Kasturi Round Trek

Kasturi Labdang Trek

The Goechala Kasturi Trek is an alternative route to the regular Goechala trek, also known as the Kasturi Round Trek or Kasturi Orar Trek. This trail is considered one of the most picturesque and romantic trek routes in the Himalayas. It takes you through the Tshoka Rhododendron forests, the Dzongri and Thansing meadows, and the stunning blue waters of Samiti Lake and Lampokhari Lake. The trek begins at Yuksam and concludes at Tashiding village, passing through the renowned Dzongri and Goechala viewpoints, and diverging from the usual Goechala trails at Thanshing on the way back.

The challenging trail to Goechala adds to the romantic appeal of the trek. Majestic Himalayan, one of the best adventure tour operators in Siliguri-Darjeeling-Sikkim, with their expertise, will handle all your trek arrangements, ensuring a safe and enjoyable experience. This trek is less explored and suitable for trekkers who enjoy discovering less-travelled regions, embracing challenges, and spending more time in untouched nature.
