Trek Highlights
The
sky high peaks of the Kanchenjunga massif will fill you with awe and
inspiration. This area is also famous for its exotic and rare flora
and fauna. According to the famous British Explorer Freshfield, who
visited this area in the late 19th century, this is heaven for botanists
the world over. This trek also provides an opportunity to see some
of the most inaccessible monasteries of the world which lies in the
shadow of the mighty Kanchenjunga.
The original inhabitants of Sikkim were Lepchas, then came Bhotias
from Tibet, who were followed by the Nepalese who settled there in
large numbers and are now in a majority.
