Day 2: Trek from Yuksom base camp to Sachen camp

The Goechala trek begins with an after-breakfast trek from Yuksom. The trail winds through the Rathong River Valley after passing through the beautiful fields of Yuksom. Trek through dense forests where sunlight enters the area in sporadic bursts. There are some slick spots ahead. The "Tshushay Khola falls" are a series of small waterfalls that join the Prek River and are the trail's main attraction. Along the way, you'll notice some log huts. Get to your campsite, Sachen. It is located at an elevation of 7,200 feet, and below it flows River Prek, which can be heard gushing. Set up your camps and call it a night.

Day 3: Trek from Sachen to Tsokha camp (9700 feet) via Bakhim

The ascent from Sachen to Tsokha is steep. Cross the Prek River via a bridge; notice the Buddhist prayer flags on the bridge; they look lovely as they swing in the breeze. Ascend through a forest of Rhododendrons and Oaks after crossing this bridge. Trek through Bakhim to Tshoka, where malt is very popular ("Tumba") and can be found in cafes. Get amusing views of the entire Kangchenjunga range and Pandim from the Tshoka monastery. After establishing the camps, enjoy sumptuous food before retiring for the night.

Day 4: Trek from Tsokha camp to Dzongari camp (12980 feet) via Phedang

Wake up early, eat some breakfast, and begin your trek with a packed lunch. The trail from Tsokha to Dzongari is beautiful, the climb is steep, but if you trek in the spring, the blooming Rhododendrons will take your breath away. After passing through this section, you will arrive at Phedang, a large forest clearing with spectacular views of the high mountains. Follow the trail to the spectacular Dzongari meadow in the Kangchenjunga range. Standing here and watching the rising peaks of the Himalayas in every direction will satisfy your desire for unrivalled views. Set up your camp and call it a day.

Wake up late in the morning at 8 a.m., have a good breakfast around 10 a.m., and enjoy camp today is acclimatisation day in Dzongari, so go for a short hike.

Day 6: Trek from Dzongari to Thansing camp (12900 feet) via Kokcharang

Do not miss seeing the sun rise from Dzongari top because the changing colours of the peaks will have you staring at them; it is a one-kilometer trek. The summit provides 180-degree views of the Kangchenjunga and Singalila ranges. Thansing can be seen from the top of Dzongari. Descend to Kokcharang and then begin the ascent to Thansing. Cross the Prekchu River via a bridge and continue for 2 kilometres through a boulder zone to Thansing, which sits at an elevation of 12900 feet. Set up your camp, put on enough clothing to keep you warm, and retire for the night.

Day 7: Trek from Thansing to Lamuney camp

The trek from Thansing to Lamuney is relatively easy on a level trail, and it is the shortest day of the Goechala trek. In 3 hours, walk through the undulating meadows to the campsite. The trail to Samiti Lake, which is ahead of your campsite, is rocky and steep. Around this lake, you can see colourful birds and mountain goats. Because camping is prohibited here, return to Lamuney after you've had a good time. Retire for the night in Lamuney.

Day 8: Trek from Lamuney to Goechala summit (15100 feet) via Samiti Lake and descent to Thansing

Today is the most difficult and longest day of this journey. Begin early to allow enough time for ascending and descending. As you approach Samiti Lake, the steep ascent begins towards Goechala, which sits at an elevation of 15100 feet. Cross the steep climb to reach a narrow ridge; proceed with caution because it moves through mountain sides. The sunrise changing the colour of the snow-covered peaks is mesmerising.

Day 9: Trek from Thansing to Tsokha (9700 feet) via Phedang

The trek is mostly flat with some ascents and descents through the forest section. The hike is made more enjoyable by the sight of Mt. Pandim and the beautiful Rhododendrons along the way. Arrive in Phedang and spend some time relaxing in the lush surroundings. Descend towards Tsokha, which is 5 kilometres away from here. Pass through Flora and Fauna rich areas. Take as few breaks as possible on the way to Tsokha. Set up your tents and retire for the night.

Day 10: Trek from Tsokha to Yuksom (5700 feet) via Bakhim and Sachen

Follow the same path from Tshoka to Yuksom; the journey is short. Make your way through Bakhim and Sachen. Take a short break there before continuing your descent. Cross some ascents to get to Yuksom. We will stay in a hotel, eat delicious food, and sleep comfortably.
