TREKKING IN SIKKIM |
|
| |
Sikkim offers some of the most
rewarding trek routes leading you right upto the
base of Mt. Kanchenjunga. However to trek in Sikkim,
you have to book them through a recognized travel
agency who takes care of all your permits and
overall trekking arrangements.Your usual trek will
be supported by a team of Dzo’s (mixture of Yak &
cow) or ponies. Tents, food, baggage, cooks porters
and guides to accompany you throughout the trek.
This leaves you with just to carry a daypack with
water bottle, camera, your valuables and walking
part. Everyday, the camp will be set by the trekking
staff, and your fooding will be taken care by the
cooks . Trekking is for all age groups. One does not
have to be a professional climber to enjoy the
serenity and sublime beauty of the mountains.
Although almost corner of Sikkim is a trekker's
paradise, the most popular high altitude treks of
Sikkim are mentione below. |

Tashi View Point - Tinjure (Jandi
Dahra) Trek |
|
| |
This relatively easy trek can
comfortably be covered within a period of one day.
Tinjure lies on the highest point on
 the
Rumtek hill opposite Gangtok. One has to reach
Tashi-View Point first by vehicle and then walk a
few kilometers that takes less than an hour on the
road to Pangthang and Dikchu till the Log-hut of the
Animal Husbandry Department. From here the bridle
path begins skirting the Experimental farm of G.B.
Pant Institute at a moderate gradient and takes one
through the dense Fambonglho Forest Sanctuary to the
top in about two hours. The last stretch of half an
hour is rather steep and one has to dodge under
trees that have fallen across the path. A profusion
of cane plants appear and these form a leafy tunnel
over the track letting in hardly any sunlight. At
places where the bridle path breaks the ground is
soft and bouncy because of decaying vegetation that
has accumulated and compacted for ages. |

The trek ends at the highest
point in this area called Tinjure. Tinjure has a
three storey wooden Observation Tower
festooned with prayer flags on concrete stilts and
the view from here is just breathtaking. It
overlooks both Gangtok and the Tista valleys and on
the northeastern horizon towers the Kanchendzonga
range with specially Siniolchu in all its splendid
grandeur glittering against the blue sky. Gangtok
looks as though someone has strewn the hillside with
matchboxes of different colors. In the south the
omnipresent volcano shaped Tendong peak looms
against the backdrop of the Singelila range. Peeping
out from the forests of Tumlong the monastery of
Phodong looks like a small ladybird. On a clear day
even the plains of West Bengal can be seen. The walk
back to Tashi View Point takes less than three
hours. |

From Tinjure a further walk of
six hours takes one to Sang through the whole length
of the Fambong Iho Wildlife Sanctuary. |
