The Indian state of
Sikkim is located in the Eastern Himalaya,
between Nepal and Bhutan, with Eastern Tibet to the
North. Kanchenjunga (8598m)
the world’s third highest mountain straddles Sikkims
border with Nepal. The approach to Kanchenjunga starts
from Yuksom (1770m), where the trail
climbs through dense semi-tropical forests, before
changing to rhododendron, pine, azalea, and giant oak.
Before reaching the high alpine landscape at Dzongri. Spectacular views of Kachenjunga, Pandim and
other peaks of the Singalila ridge, separating Sikkim
from Nepal are visible for nearly the entire trek.
On our return, we trek back to Yuksom and visit
Darjeeling, in the neighboring state of West Bengal. We
stay for two delightful and relaxing nights among the
tea gardens before the flight back to Delhi.
