Overview

The Rhododendron Trek in Sikkim takes you through the traditional culture of the Sikkimese, en route the Kagyud Monastery and Sherpa village. While embracing the sweet melodies of nature… of the humming of bees and chirping of birds, the trail heads up to Danra Barkhey via Phoktey Danra from Kalijhar. From Danra Barkhey one can enjoy the binocular view of the Mt. Everest, Mt. Makalu, Mt. Nuptse, Mt. Lutsey, Dhaulagire range and Mt. Kanchenjunga. Passing through the dense Rhododendron forest, the trail veers to Deoningali Dhap and then the tracks gently descends to Varsey, which is popular for exhibiting a vast bed of rhododendrons beneath the grace of Mt. Kanchenjunga. It is rich in Bio-diversity with different species of flora and fauna. The place is a home to Wild Boar, Blood Pheasant, and Deer etc. Nonetheless, the breathtaking ambiance also allows you to set up an overnight camp and experience the exotic mood under the starlit sky. The trail down, from Varsey, leads the tracks back to Uttarey. Well… this trek is also known as the Varsey Trek, which is a popular trek in Sikkim.
