Wake up in the morning to experience a beautiful sunrise over the mountain. Morning view is simply amazing from here. You may wish to visit the old Khecheopalri monastery which is just a walking distance from your campsite and later we explore the legendary Khecheopalri lake and the newly built Tashi Choeling monastery. We return back to our place and start our trek for Bhanjyan, our stop for today. We initially walk down to cross a small mountain stream. The route becomes steep from here. After 30 mins of trek we reach a small village which is the last human settlement here. The path becomes steeper from here to reach our campsite Bhanjyang (2250). We can’t walk further as there is no camping spot before Bajredara. Our campsite is a little open area inside a dense forest. There is a viewpoint just 150 mtr walk from our campsite. One can see the sacred Nupdichenphug cave AKA Neydham. According to the legend Guru Padmasambhaba did meditation here during His visit to Sikkim. In the evening the lights of Pelling, Darjeeling, Ravangla, Namchi will allure you. O/n in a tent.

Wake up in the morning and enjoy the view from your campsite. After breakfast we start our trek to Bajredara (3450 M). The longest and toughest day of this entire trek route comes today. It will be 6 hrs of trek and all the time we will be walking uphill till we reach the top. Most of the time we will be walking under trees (Rhododendrons mostly). While trekking you could see the view of Khecheopalri lake which looks like a footprint. Just 15 mins before reaching the top vegetation changes and you can see dwarf bamboo (Local name Malindro). Bajredara requires no landmarks. The lightning struck dead trees and the majestic view of Mt. Kanchenjunga marks its location. It’s one of the few offbeat treks in the Sikkim Himalayas which give you an unparalleled view of Mt. Kanchenjunga at such a short duration. We explore the surroundings in the afternoon. The bird’s eye view of Khecheopalri lake is also a key attraction of this place. Evening will be cold and windy here. O/n in a tent.

Have you ever experienced the thrill of exploring an unexplored trail? Well today won’t be much in terms of view. But to feel the explorer soul inside you, this day will stay in your forever! First experience a magical sunrise right from your campsite. The golden hues of the Kanchenjunga is something you don’t see every day. After breakfast we start our exploration towards a route that’s never completed by any official trekkers. We go towards Kanchenjunga from the most dense region of Kanchenjunga National Park. We go with our packed lunch and trek till 1 O’clock. After that we return back to our campsite. This route is known for elusive Musk deer, Asiatic black bear, Barking deer sightings. We experience the sunset from our campsite. O/n in a tent.

After breakfast we start our trek from Bajredara. We take the same route to reach Upper Khecheopalri village. It will take around 8 hrs to finish the trek. Evening we celebrate the completion of the trek with a bonfire and local brew. O/n in Khecheopalri.

Wake up comfortably. After breakfast, drive back to Bagdogra airport or New Jalpaiguri railway station (7 hours). Upon arrival your trip comes to a smiling end.

Bajreydara trek is in the buffer area of Khangchendzonga National Park which is a UNESCO World Haritage site. The large animals are Asiatic black bear, Clouded Leopard. However, they are very less seen in the trek routes. No wildlife attack on trekkers have been recorded so far. But it’s not advisable to go for unguided walks in this area.

The level of difficulty for the Bajredara trek is MODERATE with the mixed sections of steep and gradual ascents and the trail passing through the alpine trees and forest covers. From Bhanjyang to Bajredara is the most difficult section as one has to trek uphill for six hours to reach the campsite. Please note that as it’s a high altitude trek, trekkers are expected to join with full mental and physical preparation.
