Hi, just found your blog through IndiaMike. Your journeys take me back to the college days, we went to Pindari and Sunderdoonga among other places about 15 years ago.

Hey there..while i was readin ur blog i was remembering my days in the trek jus 2 months back. We had been to tsoka and were movin up to dzongri but cuz of some unavoidable conditions on the way to dzongri we had to come back.
I still remember i was right in the front wit another friend of mine and we were jus 2 kms away from dzongri..but had to come back . Ater seeing the pics here i am feelin so bad that i couldnt make it!! Will go again sometime for sure 
…the blog is very nicely narrated. Good work!

Hey, Its very informative. Wish you could have added a few details on costs. And how you got the porters. Can I just go and find porters as soon as I get off the bus.
thanks

Thanks. Nice blogs and nicer pics.
A small correction though that you might want to make. The place where you camped after Tsoka (small Plateau, with a solitary hut) on way to Dzongri is Phedang and not Bakhim as you have written.
From Phedang, there are routes that directly go towards Thansing and is often used on the way back from Goechala, if you want to bypass Dzongri.

A 15 kg pack seems heavy. Were you carrying all your gear (including tent and sleeping bag?).
Does anyone have any recommendations / contact information for good porters?
Finally, do the porters on this trail use yaks or do they carry the load themselves?
Thanks!
