Fantastic film. Lovely local music also. I did the trek at roughly the same time two years before. Simply majestic.

[@shanchame]

Nice done!

[@RocktimDewan]

Wow wonderful moments. so beautifully captured! can you pls tell me bro how much the who trek will cost? and your journey plan? It ll be great help from you!

[@sriramiyer7949]

my entire journey plan was as follows : day 1 - mumbai to ravangla day 2 - ravangla sightseeing day 3 - maenam la trek day 4 - drive to gangtok day 5 - nathu la sightseeing and back to gangtok day 6 - gangtok to yuksom day 7 - yuksom to tshoka day 8 - tshoka to dzongri day 9 - dzongri to thansing day 10 - thansing to lamuney day 11 - lamuney to goechala to kokchurang day 12 - kokchurang to tshoka day 13 - tshoka to yuksom day 14 - yuksom to bagdogra to mumbai as for the cost it is variable bro.. it depends how you are planning the trek.. do u have sleeping bags, tent, etc with you ? if u have all the stuff and just looking for a guide and cook then cost will be less.. about 1000 - 1500 per person per day.. if u dont have these then cost may increase if u are planning to go in a small group.. also if you go with trekking agencies costs will be siginficantly lower since group size will be more.. i remember paying around 36000/- for 5 persons for 7 day goecha la trek..

[@sujaykulkarni8833]

Hi Sriram, Nope, I have not been over there before but now I want to do it, to experience the vastness of Himalayas. wat is d best time to do this trek ? Oct-Nov ? FYI I am not a pro trekker still a novice one ;) !!

[@sriramiyer7949]

sujay kulkarni Post monsoon , Oct-Nov is a really good time.. By november end views will be mostly clear but u need to manage the biting cold.. :) I am sure u can complete goecha la trek.. u need not be a pro.. goecha la trek falls under easy-moderate category

[@sujaykulkarni8833]

Sriram Iyer thanks a ton for d info :)

[@rajendradharmadhikari5672]

this is how many days trek?

[@sriramiyer7949]

6 nights 7 days for yuksom to yuksom :) we had planned night halts at tshoka, dzongri, thansing, lamuney, kokchurang, tshoka..

[@sriramiyer7949]

@ vikky mewada Sorry for late response.. Contact number for buddha singh - 09734921206 Buddha singh is more of a allrounder .. guide, cook, yakman, etc. and not a thoroughly professional guide.. He did not carry ice axes and tents during our trek.. You may need them in may.. If snow conditions are good he may take u guys all the way till goecha lake or else only till first view point as in our case since ice was hard beyond that .. he is a good guy though..

[@baldwintheleper]

where did you book your guide from? yuksom? or was it from elsewhere?

[@dhananjayrawat6872]

Brother, I really want to join you guys in all these beautiful trek. How do i contact you?
