The Goechala trek begins from Yuksom, an historical town in the West of Sikkim at the foothills of the Himalayas. With its unforgettable backdrop of the world’s 3rd highest peak Kanchenjunga this trek attracts people from all over the world. It is also relatively less explored than Mt. Everest Base Camp and Annapurna. You will enter Kanchenjunga National Park and venture through pristine meadows and forests as well as crossing sacred lakes and incredible hanging glaciers. The 8-day Goechela trek allows you to be immersed within the mountains while seeing a panoramic view of the Kanchenjunga range.
