3 stories from Sikkim & Northeast — treks, culture, seasons, and honest ground truth.
Goecha La — the Kanchenjunga window. The Goecha La pass trek gives the closest legal view of Kanchenjunga's south face; post-monsoon skies are the clearest of the year.
Gangtok — the cloud capital. Gangtok's mornings open onto Kanchenjunga; the Nathu La border road, monasteries and the ropeway above the valley.
Tawang — the monastery at the edge of India. Tawang's gompa is the largest in India; the Arunachal highlands, Sela Pass, and the eastern Himalaya's last road.
