Goechala Temperature and Weather in Monsoon (June to August)
Following summers, the months of June, July and August in Goecha La experience monsoons, with heavy rainfalls and landslides. Trekking in the region is usually avoided during monsoons due to the high risks of roadblocks and landslides owing to the south-west monsoon which make their way to Sikkim.
As a result, the trails become quite slippery and the mud becomes loose, which can prove to be risky and dangerous. Regardless, the mountains look their absolute best during the mornings, owing to the magical touch of the mist. Trekking in GoechaLa during the monsoon season is also difficult since the forests tend to become the breeding grounds for mosquitos and other insects like leeches.
Average Temperature During Monsoon:
The Goecha La temperature during the monsoon season varies between 15 to 22 degrees Celsius during the days and between 7 to -1 degrees Celsius during night-time.

Best Time to Do Goechala Trek
The best time to do the Goecha La trek is during the months of March to May. This 10-day strenuous trek takes you to the summit of the GoechaLa lake and peak. And it is from here where you can get a closer look at the mighty Kanchenjunga mountain range. Since Goecha La is located at an elevation of over 16,000 feet above the sea level, the climatic conditions here keep fluctuating.
When you decide to do the trek depends entirely upon the trekker. However, doing the Goecha La Trek in May, during the summer season, is one of the best times in the entire year. This is when the weather is pleasant and bearable for most people. Additionally, during this time, you can get to see some of the most beautiful views of the flora and fauna of the region, along with stunning views of the other peaks.
Even the months from September to November, during autumn, are considered to be quite good to do the Goecha La trek. During this season, the region experiences pleasant and clear weather, with the trails being less crowded and enjoyable. And if you are lucky enough, you can also catch views of the Kanchenjunga mountain range from the summit.
Different seasons offer different experiences for the trekkers. Regardless of the season, the Goecha La trek is a feast for the eyes, and offers the much-needed peace and tranquillity one needs. Doing the Goecha La trek in December, during the winters, is extremely difficult and risky, owing to the harsh climatic conditions and snowfall.
The same goes for trekkers doing the Goecha La trek in January, which is the continuation of the winters in the region.
