Goecha La TrekABOUT:

Goecha La Trek: There are very few trekking trails in India which are

popular to both Indians as well as people all over the world. Goecha La

trek ranks pretty high on the list if not a chart topper. The trail blends

typical Eastern Himalayan moist and almost evergreen forests with truly

majestic view of Kanchendzongha and a host of high Sikkim peaks almost

looming in. Entire Goecha la trek trail runs inside Kanchendzongha

National Park. West Sikkim a UNESCO heritage site. The route climbs

steadily to cross a ridge at Dzongri, then proceeds north to the Oglathang

Valley to reach the high altitude pass , Goecha La at its head. The trek

splits in two parts. First half till the high point of Dzongri. Dzongri top

offers amazing panorama of high peaks in Sikkim and Nepal. Few to

mention are Kanchendzonga Range, Kabru North, South and Dome,

Pandim, Rathong, Kokthang and Siniolchu. In the later half trail enters

into the scenic wide open valleys and finally ends up in moraine ridge at

Goecha La. The route has very thick vegetation, along with hundreds of

bird species, butterflies and wildflowers, especially different varieties of

Rhododendrons.

Good level of fitness required, plus insurance that includes altitudes up to 5000 Metres
