Yambong - Singalila Trek [17 days]
 From the year 2000, the government of Sikkim has opned up for trekking the restricted areas compromising of the Singalila Ridge along the Sikkim-Nepal border. This has enabled the Singalila Traverse a longer but more intersiting approch to Goechala Pass below Mt. Khangchendzonga base camp. On the traverse the delights of Himalayan upland trekking are there to enjoy, with exciting challenge of 5000 mts highr Goechala at the end. An added advantage is that the altitude gain is more gradual and there is plenty of time to acclumatise. A trek to one of the last remaing pristine Himalayan wilderness. Best Season: April-June and October-November. Treking Grading: Strenuous. Maximum hiking altitude: Goechala Pass. Maximum camp altitude: Samiti Lake. Starting and Ending Point: Bagdogra/Phuentsoling in Bhutan or Bhadrapur airport in Nepal.
