Epic Trails, Breathtaking Scenery: Goechala Trek

The Goecha la Trek is a challenging foot journey that takes the trekker through the eastern Himalayas in Western Sikkim, India. The trekking route starts from Yuksom and takes you up-close for a spectacular view of the mighty Kanchenjunga nestled in between a majestic panorama of the other Himalayan giants within its range of mountains.

The total distance covered is around 90 kilometers(56 miles), with an elevation gain of over 2,800 meters(9,200ft). Spanning over 8 days, Goecha La Trek offers mountain views, pristine forests, and river crossings. The trekking is accessible for all levels of hikers and is perfect for those looking for a new adventure.


Goecha La Trek is an extension of the Dzongri trek – and trekking beyond the meadows of Dzongri is raw adventure at its best where the visitor is taken into the realm of towering mountain peaks directly above and the camp is set amidst the view of rumbling avalanches and high mountain glaciers.

The itinerary described below is designed to offer a leisurely pace for enjoyment, but the total trek period can be reduced for the hardy as well as for those with less time to spare. Contact us to personalise your trek.
