  • Unexplored and odd path with uncommon perspectives.
  • Trek through Yuksom and Dzongri to Goechala.

Overview

Opened as of late as the year 2000, this path isn't greatly frequented by trekkers and is effectively perhaps the best trek in the Indian Himalaya. The total separation we experience among Chiwabhanjang and Dzongri with grand high mountain sees from the beginning makes this trek a flat out great. We additionally get the opportunity to associate with Yak herders with their tremendous groups who go through the months among April and October in these brushing grounds. The majority of the walk is on the edge or near it, the edge shaping the outskirts among India and Nepal. We camp a few days in Nepal in the first place and most days in India. There are segments of tight ways, high points, and low points, and some scree strolling yet generally, the path is acceptable utilized basically by yak herders in Sikkim and Nepal.


We start from a little, pleasant town of Uttarey and stroll through thick woods for 2 days passing some Indian Army Posts till we reach Chiwabhanjang. After that we are for the most part over the tree line, strolling on the edge with fabulous perspectives on the two sides and the snow mountains transcending out yonder. Past Parey Megu we pass a few flawless high height lakes which are adored by local people. We cross anonymous passes consistently with one of note-DafeyBir which is ordinarily foggy and has a lofty drop right to the stream after it. We hit the most well-known path of West Sikkim, the Yuksom-Dzongri-Goechala trail at Dzongri from where we trek on to Goecha-La (16273 ft), the most noteworthy point on this path from where we really need to extend our head to take a gander at Khangchendzonga which is simply 9 km away straight from one point to the other. Throughout the following two days, we drive to Yuksom, the past capital of Sikkim where the main lord of Sikkim was enthroned and furthermore has a stone Coronation royal position.

7. Health & Vaccinations: 

Severe Allergies: If you have a severe allergy please inform the Trekmunk office before you travel. We will do all we can to help, but we cannot guarantee an allergy-free environment on trekmunk trips. You will need to carry your own treatment for the allergy with you, as 'adrenaline auto-injectors' are not carried as standard by our leaders and staff. You should inform your leader on the arrival of your allergy, and let them know where you keep your adrenaline pen.

Vaccinations: You should contact your doctor or travel clinic to check whether you require any specific vaccinations or other preventive measures. You should be up to date with routine courses and boosters as recommended e.g. diphtheria-tetanus-polio and measles-mumps-rubella, along with hepatitis A and typhoid.

We do not encourage the purchasing of single-use plastic bottles.

 

10. Altitude: This adventure involves going to a very high altitude.

We will send you the information in your mailbox about Acute Mountain Sickness and trekking in high altitudes. On this trip, we carry bottled oxygen for use in emergencies.

 

11. Guidance on Tipping: Tipping is the accepted way of saying thank you for good service.

Hampta Pass Trek
Sreekul Nair

I chose (after a lot of research) Trekmunk for my first trek - The Hampta Pass and Chandratal Trek. And I am so really glad I did so. The trekker needs to only focus on the trek and the beautiful landscape around him/her. The rest of everything is taken care of by Trekmunk from day 1 till the end of the trek. Scrupulously managed logistics; no compromise on safety and security; experienced, intelligent and knowledgeable trek leaders; scrumptious meals; contingency and backup plans; etc. make Trekmunk an ideal choice to go trekking with. My trek was lead by Ashish Pathania, Prashant Reddy and Sanjay Thakur. The three are were thorough professionals. They were jolly, very helpful, experienced, knowledgeable, organized, and needless to say polite yet strict when needed. They played the most important roles in making sure our overall trekking experience was a wonderful one. Thank you Trekmunk for one of the most beautiful experiences I have had till date. Will see you guys soon.

Chadar trek is considered to be one of the most difficult and dangerous treks, which requires a lot of skilled trek leaders, a perfect guide and a strong team of porters. I choose Trekmunk for Chadar and they proved they are a perfect team. Highly skilled trek leaders, professional skiers, gave us details on how to walk on slippery ice. Professionally trained and certified with wilderness medication programs always ready to take your care in any condition and travelers themselves. One will enjoy their company, their travel stories and their way of leading a trek. Cheers to team Trekmunk.

Our 7 days trip to Meghalaya was a truly memorable experience. Thank you Trekmunk for arranging such an adventurous backpacking trip and a special thanks to Mohit Goswami our trip leader for giving us an experience of what true travelling is. From hitchhiking to traversing the unknown places to eating delicious Momo's to climbing 3000 steps, we did it all in those 7 days which came to end so quickly and none of us wanted to go back home. Such an experience where you just pick up your rucksacks and walk down the roads of a traveller could have been only possible because of Trekmunk!

Nagaland Backpacking
Mansavi Shah

Traveling with these people is surely an insanely enthralling experience. This is my second backpacking trip with these people and the way I had imagined backpacking to be has been fulfilled by them and they have given me surely more. The best thing about travelling with these people is that you understand the true meaning of travelling and experience it very closely. You are given great freedom but at the same time taking care of. You participate in the process of backpacking. You have a trip leader with you but he acts more like a friend as the days pass by! We attended the hornbill festival and did a wonderful trek to Dzukuo valley in Nagaland with the leadership of this group. You break the boundaries of yourself when you travel like a true traveller and that is possible with these people.
