About this experience
Dzongri is the high meadow on the trail from Yuksom towards Goecha La, and from Dzongri top at about 4,200 m the sunrise lights up Kanchenjunga, Kabru, Pandim and the Rathong peaks. It is the best short Himalayan trek in Sikkim.
The trail climbs through forest to Sachen and Tshoka, then up through rhododendrons to Dzongri. Our local team from Yuksom carries the camp and cooks, so you walk with a light daypack.
