Tashiding hike, gompa and stupas

Hike to nearby Tashiding village with a colourful gompa and stupa area.

Beware: Many irresistable flowers on the way!

Kecheopari lake and village

1 day trek from Yoksum to Kecheopari lake and village turned into a 3 nights stay, trapped in the rain.

Pelling, Yoksum and surroundings

With Yoksum as our base we explored the green foothills of West Sikkim. Pelling was to us a horrible tourist trap (we had exceptional troubles with the food), but the excursions were worth it.
