Serene and tranquil, the beauty of this landscape is unmatched
The popular Goecha La trek is any nature lover’s delight. Diverse Himalayan landscapes, dense and moist forests, fiery Rhododendrons, deep river gorges, vast alpine meadows, snowfields, and lakes are some of nature's gifts to this route. But, if we're lucky, we may even spot Himalayan Blue Sheep and Red Pandas along with rare wild orchids and birds on this adventure and come back home feeling blessed by the great Himalayan outdoors!
