SIKKIM TREKS

Trekking in Sikkim in the Eastern himalayas  offers a mesmerizing journey through pristine mountain landscapes, vibrant alpine forests, and picturesque villages. With its diverse terrain ranging from lush valleys to rugged mountains, Sikkim is a paradise for adventure enthusiasts. Sikkim is our little Himalayan wonderland nestled in the North-Eastern part of India. 

The tourism map of Sikkim comes with magnetic views of the great Himalayas. Located to the south of Tibet, the place is sandwiched between Nepal to the west and Bhutan to the east. It is a beautiful patchwork of lush green valleys, subtropical jungles, high altitude lakes, rolling green mountains, colourful rhododendron groves, and soaring snow-laden white mountains. 

The state is divided into 4 districts: North, South, East and West. With scenic villages and tea gardens in the south, ancient Buddhist monasteries and sacred lakes in the west, the historic silk route to its east and a rugged tibet-like Himalayan wilderness to its north – the place offers a huge range of experiences for leisure travellers as well as adventure seekers. It is the perfect example of how awesome things come in small packages. 

Sikkim is also home to the world’s third highest mountain. The majestic Mt. Kanchenjunga stands tall as the guardian deity for the locals, revered and worshipped by all. Trekking in Sikkim caters to all levels of experience, from novice hikers to seasoned mountaineers. Popular trails include the Goecha La Trek, which offers breathtaking views of the majestic Kanchenjunga, the third highest peak in the world. The Dzongri-Goecha La Trek takes trekkers through rhododendron forests, high-altitude meadows, and glacial valleys, providing an immersive experience in the region’s rich biodiversity. 

For those seeking a easier and more cultural experience, the West Sikkim Homestay Trail is a great option. The trek passes through remote villages at the foothills of the Kanchenjunga offering encounters with local ethnic communities and their unique way of life. Throughout the journey, trekkers are treated to panoramic vistas of snow-capped peaks, cascading waterfalls, and vibrant prayer flags fluttering in the mountain breeze.
