Never seen a trek video with such details, giving insights into the cultural aspects of sikkimese life. Well researched, wonderfully captured and well presented !

[@Moundain]

Thank you nair. Please watch the new documentary called Singalila in the Himalaya . Thank you

[@tanusreechowdhury389]

AMAZING, MAGNIFICENT, VERY SLOW PACED & DESCRIPTIVE WHICH MAKES THE VIDEO WORTH WATCHING. MY DREAM TREK IS GOECHALA. KANCHENJUNGA THE SLEEPING BUDDHA....

[@Moundain]

+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...

[@RamMohanABvideos]

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.

[@Moundain]

Thank you.. I was impressed by the book called Around Khangchenjunga.. which is a narrative of the travel in this area..

[@RajeevPareek]

you are legend

[@swagatda1644]

Nicely described video...and indeed this trek is a must in a lifetime. I had too enjoyed every bit. Wish to go someday again...

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 :)

Outstanding

[@Moundain]

Thank you. This is a very old one though... made in 2011

[@PrasenjitGhoshCse]

Very nice video.

[@Moundain]

Thank you

[@apoorvj1]

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!

[@sony7954]

Unfortunately VP2 is closed from 2017

[@Moundain]

You are right

[@Moundain]

We went to vp2 only the next time

[@Moundain]

Ok i was not aware of it.

[@Moundain]

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

[@hridoy_hasan]

Wow! really enjoyed your video!

[@Moundain]

Thanks a lot

[@Moundain]

Also watch Singalila in the himalaya, the new version of this film. Thank you

[@hridoy_hasan]

ya, i saw, really inspiring!

[@Moundain]

Thank you

[@Moundain]

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.

[@SandipTanu]

[@Moundain]

+sandip tanu mandal thankyou

[@SandipTanu]

[@Moundain]

[@pea-pu442]

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

[@Moundain]

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...

[@saadizahid2464]

Is kanchanjangha base camp trek and goechela pass same or different

[@Moundain]

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.

[@RamMohanABvideos]

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?

[@Moundain]

Sorry to hear that, my email id is [e-mail]. Thank you

[@ramabc11]

Hey George, can you give a rough idea how much the treking costs after I arrive at Yuksam

[@Moundain]

+Sachin Kumar it can be between 10k to 30k based on the option you choose, food and th group size etc..

[@abhisekdey2214]
