Goechela Trek

Trekking routes in Kanchenjunga National Park starts from Yuksum (the first capital of Sikkim) on a well beaten trekking track in form of bridle path which run through terraced fields of barley and orchards, then onto moss-laden lush green forests of pines, firs, giant magnolias, rhododendron, spruce and orchids- a naturalists’ paradise. Intermingled with this are the chirrup, twitter and peeping of exotic Himalayan birds. As one climbs up with patience and pains, one is rewarded by the main theme of this trek, the close-up views of the Sikkim mountains –the mighty Kanchedzonga, regarded the guardian God of Sikkim, the third highest peak on the planet.  Besides it is surrounded by the several others  like Pandim, Jopono, Narsing and few others
