2000 the Sikkim government has opened up, for trekking, the restricted area, comprising the spine of the Singelila Ridge along the Sikkim-Nepal border. This has enabled the Singalila Traverse - a longer but more interesting approach to Gochala pass below Mt. Kangchenjunga. On this traverse the delight of Himalayan upland trekking are yours to enjoy, with the tantalizing challenge of the 5000 Meters high Gochala at the end. An added advantage is that the altitude gain is more gradual, and there is plenty of time to acclimatize. A trek to one of the last remaining prestine Himalayan wilderness.
