Join me on a trek to Dzongri – Goechala..

After some quick discussions with a friend who wanted to go trekking somewhere in the Himalayas this December, we made a decision to head to Sikkim and trek to Goecha-la, a high pass in Kanchenjunga National Park.

I have trekked to Goechala via Dzongri earlier in summer(See trip report), but I was keen to go back there again to do some serious photography of landscapes deep in the Himalayas. We are starting the trek on 13th and we can take a few more people along. Here is an open invitation to join me on the trek.

It will be an 8-day trek and this being December, the weather is likely to be cold. But I am hoping that the winter mornings and evenings can be so spectacular that the trouble will be worth it. If you are interested in joining, see my earlier trip report to know more details. The trek starts from Yuksom Village, where we need to arrive a day earlier to get the permits made. You can contact me here or email me at arunchs -a-t- yahoo -d-o-t- com for more details.

Below are some images from the trek.
