Goecha La (Sikkim) Trek

By Ashish

After spending a day in Gangtok, I proceeded to Yuksom, a small town about 150 km away from Gangtok which can be reached via Rwangla or Rangpo. This is the place from where the trek to Dzongri, Goecha La and to the base camp of Mt. Kanchenjunga begins. The way to Yuksom is absolutely gorgeous with marvelous mountain views with green/blue watered Rangit river flowing in the middle of this Himalayn Kingdom. I started of on 27th September for Yuksam via Rumtek and Rwangla. At Rumtek, we gave lift to a couple of people from Rwangla.

सफ़र सिक्किम का भाग 6 : फूलों की घाटी यूमथांग !

By Manish Kumar

चूंकि ये घाटी 12000 फीट की ऊँचाई पर स्थित है यहाँ गुरूडांगमार की तरह हरियाली की कोई कमी नहीं थी। कमी थी तो बस आसमान की उस नीली छत की जो सुबह में दिखने के बाद यहाँ पहुँचते ही गायब हो गई थी। पहाड़ों में बस यही दिक्कत है। अगर नीली छतरी का साथ ना हो तो प्रकृति का सारा नैसर्गिक सौंदर्य फीका पड़ जाता है।

सफ़र सिक्किम का भाग 4 : वो तेज़ हवा, बेहोशी और गुरुडांगमार झील…

By Manish Kumar

पर ये क्या बाहर प्रकृति का एक सेनापति तांडव मचा रहा था, सबके कदम बाहर पड़ते ही लड़खड़ा गये, बच्चे रोने लगे, कैमरे को गले में लटकाकर मैं दस्ताने और मफलर लाने दौड़ा । जी हाँ, ये कहर वो मदमस्त हवा बरसा रही थी जिसकी तीव्रता को 16000 फीट की ठंड, पैनी धार प्रदान कर रही थी । हवा का ये घमंड जायज भी था। दूर दूर तक उस पठारी समतल मैदान पर उसे चुनौती देने वाला कोई नहीं था, फिर वो अपने इस खुले साम्राज्य में भला क्यूँ ना इतराये । खैर जल्दी-जल्दी हम सब ने कुछ तसवीरें खिंचवायीं ।

Rabongla – A Peaceful Hideaway in A Himalayan Hamlet

By travelkoyela

As I drew the curtain of my room, I was gifted with a splendid view of the towering mountain ranges right from my bed.

Contemplation and Khangchendzonga

By Shoma Mittra

Khangchendzonga at 8586m is the third highest peak in the world. It is not a calm and serene mountain as it appears to be when viewed from Darjeeling or Sikkim. Both ice and rock avalanches of incredible dimensions are frequent occurences.Hurricanes of incredible force are one of the deadliest of Kanchenjunga’s weapons which plays havoc with any intruder who ventures “to walk the heights of gods.” This is an article which I wrote sometime ago but Kanchenjuga remains ageless.

Yuksom – a peaceful abode in the laps of Eastern Himalayas

By SRIYANKA CHATTERJEE

Yuksom is still regarded as the base camp of Kanchenjungha, although ascent from Sikkim side has stopped over a decade ago. The mountains are revered as God by localites and stepping foot on the sacred slopes amounts to desecration of the divine forces. Kanchenjungha is abode of the Gods. We came across camps of the Himalayan Mountaineering Institute. Their basic and advanced mountaineering courses are conducted at Rathong Glacier, the starting point of which also happens to be Yuksom.

नाथुला पास का यात्रा वृत्तांत

By Amit Kumar

ऐसी विषम परिस्थितियों में भी सीमा के प्रहरियों को मुस्तैदी से डंटा देख उन्हें सलाम करने का मन हुआ और हमारी खुशकिस्मती थी कि उनके प्रति आभार और सम्मान व्यक्त करने का अवसर भी मिला। हमारे जाँबाज़ सिपाही जान पे खेल के ना सिर्फ सीमा की सुरक्षा करते हैं, बल्कि हम जैसे यात्रियों की सुविधा का भी ख्याल रखते हैं।
