Kokchurang Village, which is next to the roaring Prek Chu in West Sikkim, unfolds like a lost Himalayan village and is one of the best things to do in Sikkim. It has a single wooden tea hut and skeletal benches where trekkers can rest in the misty chestnut woods. The air smells sweet and mossy, and you can hear the sound of a river in the distance and the calls of birds from time to time. Rhododendron and oak thickets surround the trail.

People say it feels eerily quiet, and some even say it's haunted, with trekkers reporting a feeling of unseen presences and hearing strange sounds at night. Yet, that very silence holds a quiet beauty, sunlight filters through the trees in daytime, and snow gently blankets the ground during winter.

Kokchurang is a nice break on the Goecha La trek; it's halfway through, and its simplicity is welcome for tired legs. You can drink hot chai, think about the next big climb to Thansing or Lamuney, and get back in touch with the wild Himalayas.

Kokchurang feels like stepping into a timeless, uncharted part of Sikkim, whether you stay to learn about its creepy legends or just enjoy the peace of the mountains.

11 days spent in the Goeacha La trek was the best phase of my life. Was planning for a Himalayan experience since long, but was not able to and finally got the opportunity last year December. From the very first day to the last day, the experience and feel was just awesome for me. Group members and the trek crew members were really friendly and helped me in several places. The heights gained, terrains hiked, forests walked through and the views enjoyed were truly magical and memorable. Thanks a lot guys.

Seriously, if you want to explore the hills and mountains of the North-East, this trek is the best of all. Heard a lot about the beauty of this region but was never been there before this trek. And trust me, the high passes, awesome views of the Himalayan range and the challenges during the trek are the best part of the trek.

This was an expedition we went for when me and a few of my friends were visiting Sikkim. This trek not only taught us about ourselves but also brought all of us a lot closer together. I highly recommend to go for this trek if you are on a holiday with friends. But one needs to consult a physician before going on this trek since it can get challenging after a point of time.

Amazing experience. The entire region is so calm and composed that you don't even feel like listening to music while trekking. I loved waking up early as the mornings were the best part of the trek. I must say it was tricky but if you get such enormous amount of beauty than any effort is worth taking for.
