Today, after breakfast, we proceed towards Gomathang, the grazing place of Yaks. The route all the way downhill, our campsite is located in a beautiful meadow covered with green rhododendrons and pine trees forest near the small river side. Today, after arriving at the Gomathang campsite, you will enjoy yourself with Yak. At night, after dinner, you will share your experience with an herder.

This day, we must climb through forests of sweet-smelling silver fir and rhododendrons. Soon, we are in high mountain terrain again. The route goes up and down over the hills, culminating with a stiff ascent as we near Pangding. Pangding offers a view of almost all of this trek significant peaks and ranges.

Today, after breakfast, trekkers must first descend to the Tigap Chu River (3,700m) and then ascend up to Dzongri after crossing the river. As Tigap chu is lower in altitude, big pine trees and rhododendron bushes become visible, and large rocks dominate the area. It offers a nice area to rest after a refreshment climb begins to Dzongri, a campsite at the junction of several trekking trails in the region.

This day you ascend a little from the Dzongri campsite and then walk through meadows with gentle up and down slopes till you arrive at the steep descent to the Kokchurang campsite by the Prek chu. The descent is challenging for almost everyone and can take around an hour. Kokchurang campsite is nestled in a dense forest by the riverside and is a perfect spot to rest for a while. We do not set up camp here on our way up. After some rest, we proceed to Thangsing, our camp for the night, through some more beautiful forest. On a clear day, the Thangsing campsite gives you a welcome gift of outstanding views of Mt. Pandim right upon arrival in the beauty of the sights before you and surrender to nature splendour. Thangsing is a wide-open field, and you will often find trekkers or local staff playing cricket, football, or volleyball. Join in for some fun and to test your lungs!

It is the most straightforward day of the trek. A very gradual gain from Thangsing will take you to Lamuney in 1.5 hours. Start late by 10 am, and you will still reach Lamuney by 11:30 am. Relax at camp. You will be weak up early and leave for View Point 1 around 2:30 am.

The day starts early at 2:30 am. It will be biting cold at this hour, and one must be prepared for it. Typically, the temperature will be below zero at the start. Start slowly and cross the Samiti Lake in the dark on your way up to the viewpoint. The start is timed to take you to the viewpoint around first light, and before sunrise for, as beautiful as first light looks on the peaks, the sunrise is pure magic. Peaks light up in the descending order of altitude, with Kanchenjunga first to be lit, followed by kabru north, and then the lower peaks in order. The route used to be open right up to the Goecha la earlier.
However, the National Park authorities have now closed the route beyond viewpoint one as the zone beyond it has been identified as having a significant concentration of blue sheep and snow leopards. This area is a breeding zone for these species as well. It has been demarcated as a conservation zone to reduce human interference. Carry a pair of binoculars with you to give yourself a chance of spotting a rare leopard or a flock of blue sheep. Leopard sightings are very rare as they are extremely shy, and if you see one, count yourself very, very lucky! Descend to Samiti Lake on your way back to the camp. Around 8 am, when you are likely to be back at Samiti, the water is usually very still, and a complete reflection of the peaks around it is visible. Several birds will be out by now, and the area around the lake is an excellent place for photography aficionados. Come back to camp at Lamuney, have an early lunch and move down to Kokchurang campsite next to the river for the night. It is warmer here and of course very beautiful.

The walk from Kokchurang to Phedang is through a very dense forest, and no pack animals can do this trail due to the narrow nature and dense vegetation on the trail. For several hours, you will walk through forests that might remind you of some of the forests in the Indian Western Ghats during monsoons. This part of the trail typically takes about 4-5 hours. we will provide you with a packed lunch From Phedang, turn left and down towards Tsokha. It is a continuous descent up to Tsokha and takes up 2 hours.

Descend all the way to the suspension bridge over Prek Chu below Bakhim. It can take anywhere between 1.5 to 2.5 hours. From the bridge there is a climb for about 20mins after which the trail takes you over gentle ups and downs while constantly losing altitude towards yuksom. Expect yourself to reach at Yuksom in between 5-7 hours. You will have packed lunch on this day as well, and Sachen is a good point to take a break. As you near Yuksom, mobile networks will become active again. Reach the road head, and you will be standing at the end of the trek. A cosy bed and hot water will be waiting for you at your hotel/homestay.

After having breakfast, we depart to NJP or Bagdogra Airport, depending on the trekker’s mode of transportation to their respective homes. It is advisable to start early since it is a long drive. We suggest to pack the luggage in advance before starting to your journey. The distance from NJP/ Bagdogra airport is 155 kilometres which ideally should not take more than 7 to 8 hours.
