The southeast face of Mt. Kanchenjunga, the world's third highest mountain, is viewable from the pass, which is also a base camp for those aspiring to scale the mountain. This trek gets as close as possible to the mighty Kangchenjunga which is the third highest mountain in the world at an elevation of 8,586 m (28,169 ft) The Goechala trek starts at Yuksom, a fairly large settlement in West Sikkim. It was once the capital of Sikkim, so the culture in the town shows. It is also a nice quaint hill station and for those who want to avoid the hustle bustle of Darjeeling, Yuksom is a nice gateway. If you are on the Goechala trek there are two important things to do at Yuksom. One, make an entry at the police station. For this you need a photo identity proof with three photo copies. Two, you need to pay the permit fees at the forest check post. Tentative Itinerary (may vary): APR 13: (Reach Bagdogra/NPJ Railway station) before 2pm Day 1. Yuksam -1,780 m.
