Our 2010 Sikkim & Kanchenjunga Trek dates are October 15 – 31, 2010 From New Delhi, India
Overview: Situated on the border with Tibet, Sikkim was a small independent kingdom until recently. It is an extraordinary place to visit because of its natural beauty. One of the wonderful highlights about Sikkim is its deep untouched forests. This trek also offers amazing close-up views of the high Himalayan skyline.
This is a moderate-to-difficult trek with an optional climb to 16,200 feet along the way. We designate this as a moderate trek because, while it is short in length and there are no pass crossings, the hiking is strenuous. The greatest challenge is the fast elevation gain at the start of the trek. The uphill climb during the first few days can seem relentless but there is soon an inspiring reward for the hard work - some of the most spectacular mountain vistas in the entire Himalaya. Most people realize that it is worth the effort to ascend the heights! Ideally, trip participants should be in good physical condition with some previous hiking experience.
