Trek in Sikkim: ‘The Hidden Gems of the Himalayas’

Trekking in Sikkim is not just about discovering new areas, but it is much more about discovering the essence of the Great Himalayas; about conquering new heights and covering distances that open up to some of the best views in the world; about enjoying the colourful and deeply spiritual Buddhist culture of the region. Sikkim is located in the northeastern region of India and is the best place for trekkers; it has trek varying in difficulty for all types of travelers.

Perhaps the most popular and probably the most challenging of all Sikkim treks is the Goecha la trek which lets you get a glimpse of the mighty Kanchenjunga- the third highest mountain of the world. This trekking exercise is not only a test of the number of days one is willing to take on the steep slopes but also the great spectacle of the towering mountain ridges of the himalayan and the breathtaking beauty of the rhododendron forests one takes through during the trekking period. Quite interesting is the spring season when flowers are in large proportion making the background of snowy mountains brighter.

For those who are not keen on an all out tough trek the Dzongri Trek is relatively easier but just as fulfilling. It is an extra-spectacular alternative to Goecha La for those who do not have time to go through strenuous trekking all the way up to Goecha La. From the trail of Dzongri viewpoint, one gets the perfect view of Kanchenjunga massif and that makes it an ideal place for photographers and any other natural beauty lovers.

The Monastic Trek will definitely be of much interest for culture lovers due to the fact that it unite several monasteries in the area. Physically this trek tests your endurance and capabilities to the last drop and in addition one can actually get a taste of the spiritual world of the monks in Sikkim. The monasteries are calm and quiet and give one an opportunity to meditate besides being rich in history and governance makes one understand more about the Buddhist practice.

Another spine chilling trail is the Singalila Ridge Trek which is one of the most special treks because this trail lets the trekkers to trek on the ridge between two countries: India and Nepal. This trekking presents beautiful sceneries of four out of five highest mountain ranges in the world including Mount Everest, Mount Kanchenjunga, Mount Lhotse, and Mount Makalu. The path is laid down in the Singalila National Park to enable the trekker to see wildlife and plants such as the red Panda.

If ever one has desire to make the adventurous journey then you can try Green Lake Trek, which suits the real meaning of remoteness and untouched feature. This trail is not as popular as some of the other trail so hikers are rewarded with a quiet and untouched experience. Trekking itself is basically a four-hour hiking journey through the thickets, crossing brooks by foot and going uphill and downhill over steep terrain to reach the amazingly beautiful Green Lake – a place nestled between high mountain ranges.

Trekking in Sikkim requires one to exercise a lot of caution and ensure that he or she is always ready for any eventuality. Seasonal variations exist with frequent changes in weather conditions and people with altitude related diseases are likely to affect. Before embarking on the journey, it is very important to spend some time adjusting to the new environment, make sure you are well equipped and in some cases employing the services of friendly personnel to guide you in getting the right tools for the journey without compromising safety.

All in all, it is quite clear that Sikkim state provides enormous trekking trails that highlight its terrain and culture. Every trail has a unique story to narrate, every view point unveils other opportunities to marvel at and, all the experiences one undergoes on these trails serve to educate one on nature and oneself as well. For the first time hiker or the experienced trekker, Sikkim offers a range which will satisfy your adventurous side and give memories to cherish.

28, 29, 30 🍇

Hello there! Thank you for the asks!

28. does your country have a lot of lakes, mountains, rivers? do you have favourites?

Yes, we do! India is a vast country with different geographical landscapes.

My favourite mountain I have seen so far is Stok Kangri, in Ladakh - the shape of the mountain is so pretty (another pretty mountain is Moon Peak that overlooks Dharamshala). I have seen Kanchenjunga from a distance in Sikkim, and it's a gorgeous ice wall. I want to do a trek where I can see the mountain up close.

My favourite river is Indus in Ladakh, this is where the name "India" comes from. Ganga becomes more and more polluted once it enters plains, but the rivers from the mountains (Alaknanda, Pindar, Dhauliganga, Mandakini, Bhilangana)that form the river Ganga? Outstanding beauties.

Also dearly love Periyar. :) it's the river you will see from the plane if you fly near Kochi, Kerala. It's a huge river and I was always so scared to try swimming in it because it's humungous. In my mother's teenage years, the river used to flood frequently and her family used to live on the top floor of the house.

Lakes? Hmm. I haven't seen any I like. But maybe backwaters can qualify? Love the Vembanad lake in Allepey.

I have heard Wular Lake is beautiful but I haven't seen that part of Kashmir.

29. does your region/city have a beef with another place in your country?

Where I currently stay? Yeah. Karnataka and Tamil Nadu regularly beef over sharing of Cauvery river water.

30. do you have people of different nationalities in your family?

Not at the moment, no. I am afraid to say that I am most likely to bring people of different nationality into the family.

I am not from US asks

My Sikkim solo adventure began in the capital city, Gangtok. Surrounded by lush mountains, Gangtok greeted me with its charming streets, adorned with vibrant prayer flags and bustling markets. The serene Enchey Monastery and the panoramic views from the Ganesh Tok viewpoint provided a tranquil start to my exploration.

Heading east, I made my way to the iconic Rumtek Monastery, a spiritual haven perched on a hill. The journey itself was a visual feast, with winding roads and terraced fields. Tsomgo Lake, with its crystal-clear waters, offered a serene atmosphere, and the opportunity for yak rides added a touch of adventure to the experience.

Yuksom, the historic first capital of Sikkim, provided a perfect base for exploring the region further. The trek to Goechala, one of the most exhilarating experiences of my journey, offered panoramic views of the towering Himalayan peaks, including the majestic Kanchenjunga.

Day 8-9: Ravangla and Buddha Park

Ravangla, a peaceful town surrounded by tea gardens, served as a refreshing retreat. The Buddha Park, with its colossal statues and serene ambiance, was a spiritual and visual highlight. The Tathagata Tsal Monastery added to the tranquility of the surroundings.
