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.

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

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