The nearest airport is Bagdogra, in Western Bengal, and the nearest railway station is NJP, New Jalpaiguri. The most convenient is then to reach Gangtok, the capital of Sikkim state, by 4WD taxi. As most of the trekking agencies are located in Gangtok, this is the best place to organise and book your trek. | ||||

| Yak and Yeti Trekking Agency | ||||
As our experience with Yak and Yeti was great, we would recommend here this serious, well experienced and government accredited agency, located at Zero Point in Gangtok, capital of Sikkim. The founder and CEO Satish Bardewa runs this agency since 1991, and has a great knowledge about Sikkim, including the mountains and the Sikkimese culture. The environment and safety care are a priority for Yak'nYeti, as well as the understanding of the trekkers needs. Yak n Yeti proposes classic treks such as Goecha La Dzongri, Singalila or Green Lake, but also customized itineraries or expeditions, for a very competitive price with value based services. |
