Summer treks in Sikkim

One of the cleanest and prettiest regions in India, Sikkim boasts of a magnificent landscape and spectacular natural beauty. The top summer treks in Sikkim offer you vast lakes, hot springs, mountain peaks, and slow-moving glaciers to explore. During winter, the weather can get very harsh, but a summer trek in Sikkim is the best way to explore this land.

1. Goechala and Dzongri trek

This is undoubtedly the top summer trek in Sikkim, and will take you through lush forests of ancient oak and rhododendron trees, across fragrant alpine meadows with great open views, and to the hill station of Darjeeling. While on the Goechala trek trail, you’ll also see the world-famous Kanchenjunga Peak, and see village life at Tsokha, a Tibetan settlement.

The best season to visit Sikkim is March to mid-May, or in the Sep-Nov months. During summer, the flowers are in full bloom, and the trails are covered with crimson blossoms from the rhododendron trees. While the weather is cool, you’ll have pleasant sunny days to enjoy.
