Never seen a trek video with such details, giving insights into the cultural aspects of sikkimese life. Well researched, wonderfully captured and well presented !
AMAZING, MAGNIFICENT, VERY SLOW PACED & DESCRIPTIVE WHICH MAKES THE VIDEO WORTH WATCHING. MY DREAM TREK IS GOECHALA. KANCHENJUNGA THE SLEEPING BUDDHA....
+tanusree chowdhury thankyou..thanks a lot. Its a wonderful dream.. i did not see the sleeping budda in this trek, but i saw it in a different trek called singalila round trek...
Kudos! Professional photography and well commentated. I may add that as an youngster of 24 years, in 1982, I too went on the trek from Gangtok to Dzongri la ( called then) with a bunch of friends. We carried our own cooking stove and provisions. No porters! Nowhere near as commercialized as it looks now en route! Still Pristine beauty . Thanks for flooding my memory once again with the beauty and majesty of nature.
This was done in December end...we were the last team. There were hurdles on route but we could do. You can ask dhanraj. He will be able to help with more information +919733196470
Great job George! However, your trek ended at the Sunrise point (also called Viewpoint 1) which is hardly at 4300mts! I believe it is misleading to mention that point as being at 5100mts! Even Viewpoint 2, which is another 2 hours from Viewpoint 1, is at 4800mts and the true Goecha pass (5000 mts) is another half an hour from there!
Actually there are several mistakes in this one...i am sorry. This was made long time ago..now i cannot edit it.. the new one which i have made is technically correct. Thank you
I guess you are from Bangladesh..from the flag.. I have been to Cox town and Chittagong once. cox town was a beautiful place... i walked a long way long the long beach...I wanted to reach till the tip... but it was actually about 60 kms though my mobile was wrongly showing me 6 kilometers.. it was a good experience.
Absolutely magical George, Brilliant work !!! This deserves more views. Just a small suggestion, adding altitude numbers to different places would have provided a greater understanding of the challenges :)
Goechala pass is also on the route to Kanchanjangha, but its a very difficult route to the summit. So most people choose to climp Kanchanjangha via nepal and there is a base camp on this route.. which is usually called the Kanchanjangha base camp.
George, It's 35 years since the event and I have lost a lot of photos while shifting my residence from Delhi to South. Still, I was able to lay my hands on a handful of undamaged ones. I can send you scans of these if U will provide me an email id. Are U with Keratoconus Foundation India?

✌🙌
how much was the cost for the hiking?
About 2500 to 5000 per day, depending the services you hire.
Is kanchanjangha base camp trek and goechela pass same or different
Goechala pass is also on the route to Kanchanjangha, but its a very difficult route to the summit. So most people choose to climp Kanchanjangha via nepal and there is a base camp on this route.. which is usually called the Kanchanjangha base camp.
In which month was the trek conducted??
+Abhisek Dey Best time to do the trek is April/May. Go directly to Yuksam, lot of trekking agencies are there. You will get best deals.
Yes
down side is the traffic of terrible 4x4 cars to the point you can hardly breath.. but yeah go there and ad to the mess
Ooops... Now the numbers may have increased a lot... When i went there was only i car to yuksam everyday ...this is long time ago...
Hey George, can you give a rough idea how much the treking costs after I arrive at Yuksam
+Sachin Kumar it can be between 10k to 30k based on the option you choose, food and th group size etc..
+George Thengummoottil say average 15k...
Its too good ... I wanted to know what was the month u went over Gochala?
