What is Goechala Trek difficulty?


Goechala is a mountain pass situated at a high altitude. The place offers surreal beauty to cherish, and the only way to visit goechala trek is through trekking.

There are no other means of conveyance except walking. The place has till date no electric supply as well. So you need to be physically fit to get to the top of the hill.

Situated in the foothills of magnificent Mt. Kanchenjunga, Goechala is a place located at an altitude of 4943 meters. At this high altitude, there is a lack of oxygen, and you might feel motion sickness; thus, you need to carry a medicine kit along with you for a safer side.

The walk is a steep straight walk, and you have to cover a distance of 92 kms on your way to the Goechala trek. 

As a leading trekking company in Sikkim, Glacier Trek and Adventure have ranked the Goechala trek as a moderate to difficult trek, and we suggest that beginners should not attempt this trek on their first go. 

Though the effort and tiredness are worth it because of the beautiful landscape and wild rhododendrons on the way, but you will get much exhausted because of its difficulty, and you will not enjoy the beauty of the place. Thus we suggest you to go for some easy treks before opting for this one.

There are quite a few things that you must necessarily carry on Goechala Trek, such as:

  • Trekking shoes
  • Trekking pole
  • Headlamp
  • Lip balm and cold cream
  • Enough clothes for cold temperature
  • medicines

These are mandatory along with the regular trekking items such as backpack, water bottle, sunglasses, flip flops, etc.

Visit this place to experience the panoramic view after passing through dense forests, wild rhododendrons meadows, hanging bridges, steep slopes, and snow-covered mountain views.
