Sikkim, Guiche La Trek

Sikkim Guiche La Trek

Our trek takes you close to Kangchenjunga 8586m the world's third highest mountain. We trek close to Guiche-la Pass 4940m. Sikkim is a little state wedged in between Nepal, Tibet, Bhutan and only recently recognised by China as being a part of India.

Because of its low warm valleys and the high alpine region, there is a variety of wild life, butterflies and ferns, palms, orchids and forests of rhododendron. Our trek takes us through a Tibetan refugee village (Chokka) and forests to the alpine ridge of Dzongri, from where we have a spectacular view of Kangchenjunga, Kabru and Pandim. We continue our trek to Samithi and on to Guiche-la 4940m from where we look straight up to Kangchenjunga. We return by a slightly different route as far as Chokka from where we retrace our tracks to Yoksum and back to Darjeeling.

We begin our journey in Darjeeling. Darjeeling has a fascinating mixture of friendly peoples, including people of Nepalese, Tibetan, Bhutanese and other ethnic groups. There is also some remnants of by the British Raj and has general relaxed and friendly atmosphere. We explore Darjeeling, its bazaars, monasteries, Raj relics, the Tibetan Centre and the Himalayan Mountaineering Institute before heading off to Yoksum in Sikkim to begin our trek.
