A full 10 out of 10 for the Green Lake Trek in Sikkim. Over the 13 days of this enthralling trek, I and our entire group members were all so captivated by the beauty of the Himalayas of Sikkim. If you are planning for this one sooner or later, be sure to experience a lot of variations in the terrains. At places, they might appear easy and other places it might be a bit challenging to strenuous. In a nutshell, it was an amazingly awesome experience we all had.

All the 13 days of this Green Lake trek was so charming and memorable that I am again planning for it. The great views of the Kanchenjunga, Mt. Everest and other peaks were so refreshing and way better than other experiences I had so far. Would love to do it once again.

Sikkim is no doubt a beautiful and wonderful place to visit. But what dragged me to this state for the first time was the Green Lake Trek in Sikkim. Really, I missed the gorgeousness of this small yet beautiful trekking destination. Well no regrets, planning for another visit and also again a trek.

It was very nice feling to see green lake terk in sikkim.One of the best trek of North sikkim.The trek was very tiring but the experience was wonderful. It was a lifetime experience which we will never forget. The group was very co-operative, helping and full of energy. Talking about the lakes its very nice to see that kind of nature. The mountain views are fantastic with amphitheater of peaks with mount Kanchendzonga at the head of the valley.There are vast tracts of thick forest, with several varieties of rhododendrons, other colorful flowers,birds and many waterfalls on both sides of the trail. would like to visit again

This was my first ever trip in north east region of the country, Sikkim which I never expected hat it could have been so amazing so beautiful. I had visited the place with my wife, and the place was recommended by my family members. I am tankful to all of them really. Actually we were planing for Agra but for some reason that plan was canceled due to summer season, so we booked for Sikkim. Gongtok which the states capital is very adorable place , there are deep valleys, and the interesting part is that the valley is full of houses and people there are so nice and beautiful. Green Lake is a very famous tourist destination which was easily accessible. We stayed in a hotel and we were quite impressed by their service and food they had served. The entire trip was great. Would love to come again, actually we missed the nearby place Darjeeling.
