Today I finished off with my last batch of Goechela for this year. Every places I go it leaves a strong impression on me. When I started working as a trek leader two years back I always craved to lead a batch for this particular trek, but I had to wait for long. But when I got the chance it was worth it. The Himalayan views of this trek is unbeatable, specially the view of mighty Mt. kanchanjunga, something to cherish for lifetime. . . . #mountains #mountainlife #himalayas #himgeo #adventure #wilderness #wild #goechela #sikkim #incredibleindia #india #instagram #instatravel #kanchanjunga #view #trek #hike #sunrise #wanderlust #wanderer #passion #yourmountainguide
