Walk into the shadow of Kanchenjunga
₹50000.00
The Goechala Trek is not just a journey through the Himalayas, it’s a pilgrimage to one of the most breathtaking viewpoints in India. Standing face-to-face with Mt. Kanchenjunga, the world’s third-highest peak, is a moment that silences thoughts and sharpens perspective.
This trek takes you through rhododendron forests, alpine meadows, glacial valleys, and sacred lakes, slowly preparing your body and mind for the dramatic sunrise at Goechala View Point (4,600 m). Every day unfolds like a chapter, deliberate, demanding, and deeply rewarding.
Designed for trekkers who seek depth over speed, this experience blends adventure with reflection, effort with awe.
