Sikkim Yuksom - Dzongri Trek end of May

bertkoth · Apr 17th, 2007, 04:03

Hi there,

Planning to do the Yukson - Dzongri trek from 23 May to 1 June

1. How much money will I need to organise the trek ? we are four

2. what about the cooking stove while camping out during the trek ? I have a gas cooker - do I get camping gas in gangtok or yuksom ?

3. where / how do i best arrange guides ? locally in gangtok ? or shall I already get in touch with someone by email here from Europe ? any recommendations for guides etc ?

pls help

Bert

Hi Bert

If you want to start from Gangtok, you should probably organize things in advance. From Darjeeling it is easier because there are more agencies. I don't want to make advertisment for any of them here, but if you're interested let me know and I can send you email addresses.

However, end of May until August is probably the worst time for trekking. Monsoon, leeches, fog - there might be small windows with good weather, but it's not guaranteed. Rhododendrons might still be in bloom, but April would be better for that.
