjunga National Park's core and taking early morning photographs of Mt Kanchenjunga Peak – the third highest in the world. The 10-days trek takes you to the base of the Kanchenjunga Peak as you pass through some of the beautiful Himalayan landscape – dense, moist forests, fiery Rhododendrons, deep river gorge, vast alpine meadow, snowfields, glaciers and lakes. You have a great opportunity to see several snow peaks of the Greater Himalayas above 7000 meters from a very close distance. You can also witness the rare Himalayan Blue Ships and Red Panda in their natural habitat, along with rare wild orchids and birds on this trek. This trek will start from Yuksom – a small village in West Sikkim and will return to this same place on the same route.
Best Season | October to November & April to May
