We will start our trek for day 2 by driving from Gangtok to Lachen, it is a small town in the north of Sikkim and a popular point for people who want to stroll around Sikkim, the total distance covered by us would be somewhere around 135 km, the time taken by us to complete this drive is estimated to be around 5-6 hours. The journey for the day will take you to interesting places like Tashi View Point, Phodong Monastery, Kabi Longstok, Chungthang, with lunch at Mangan. We will be expected to reach our destination-Lachen by evening and stay there for the evening.

On our day 3 we will be driving from Lachen to Zema, a short 20 mins drive. The trek will be about 5-6 hours long and can have challenging terrains. After the drive, the wait will finally be over when we will trek from Zema to Talem. It will be a slow walk for us as we can expect rhododendron thickets and some boulders that will lead us to the Zemu river. Upon reaching Talem we can rest for the day and have lunch and acclimatize to the weather. For the rest of the day, we can stroll around and spend the night in our camps in nature’s lap.

The trek from Talem to Jakthang(10,826 ft) is of about 5 hours. The trek for day 4 will be fairly easy and can easily be covered in 5 hours, the journey will expose you to more than twenty different varieties of rhododendrons lost in the beauty of nature you will reach Jakthang in no time where we will be camping for the night before proceeding any further.

The height of Yabuk is of about 12,631 ft. Trekking will almost be the same as that if day 3, that is, 4-5 hours, we will see on our way to Yabuk, the Zemu Glacier. Starting the trek from Jakthang to Yabuk we will continue our way from rhododendron forests and streams. It is a beautiful trail that takes you to Zemu Glacier. Facing the ups and downs and exploring more and more natural beauty we will reach Yabuk. After getting freshened up we can stroll around the camping site. We will spend our night in Yabuk in our cosy camps.

On the sixth day, we will be trekking from Yabuk to Rest camp which is at a height of about 14,763 ft. The duration of the trek will be of about 5-6 hours. Buckle up people, on the sixth day, we will be undertaking a difficult trek containing rough rocks and boulders on our way to Rest camp. The High altitudes and weather conditions can make the trek challenging, the mesmerizing view of peaks like that of Mt Siniolchu and Simvo makes all the challenges worth it!! Upon reaching the Rest camp we will settle in our camps and call it a day.

The Green Lakes altitude as mentioned earlier is at 16,568 ft Green Lake trek will again be of around 5-6 hours.

After the breakfast today we will be heading to the most fascinating part of Green Lake Trek 2019 and our final destination, Green Lake. On gaining heights it can be expected that you might face some challenges and a few tricky terrains on your way. On your way to Green Lake, peaks like Mt Siniolchu, Simvo, Nepal peaks, and Kanchenjunga will make you so lost in their beauty that you will not feel fatigued by the trek at all. This is what we feel is one of the most beautiful things about trekking in Sikkim. We will stay overnight by the lake.

Day 8 will be a breather for you.
We will spend the day by rejuvenating your body from all the tiredness and capturing the beauty of the Green Lake Trek in Sikkim and the magic that nature beholds in itself. We can also spend the day by gaping at the majestic mountains and lush green meadows.

From this day we will begin our descent from Green Lake to Yabuk. The Green Lake Trek will be of around 5-6 hours the same amount of time taken while ascending earlier. Often people are able to come down in lesser time as compared to their time taken to climb up, but that completely differs from individual to individual.

On the 10th day we will Trek for about 4-5 hours and reach Jakthang from Yabuk, where we will stay overnight before continuing our journey.
