Many travellers like to cover the whole distance from Yuksom to Tshoka in a single day, but the idea is insane as at the end of the trip body loses all its stamina. So you wisely break it up to two parts. The first one is your destination for your day – Sachen located at (2250 meters) above the sea level. Located at the Total Distance of 8 kilometre and can take 4 hours to reach Sachen from Yuksom and is a great place for nature lovers and solitude seekers.
Another Day from Sachen to Tshoka is bid energizing as walking will be stiff up till Tshoka. Situated at 2900 meters above sea level. Tshoka offers government and private huts and stalls. View of Pandim and ranges are visible in the left of the Camping sites when the weather is clear.
Dzongri at an altitude of 3,900 meters is about 10 kilometres away from Tshoka and can take 6 hours. It is a complete ascend to the higher altitude and some can develop signs of altitude sickness as one mounts higher. Believed to be in the middle of Dzongri and Tshoka, you will come to Phedang on the route to Dzongri at an altitude of 3,500 meters. When the weather is favourable on the left side it offers the view of Singalila Range, and on the right side it offers the view of Mt Pandim, Mt Tenzing Khang, Mt Jophnu, and Oklathang Range etc.
Dzongri is a large cauldron, mostly meadows, surrounded in all directions by the mighty peaks of the Kanchenjunga range. Camp overnight at Dzongri. In every direction is a snow peak to be looked at and admired. In the morning after coffee or tea you can head up to Dzongri Top at 4:00 am to see the Sunrise and Breath-taking view of Mt, Khangchendzonga, Mt Pandim, and Mt Kabru north and South, Rathong Peak. After descending down have your breakfast and you can move your steps to Dzongrilla Pass at an altitude of 4,500 Meters. Which offers rear view of Rathong Peak, Frey Peak, and Kabru and so on.
Thangsing actually means a flatland and is at the distance of 9 kilometres from Dzongri at an altitude of 3930 meters. It can take five hours from Dzongri to reach the trekkers hut. Thangsing even though it is lower in altitude than Dzongri it is colder as moister laden wind keeps blowing inside the Thangsing Valley. Sometimes Wind turn harsh especially in the afternoon in Thangsing and Lamuney area. Great towering view of Mt. Pandim, Jophnu, and Tenzing Khang at the right side of the camp will awestruck your eyes.
