Trekking
Information
We are pleased to offer you treks in
remarkable Sikkim and the Eastern Himalayas. Some
people have the idea that trekking is a lot of sweat and
no fun, yet anything could be further from the truth.
Trek days are designed to be challenging, not
exhaustive; all you need to be is physically fit and
enjoy walking. Your trek is your holiday and Potala aims
to help you enjoy it as much as possible, not to wear
you into the ground. Potala’s staff will as much
as possible cater for your every wish, all you have to
do is ask your Groupleader and he or she will, when
able, organize it for you .
We are sure you will
enjoy your holiday with us in this land of the last great
adventure and you may check out the itineraries of the treks
we have on offer.
