Trek Through Kanchenjunga National Park To Goechala  
It is famously known as the “Queen of the Hills” and is one of the most beautiful hill stations of India. The cool climate of Darjeeling provides a delightfully different experience from most other parts of India. In 1835, Darjeeling was given to the East India Company by the King of Sikkim. The real fun in coming to Darjeeling is on the toy train. It takes six to seven hours to cover a distance of 82 kms and the slow speed gives you enough time to watch and appreciate the beauty which nature has provided it. This train passes through the Forests, waterfalls, over deep valleys and through the mountains and tunnels. Darjeeling has plenty of tourist spots in and around the city. Tiger hill is the highest point in the area which provides the most exotic view of the Kanchenjunga peaks. The city is centered around the Mall which has a variety of shops, restaurants and hotels. Beautiful walk ways start from the Mall.

The initial walk is a gradual climb alongside a milky stream. Breaking into steeper slopes at a lone yak herder's hut. You are now walking at a lateral moraine of a gigantic glacier. The trail again crosses high grasslands and picks its way through lichen-covered boulders, the mountains closing in both sides as the valley narrows. Protected away from the ice-chilled winds, the small oasis seems far from all the demands you left at home. Yuksum
