DURATION : 10-Days
Sikkim is a land of monumental mountains that seem to touch the heavens. These mountains form a part of the long range - the mighty Himalayas. These towering Mountains define this paradise of nature. The Khangchendzonga, the third highest mountain in the world, majestically towers over all the mountains in its vicinity like a god surrounded by smaller deities. The Khangchendzonga, serene and tranquil in its presence like a saint in transcendental meditation, can be seen from almost any part of Sikkim. Yoksum and Zongri are two places in West Sikkim between which there is a proper well beaten trekking track in the form of a bridle path. The best time to venture on a trek on this route is March to mid May and September to November mid.

Yoksum was the first capital of Sikkim and it was here that the first Chogyal was consecrated by the three holy Lamas. The spot where this ceremony took place in 1642 can still be seen here. Overlooking Yoksum and about half an hours walk uphill is the Dubdi monastery one of the oldest in Sikkim. The walk to Zongri begins with the track skirting meadows and meandering past huts. After an hour of a flat track which is crossed by small foot or two wide streams whose waters seem to be in a hurry to meet the river below, the climb begins. A walk of another four hours on a path lined with sky embracing trees and carpeted with leaves falling from the surrounding vegetation takes you to Bakim which has a trekker's hut. A further one hour climb takes you to Bakim. You may opt to halt at Tsoka which too has a trekker's hut.
