Trekking to the Green Lake is a challenging task, but it repays you in exotic experiences and rich memories. Summer is the best season to undertake this trek since the terrain is already difficult enough without adding the challenges of the winter snow to it. However, for those who really want that added level of challenge, the trek trail is also open during the winter months.

The days are spent in walking through some of the best sights of Sikkim; it is an intense immersive natural experience and being one with it is truly a blessing. Trekking the route is not easy- the altitude and the rugged terrain make it a challenge for the best of trekkers. You must visit for a Sikkim tour to get the best experience of trek.
