Join us on one of the most colorful treks in Sikkim, set among blooming rhododendrons and grand panoramas of the Khangchendzonga range. This trek is an easy one, perfect for trekking newbies and nature lovers. We trek in the higher sections of the Barsey Rhododendron Sanctuary in west Sikkim, which is home to 13 different varieties of rhododendron species. Bird-lovers can spot many rare birds like the Black-breasted Parrotbill, Blood Pheasant and many varieties of flycatchers.
The slopes of the Sikkim Himalayas are peppered with the bright hues and warm fragrance of thousands of blooming rhododenrons. The flowering season also means an area rife in bird and insect species, and is a nature-lover's delight.
On this trek we pass through conifer forests and soft green meadows, set against flowing river, and enjoy magnificient views of the many snow-capped mountains of the Khangchendzonga range.
Spot many rare mountain birds | Photograph the many species of rhododendrons in bloom | Take-in panoramic views of the Khangchendzonga range | Walk through forests of oak and rhododendron

'We travelled to Joshimath, Valley of Flowers, Hemkund, Badrinath, Auli thr them. The destinations are extremely beautiful and must visit. However service of the tour operator was very average. The guide was not organised and cleanliness in the hotels were much wanting. Timeliness was also an area of improvement.'

this was our second trip with TGN and it is just getting better. We had a 12 day tour which included Kedarkantha trek, Mussorie,rishikesh and haridwar. the trip was very amazingly planned and there was not a single complaint from our side. all the hotels, trek planners, travelling staff and etc were best in their fields. My next trip will also be planned by them. THE GREAT NEXT= BEST ADVENTURE PLANNER IN INDIA.

'Great Next is very professional and also equally accommodative. We got an itinerary out of normal schedule being a five-member team. We trekked to Nag Tibba with two above the age of 55. The guides were very cooperative. While a couple of them were in front taking normal trekkers, one of them stayed with me and my wife who were very slow due to age. All in all, it is a great experience and worth the investment. I recommend Great Next for all, particularly for those, who are doing trekking first time. I also engaged their cab services for Hardwar and Rishikesh. The driver promptly picked us at station and at the end of tour dropped us at airport well in time. All the best to Great Next. Special thanks to Mr.Harshal for all arrangements, and also to Mr.Vijay and Mr. Bachan Rana for going out of their way in helping me and my family during the trekking period. Swamynathan'

Pathetic experience. They are broker they dont do anything . These guys just do the tie up with local treakking group who are responcible for all the activitites. They tie up with cheaper treakking group and they provide worst quality of food, worst tent, worst and dirty sleeping bags .

the service is good and the payment process is smooth. but they are just aggregators and you will be pooled to other service providers. I need to go on long treks to experience more about The Great Next services

'It all started when I found about this beautiful place named Valley Of Flowers and was so curious about visiting there, knowing August was the best month to visit; I started hunting or rather forcing people to join this nature journey with me. Finally we were a group of 3 girls who enrolled for the adventure, anxiously. Safety was the major concern all of us had in minds..But the moment we had started our journey with THE GREAT NEXT not even a single moment where we felt unsafe.. They made our trip more memorable as we did not have any concerns in our minds and were all set to explore. On the management part, I was in constant touch with one of their representative named Harshal, one of the most supportive, encouraging and understanding person I would have talked to. He had answers to all my queries may it be i bothered him on a Sunday night at 11. He managed everything seamlessly. They managed to arrange swiss tents for us which deserves a big thank you as all the tents were sold on those days being an extended weekend. The Great Next has affiliations with organizations who are masters in their field. The hospitality level they offered was incomparable. Even the trek leader was quite helpful and the one who kept us motivated till the last. Not a single moment of disappointment in the entire trip. They made our minds quite clear on which organization to choose when it comes to trekking or for that matter any outdoor activities. Thank you for a life time experience. And as the name signifies you guys are definitely the GREAT NEXT.'

'Honestly the experience was quite amazing and totally satisfied. Provided with premium quality of services and very responsive to the queries. It was my first time Manali trek with TGN and it was really a memorable experience for me. The quality of food, tents and all the amenities were quite satisfactory. Venkat, frankly speaking you're very responsive.. thank you Venkat for your support.. thank you TheGreatNext'

TGN has a very sophisticated and concise web page along with many optional details and information. This is one of the few sites that provides information about the operator. All the operators they recommend are safe, well-trained and reliable. They are easily accessible and offer reasonable deals. I've booked a trekking and river rafting trip with them already, and it was a very good experience. I'll always choose The Great Next to plan my adventure trips.

'The Great next is a great platform to discover, explore and book some of the best trails and treks nature has to offer! Although our trek group was managed by the amazing 'Renok adventures' , it was the great next that put us through to them. Thank you !'

Dress appropriately so as not to offend local sensibilities.
Use a single water bottle that you can refill from a safe source instead of several bottles of packaged drinking water.
Dispose off litter in designated places.
Carry back plastic waste, worn out batteries etc as much as possible to larger cities that have safer systems to manage such waste.
