As we planned to go to Varsay Rhododendron Sanctuary, we wanted to add more to it and finalized to do Phoktay Dara Trek too which is along the Varsay hill and could be done in one go or say start from Varsay and end up in Uttarey or vice-versa. So we choosed to start from Uttarey and reach Varsay. The trek is not very tough given the altitude which is only 3600 mtrs max. Chew Bhanjyang (Indo-Nepal Border) is on the way i.e. 4 hrs trek from Uttarey. We camped at Chew Bhanjyang for a night and on the nest day we moved to Kalijhar which is only about 3.5-4 hrs. Kalijhar became our base camp to summit Phoktay Dara and hence early in the next morning (04 am) we started our walk towards the top. About 45-50 minutes of walk, we were amazed by the scenic beauty which came before us....it was a lifetime experience to see such a sea of clouds over the high hills of West Sikkim and below the majestic Mt.Khangchendzonga and its adjacent peaks. THe view was amazing (no words to express) The panoramic view of the giants of Himalaya was right infront of us. Everest massiff on one side and Khangchendzonga massiff on the other....couldn't ask for more.... The days passed and we were finally at Varsay Trekkers Hut but still with the memories of that amazing view. Varsay Rhododendron sanctuary was not fully bloomed but was good enough to experience such different species of Rhododendrons together.... Overall magnificent plan executed....!!!

The place is really scenic and peaceful. Try to come in the afternoon when you can sit beside the lake for long time and enjoy the nature. The lake water is absolutely clean, the ripples in the water, the colourful prayer flags all add to the beauty of the place. To know more on my Khechiopalri experience visit ramblersnaps blog.

Small but beautiful and yet another sacred lake in Sikkim. It is believed that the lake is religiously connected with the consecration of the first king of Sikkim. Spent late afternoon or evening in the serene and peaceful surroundings of the lake and feel the peace of mind.

Very cute and beautiful little garden. Such pretty flowers and this river has so clear water. Its a nice little place to take great photos on the rocks on the river and the sun beating down. There are really cute flowers here. Perfect place to relax and take photos and spend time with your family. It will be a bit like going to the beach so be prepared to take off your shoes.

There is something about seeing a large volume of water falling over massive rocks from a great height that both mesmerises and creates awe. It demontrates both timelessness and power, and is quite hypnotic.
