This is a long trekking day and you should expect to be pretty tired by the time
you arrive at Bakkhim.O/N in camps.

Day 05): Bakkhim -Phedang(04h 3760 m)
We begin today’s walk by trekking for about one hour up to the picturesque
village of Tshoka. Tshoka is home to a colony of Tibetan refugees who have
erected a small monastery by a small lake. A fairly steep climb above Tshoka
takes you into beautiful rhododendron forests, and you continue along a
well-defined uphill path to Phedang (approx. 2/3 hours from Tshoka). Today we
will be doing a shorter trail since we will be gaining much altitude.

Day 06): Phedang-Dzongri(03h- 4320 m)
Another short day’s walking today as we are now treading above the 4,000-meter
mark. We will be setting up camp by lunchtime and suggest that you spend a
relaxed afternoon acclimatizing. A brief climb beyond brings you to a meadow
where we can pitch our tents in a campsite with views of Koktang, Rathong, Kabru,
Khangchendzonga, Simvo and Pandim. As usual on trek the choice of campsite
depends on many variables, one of the most important is the close supply of
water.

Day 07): Dzongri (Acclimatization)
Today we will explore the area, with the chance to climb the small peaks near to
the campsite for tremendous views. This is particularly worthwhile in the early
morning and the evening. While you can rest if you wish, there will be a short
acclimatization walk around the local area to help prepare us for the next few
days.

Day 08): Dzongri -Thangshing - (06h - 3800 m)
Today we ascend gradually over open hillside for a mile or so to a low ridge
visible from the campsite (13,500 ft/4,115m). From here, chortens and prayer
flags overlooking fabulous views of Khangchendzonga and Pandim make ideal
photocompositions. You then descend, at first traversing down towards Pandim on
the far side of the valley, and then dropping steeply down on a good path
through rhododendron forest to the Prek Chu River at 12,300 ft/3,749 m. for
lunch (3 hours). There is a new trekking lodge here that the crew may use for
cooking. We cross the river and ascend gradually for one and-a-half-hour,
through pinewoods to reach a grassy campsite, beneath the shapely unclimbed peak
of Pandim. A new hut has been built here, which may be available for cooking and
even sleeping.

Day 09): Thangshing - Samiti Lake (03h- 4298 m)
Today’s walk is fairly short to give you plenty of opportunity to rest before
tomorrow’s big day. You begin by continuing your walk parallel to the Prek Chu
River. Sacred Samiti is a beautiful emerald green lake nestled in the midst of
brightly colored wind-torn prayer flags.

Day 10): Samiti Lake-Goecha La-Samiti lake (4984m)
An early start today to beat the inclement weather conditions that is common
during the latter part of the day. Set off in the early morning climbing the
hill behind the Lake before traversing the moraine and then descending to the
sandy bed of an empty lake. The whole area above Samiti Lake is called the
Zemathang Plateau. You cross this under the shadow of Pandim and then ascend
moraine to a height of about 15,700 feet where you rest above a glaciated lake
mottled with snow and icy pinnacles. The Goecha La Pass is another hour away. We
traverse the lake and proceed across a slope, and then on a well-trodden path to
our objective, which is festooned with brightly colored prayer flags. The views
of the east flank of Khangchendzonga and the mountains and valleys in the
distance are stunning. We then return to our campsite at Samiti Lake.

Day 11): Samti-Tshoka(08h - 3800 m)
It’s worth getting up early to take a short hike to the ridge behind the camp.
From here there are fantastic views of Khangchendzonga and one can look back up
to the Goecha La. Leaving Thangsing, you take a different route, avoiding the
long climb to the Dzongri Plateau. Descending to the Prek Chu, you contour
around jungle to emerge at Phedang. Continue to Tshoka along another steep
descent. Here there is a new trekking lodge we passed on our way up that we
shall hopefully use this time. This, of course, saves a day on the return march,
but does involve quite a long day.

Day 12): Tshoka-Yuksam (06h)
Today you descend to the Prek Chu following the route you took up on the first
day, and then contour gradually downwards to reach the village of Yuksam our
starting point.

Day 13): Yuksam-Bagdogra-Delhi:
morning drive to Bagdogra time to catch flight for delhi, On arrival met at the
airport and transfer to the hotel. O/N stay at hotel.
