Sikkim is an amazing place – peaceful, serenity, deep history, colourful culture and amazing food.  With numerous Buddhist monasteries, beautiful waterfalls, friendly locals and of course – Khangchendzonga, it is easy to miss out that there are many other things to do in Sikkim. 

 

Here’s three suggestions –

Homestays

 

Get away from the rush of urban and city life by spending time in rural villages. 

 

The rooms may be basic and cannot be compared to hotels and resorts but they are comfortable with clean beds and toilets.  More importantly, visitors can bask in the hospitality and friendliness of their hosts.  Take the opportunity to interact with these friendly folks who will treat you as part of their family! If you are game for it, participate in farm work to get a sense of the contributions of rural folks to our dinner table.

Homestays in Sikkim is set against its peaceful nature and of course, the magnificent Khangchendzonga.  Slow down to watch yaks graze in the meadows and trees rustled by the mountain wind.  There will be walks to see the villagers at work or easy hikes to see flower sanctuaries, holy lakes, temples and monuments.

Trekking

 

Game for a trekking adventure of a lifetime? Join the famous Goecha La Trek for mesmerising views of the Khangchendzonga peak.  During this nine-day, 80 km (approximate) trek, trekkers will walk through the beautiful pristine Himalayan landscape.

 

Goecha La is a small locality located in the west of Sikkim.  With colourful and lush flora and fauna, the place offers visitors close and intimate look at nature at her best.  In addition to nature, the combination of various summits, together with Khangchendzonga, makes Goecha La Trek a delight for trekkers looking to enjoy a new route.

The best time to visit Goecha La is April to May and October to November where the sky will be clear, thus leading to beautiful sunrises and sunsets.  It will be relatively cold so bring along your winter gears!

 

If you can’t wait till then, April to May, with the onset of Spring and avoiding the summer rain, will be another ideal period where the mountain flowers will bloom.

 

At 4940m, Goecha Lak is waiting for you to gather with trekkers from all over the world!
