Dafeybir La

About this tour

Gigantic mountains all around, pristine high-altitude lakes, alpine meadows, deep forests, cute campsites, cozy homestays…all in one Trek! Dafeybir Trek is a highlight of everything Sikkim has to offer, cramped into a single, spectacular journey. Dafeybir Pass (4,530m) can be accessed via a few routes. The conventional route starts from Uttarey. One can access the trail via Nambu, Darap and Khechiperi too. We’ll take the route from the Darap-Yambong side. Our itinerary is designed in such a way that you’ll get to visit a maximum number of Lakes, have access to various vantage points throughout the trek and don’t need to return via the tiring trail to Yuksom. We also accommodated Bajradara in our itinerary so that you practically can tick off two treks in one go!

Max Altitude- 4004m / 13100 ft
