Today is what you’ve trained for—a final push to Goechala Pass, at 4,940 meters, one of the best viewpoints of Kanchenjunga. It is an arduous route, with a long walk that takes you to the summit across glaciers and boulders.

Route: The Goechala trek is a very strenuous trek comprising a lot of steeper gradients and acclimatisation of high altitude.

Day 10: Tsokha∗ to Yuksom 14 km, 7-8 hours

Day 10: Hike back to Yuksom (the starting point of this trip) It’s a switchback, if not downward, angle, but your body will thank you, in more ways than one, when you come within striking distance of the trip.

A victory dinner following a successful trek and return to Yuksom.

Final Word: The Goechala trek is a challenging and yet fittingly rewarding trek. The trek has everything—lush forests, high-altitude meadows—all backed by views of the soaring Kanchenjunga.

Chadar Trek is unlike any other trek in India. You walk over the frozen Zanskar River in Ladakh, where temperatures drop to -30°C. Surrounded by towering cliffs of ice, trekkers must brave extreme cold, thin air, and a slippery path.

You’ll also visit Hemkund Sahib, a sacred Sikh pilgrimage site situated at 4,329 meters.

3. Roopkund Trek (Uttarakhand) — The Mystery Lake

Duration: 7–9 Days Best Time: May to June, September to October Difficulty: Moderate to Difficult

Roopkund Lake is famous for the hundreds of human skeletons found at its edge — dating back to the 9th century. The mystery of the lake, combined with an exciting trail through oak forests, alpine meadows (bugyals), and snowy slopes, makes this one of India’s most thrilling treks.

You’ll pass by Bedni Bugyal and Ali Bugyal — two of the most beautiful meadows in India.

4. Roopkund Trek (Himachal Pradesh) — The Best Cross-Over Trek

Duration: 5–6 Days Best Time: June to September Difficulty: Moderate

The Hampta Pass trek is perfect for beginners who want variety in terrain. Starting from the lush green Kullu Valley, the trail crosses into the stark desert landscape of Spiti. Along the way, you’ll walk through forests, grasslands, river crossings, and snowfields.

The contrast between the two valleys is stark and stunning — one moment you’re in dense woods, and the next you’re staring at barren mountains.

5. Sandakphu Trek (West Bengal) — Where You See Four of the Five Tallest Peaks

Duration: 6–7 Days Best Time: April to May, October to December Difficulty: Moderate

Sandakphu is often called the “Trekkers’ Wonderland” and for good reason. It is the highest point in West Bengal and offers views of four of the five tallest mountains in the world — Everest, Kangchenjunga, Lhotse, and Makalu — all in a single frame.

6. Goechala Trek (Sikkim) — Close-Up View of Kanchenjunga

Duration: 8–10 Days Best Time: April to June, September to November Difficulty: Moderate to Difficult

Goechala offers some of the best close-range views of the majestic Kanchenjunga, the third highest mountain in the world. The trail passes through dense forests, pristine glacial lakes, and wide meadows. The sunrise view from Dzongri or Goechala Viewpoint is unforgettable, as the first rays light up Kanchenjunga’s massive face.

It’s a spiritual and scenic journey rolled into one.

Tips for a Successful Trek

Choose Wisely: Pick a trek based on your fitness level, interest, and available time.

Train in Advance: Prepare with cardio, walking, and stair climbing before you go.

Pack Smart: Carry light, but don’t miss essentials like water bottles, thermal wear, and first-aid.

Respect Nature: Don’t litter, disturb wildlife, or damage plants. Be a responsible trekker.

Stay Hydrated and Acclimatized: Especially important for high-altitude treks to avoid AMS (Acute Mountain Sickness).

Conclusion: Walk the Path, Find Yourself

The best treks in India are not just about the peaks and valleys — they’re about the stories you create along the way. They teach patience, resilience, and the joy of living in the moment. Whether you’re walking over a frozen river or watching the sun rise behind a Himalayan giant, each trek brings you closer to nature — and yourself.

So lace up your boots, pick your trail, and let the mountains do the rest. The best version of you is waiting at the summit.

Top 10 Difficult Treks in the Indian Himalayas

Introduction

The trekking path in the Indian Himalayas is one of the more difficult and scenic routes that can be found on planet. From high altitude gains to freezing slopes, these treks test a person’s endurance but also let him/her live with nature’s true colours. Continuing from where we left off last week, this article outlines the ten hardest treks in the Indian Himalayas for those who want to adventure more than ordinary.

1. Chadar Trek (Zanskar Valley) It probably wouldn’t come as a surprise that the Chadar Trek is conducted over the frozen Zanskar River. This trek makes it possible for an exciting and tiring cross-country skiing where terrain is slippery ice with temperatures of -30 degrees Celsius. The dramatic snowy scenery, which is very well captured, plus the consideration of walking on a frozen river, makes the experience thrilling and hence very attractive to lovers of adventure.

2. Pin Parvati Pass Trek: This trek links the Parvati Valley in the district of Kullu with the Pin Valley in the district of Spiti; the trek features steep slopes that occurred over rocky terrain and crossings of rivers. The quite challenging Pin Parvati Pass is situated at an elevation of 5,319 meters, and it involves high stamina as well as mountaineering expertise to cross the pass to get sightseeing of the Himalayan ranges.

3. Auden’s Col Trek: Known by the name of John Bicknell Auden, who came across it, Auden’s Col is one of the least visited treks in the Indian Himalayas. It leaves one moving through mountains, glaciers, and steep, rugged ridges. The trek is between Jogin I (6465 m) and Gangotri III (6580 m) and is considered one of the most challenging treks in this region.

4. Kalindi Khal Trek: This one is for the serious trekker and entails crossing over on glaciers, steep climbs, and rough terrain. The track passes through the Kalindi Khal Pass at about 5,950 meters and moves from Gangotri to the Badrinath stage, where the trekkers can truly have the marvellous sight of the Garhwal Himalayas.

5. Kangchenjunga Base Camp Trek: One of the most complex treks is the Mount Kailash trek, which leads to the base camp of the third largest mountain in the world; high-altitude trekking, off-beaten tracks, and harsh weather conditions always characterise this trek. The trek has very beautiful scenery, especially the peak of Kangchenjunga, and it is a very strenuous trek since it involves a lot of altitude changes.

6. Goecha La Trek: Located in Sikkim, the Goecha La Trek is one of the beautiful treks that helps one witness the beauty of the great eastern Himalayas. The path leads to a melodious sight of Mt. Kanchenjunga through a strip of forests and meadows of high altitude. The last climb to Goecha La pass is steep and difficult, sometimes having snow during the winter months.

7. It is one more popular trek of Uttrakhand tucked in the Pithoragarh district near the East Base Camp of Nanda Devi. The trek to the base camp of Nanda Devi, the second highest mountain of India, is scenic and physically demanding at the same time. The route passes through areas that can otherwise only be described as hard to access and therefore makes the trek a true adventure for people who like to trek.

8. Panpatia Col Trek: This trek is one of the strenuous treks that goes through high altitudes connecting between Badrinath and Kedarnath. It involves crossing through glaciers, mountains, and slopes, and this is a difficult activity that needs the best trekking expertise and tools. The trek provides scenic spectacle of the mountain at the basin of the valley.

9. Trans Zanskar Expedition: Also known as the ‘GT’, this trek features several passes of the Zanskar region, deserted villages, as well as mediaeval monasteries. This is an exhausting hike that calls for tourism's utmost endurance as well as its psychological endurance.

10. Lamkhaga Pass Trek: Marking the border between Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand, passing through Kinnaur and Harshil, respectively, Lamkhaga Pass Trek is extremely technical, especially in terms of steep rise in gradients as well as snow traverse. The trek follows Lamkhaga Pass, situated at 5,282 metres, to make the joy of adventure here even more thrilling for the trekkers.

Conclusion As such, these are not just treks; rather, they are undertakings that challenge the fields of the body and, with regard to the mind, help in building awareness of the capabilities of nature. All these treks described here are different beautiful experiences for those lovers who are ready to prepare for it, respect nature and take a risk.
