Sikkim is a land of dramatic contours. From rugged mountains, to deep valleys with raging rivers, lakes, waterfalls and dense forests, Sikkim. Sikkim is an explorer's paradise and is the perfect place for nature lovers, bird watchers and trekkers. It shares the world's third tallest mountain, Mt Kanchendzonga with neighboring Nepal. Today, Sikkim is the home of three different clans - the indigenous Lepchas, Nepalese and Bhutias.

The West Sikkim trek, or Kanchendzonga trek begins at 2100 meters altitude within dense Rhododendron forests of more than 200 varieties. Magnolias, pines, cedar, cypress, silver fir and chestnut trees will also populate your journey, ending with juniper scrubs and incenses in Dzongri. While the Kanchendzonga chain can be seen from many locations along the way, the most beautiful views are enjoyed in Dzongri and Goechela at 4800 meters. During this trek you will hear the whistling wind, flowing streams, birdsong, crickets chirping and sometimes the whistling Tibetan yak herders. You will also visit a small settlement of Tibetan refugees in Tshoka.

Yuksom, the starting point for this trek, was historically the capital of Sikkim. Today it is just a small Sikkimese village, yet it still lays claim to the oldest monastery of Sikkim and the stone throne where the first Chogyal or King was crowned. The village is deeply rooted in history, as is Pelling, another place you will visit. Pelling is home to one of the most beautiful monasteries of Sikkim and also has one of the closest views of Mt Kanchendzonga.

After your trek, immerse yourself in the warmth and hospitality of Sikkim and Darjeeling.
