Yeti's Trek in Sikkim

This trekking route is largely unknown amongst trekkers in Sikkim as it is even amongst the locals used rarely. This trek is for all those who are looking for the extraordinary and who feel comfortable in remote wilderness. A wealth of plants with an abundance of exotic flowers, mighty rhododendron-trees and great variety of animals thrive in this area, making this trek an unforgettable nature-adventure.
Even Yeti, the legendary Himalayan ape still roams this area. In fall 2000 we came across huge apelike tracks in the snow when passing a pass. The locals identified the tracks as those of Yeti... In order to make sure that this area remains mostly untouched by humans we have limited the number of participants to 8. The 7-days trek required perfect health as well as good condition and readiness to given up comforts for the time of trekking. We sleep in simple Yak-sheds and twin-tents. An experienced trekking-team will accompany us and also carry our baggage. The trek is rounded up by an 8-day cultural tour whereby we visit Sikkim's most beautiful monasteries. The places Pemayangtse, Yoksum, Tashiding and Rumtek show us a life full of a variety of old and cultural traditions.
