The trek goes from 6800' to 16500', passing from thick jungle type forest, rhododendron forest and conifers up to the glaciers and scree slopes of the alpine zone. The best views are in the mornings before the cloud comes up the valleys. The views of the south face of Kanchenjunga from the pass are awesome.
