sikkim trek, first 2 weeks of november

isafromars · Sep 25th, 2004, 05:16

Hie,
I would like to do the Dzongri-GoechaLa trek the first of second week of november, I am not really sure about which sleeping bag, and have no idea if necessary to bring in a winter coat like skiing stuf, I will be 2 months and half around and don't want to carry too much with me, won't it be possible to find something around if necessary, is it ok with a good polar jacket and and very warm underwear and pull overs?
Which temperatures during the trek, at night an day?
Thanks in advance.

First fortnight of November in Sikkim : expected temps : above Yuksam

Day 24 deg C approx and night minus two deg C. Samiti Lake will be colder.

At the lower elevations, days will be warmer.

Thanks a lot; I see it won't be so cold that I thought...
I am really impatient to be there...

I would take not only the temperature but also the wind chill factor etc BEFORE doing a trek in an off season.

If you don't have any mountain (I mean Himalaya) experience then i will suggest you to ask around a bit more with the locals & those who have done it before, before you try it.
