This is a unique and exciting trek, which aims to give a taste of the available trekking in the Sikkim Himalaya. The conditions we will find on this trek range from easy trails, sometimes in forest, to narrow ridge paths and sometimes rather rougher tracks across glacial moraine and screed, such as on the final approach to the Goecha La. We follow a well-made and established trail throughout the trek, following the routes used by Yak herders, to take their animals to high pastures for grazing in the monsoon months. The unspoiled Himalayan foothills trekking, variety of scenery, the lack of other trekkers and the pristine nature of the campsites are all qualities unique to this Sikkim trek. The pace of a trip such as this has to be governed by speed of our pack animals and porters. Some of the walking days are quite short as a result of this and for this reason we have graded the trip at the lower end of demanding. There are several long days during the trek.
