The first, and easiest trek was a 6-day walk along the Singalila Ridge separating Nepal and India, reaching a height of 3600m. The trek through villages and forests, promised panoramic views of the Himalayan mountain chain from Mt Everest in Nepal to the peaks of Bhutan. Our second trek was the Goeche-La Trek, an 8-day walk in Sikkim, climbing up from thickly forested valleys, through rhodendron-covered slopes to the snow and glacial lakes high above the tree-line. It culminated at 4600m near Goeche-La, a pass looking up to the southern face of 8600m Kangchenjunga, third highest mountain in the world. |
