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 trek was purely fun for the eleven days. Not even for a single moment, we felt dull! Amazing terrains, beautiful destinations and the unbelievable views of the Himalayas...simply above everything.

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.
