Gorkhey Trek

Located in the Darjeeling District, Gorkhey is a small and picturesque village in West Bengal. Set in a valley between Sikkim and Darjeeling, this village is a stopover for one of the most popular trekking routes in Darjeeling. This is one of the best Darjeeling trekking for those who are seeking a cultural experience in the Northeast of the country.

A trek to the village and a short homestay experience here is one of the most detoxing and peaceful experiences for city dwellers. Live like a local and learn about their lifestyle. The slow pace of life, the tranquil surroundings, the lush greenery and the huge mountains surrounding you create the perfect environment for a true unwinding.

Gorkhey, a little village in the valleys of the Himalayas, snuggled between the borders of Darjeeling and Sikkim, is yet to be on the tourist radar. If you have a love for remote places and barren panoramas then you are in for finding the elixir!
This snug little village is uspoilt and untouched by the fast-paced urban frenzy, so much so that electricity has not yet reached the place, except for a few homestays which have the facility of power inverters and generators. With scenic cliff-top huts flanked by stretches of rhododendrons and 'laali guras', Gorkhey has nearly thirty families dwelling in the village, dependent on the farm produce.

The place is inaccessible by vehicles as there are no motorable roads to the village, leaving out trekking as the only option to get there. This getaway promises you with one of the most picturesque and scenic trail routes in the eastern Himalayas, with the view of four of the five highest peaks of the world including the majestic Mt. Everest, Makalu, Kanchenjunga, and Lhotse, along with the Three Sisters and many other peaks of Nepal, Sikkim, Tibet and Bhutan in one single stretch of snow.
