This trek begins at kolkata. Early morning tour to Tiger Hills (at
around 4 am) to view sunrise over Kanchenjunga Peak (subject to
clear weather). On the way back we will visit Ghoom Monastery, Batasia
Loop, and then drive to Pelling. From Pelling there is a glorious
view of the eastern part of the Kanchenjunga Massif. We will trek
through lush green meadows and cross four mountain streams. Henceforth,
the trek is a continuous uphill path lined with conifers and is
virtually carpeted with a bed of leaves to Leach Bakhim, a hill
village at an altitude of 2744 miters. The vegetation changes to
stunted bushes of rhododendrons and miniature pine trees resembling
bonsais as you gain altitude until we reach Dzongri, which is at
an altitude pf 4030 mtrs.
The mountain fortress has no settlements except for two trekker's
huts. The summit of Dzongri, at 4269 mtrs, is higher than most mountain
peaks in Europe. From here another spectacular view of Kanchenjunga
is presented, along with other ranges basking in the glory of the
rising sun. We return to the camp site and spend the day to rest.
We then continue walking downhill to Yuksom. We will also make a
visit to the Dubdi
