A shorter, more accessible version of the legendary Goechala Trek, ending at Dzongri viewpoint (3680m) instead of pushing to the pass. Perfect for trekkers who want Kanchenjunga views and rhododendron forests without the extreme altitude and 10-day commitment. Dzongri Top offers a stunning 360-degree panorama of Sikkim's highest peaks.
