This itinerary is built around a strenuous trek that takes you to Goechala at 5000 mtrs. opposite the southeastern face of Mt. Khangchendzonga (8345 mtrs.), the third highest mountain in the world and also one of the most majestic peaks.

The trek begins through dense sub-tropical forests and passes vast pasture lands of grazing Yaks and finally reaches the alpine region where the only vegetation are Rhododendron shrubs rising a few inches above the ground. The day temperature could rise to a maximum of 20ºc during trek while the minimum temperature could hover around zero.
