Day 1: We took our train from Sealdah station and reached New Jalpaiguri station the next day.

Day 2: We booked a cab and reached our trailhead Yuksom.

Day 3: We started our hike to Sachen at around 9:30 a.m. This was the first day of the trek, and it was through a lush green forest. we had to cross 2 bridges.

Day 4: Our destination of the day was Tshoka. After crossing the 3rd bridge over the Prekchu river, our steep ascend began. we had our lunch at Bakhim, where there was a small tea shop. After reaching Tshoka, we visited the monastery there and relaxed the rest of the day.

Day 5: Dzongri was our destination, the steep climb continued that day also through the thick Rhododendron forest which continued for kilometers after kilometers. We had our lunch at Phedang and continued with our ascend, then our ascend got paused when we reached Deorali top. After taking a rest we moved on to our camp at Dzongri.

Day 6: we woke up at 5 a.m. to reach the Dzongri top, and it was one of the steepest climbs, with the trail almost being at an angle of 70 degrees. But after the climb, the panoramic view was worth every hard climb. After watching the sunrise, we returned to our camp, packed our bags, and started moving for our next destination which was Thansing.
