The
only potential trekking route in Sikkim that offers the greatest panorama of
almost all the Himalayan giants located in Sikkim. While trekking to
Dzongri-Goechala circuit one has to be satisfied with partial views of
Kangchendzonga group of peaks only; here one can gaze at the distant
Gurudongmar Range and Dongkya Range Mountains as well as the familiar
Singalila Range.
The
trek also offers great opportunity to experience the lush green vegetation
of moist, temperate forests as well as alpine meadows. From orchids to tree
ferns. From Tragopans to Snow Leopards. The flora and fauna is rich and
diverse. Starting from as low as 5000ft, one can hike up to 13000ft in about
a week’s time, with plenty of camping grounds to choose from en route. Most
importantly, these camping areas are free from crowding hikers, as this
trail is still almost unknown; thereby making the trail a bird watcher’s and
nature lovers paradise!
The
high point of the trek is the holy Tosa lakes. Protected by snow clad peaks,
Tosa lakes have been known to the local yak herdsmen for ages. But for some
unknown reason no outsider is reported to have ventured in to the beautiful
valley. |
