(6811 M), Sinolchu (6888 M), Pandim (6691 M), Kabru (7338 M) and
Rathang (6087 M). The awe inspiring sight, instills a feeling
of standing in the very lap of Khangchendzonga, and gazing up
at its face.
Starting
from Yoksom, which is the cradle of Buddhism, in Sikkim, at an
altitude of 1780 mtrs; one has to climb steeply to Zongri at 4320
mtr , over a distance of 25 Kilometers. that takes 3 days, with
overnight halt; to allow for acclimatization.
The trek from Zongri to the base

uplands of the Praig Chuu Valley, with the great white peaks dominating
the skyline on either side. It takes 2 days to reach Gochela,
and another 02 days to return to Yoksom.

in tents, on the trek. On termination, you get a chance of visiting
Yoksom, and Pamayangtse and exploring the famous Buddhist Monastery.
