Overview

    The Goecha La Trek, or as we call it, the mother of all treks at Backapckers United, is one of the longest and most satisfying journeys. It is solace personified into 70 km of snowy pathways, rhododendron forests, the Samiti lake and the best sunrise at Mt. Kanchenjunga!

Set out on a 10-day journey through the picturesque Goechala trek, which begins in Yuksom and unfolds an adventure straight out of a book.

Travel via Sachen, Tshoka, Bhakim, and Dzongri, each spot representing a new chapter in the grand tale of mountain magic. Amidst the flowing brooks and rhododendron forests, you'll get lost in an amazing, surreal trance.

The highlight of the trip, however, is in Dzongri, where the formidable Kanchenjunga towers over the terrain like a silent sentry, keeping the Himalayas' mysteries safe. Bask in the glory of one of the tallest peaks on Earth and witness its splendour.
