Where can I get a guide for a Goechala trek?
Amidst the Himalayan ranges, Goechala is a mountain pass located around fifty kilometers from Gangtok in Sikkim. Standing in the Kanchenjunga National Park, the Goechala trek passes through lovely meadows and lush jungles. It is indeed a very well-known destination for trekkers and adventurists. At an altitude of 15100 ft above sea level, the steep terrain of the trek is often from moderate to challenging. Thus, the guide is always a must-have. In fact, as per forest department regulations, it is mandatory to have a guide along with you. The base point for this trek is Yuksam. At Yuksam, various travel agents and organizations set up trekking packages. Thus, finding a guide there is very easy. It is the most advised location to hire a guide. The guides are from the area and are very well-informed and will help you have a very smooth journey.
