Goecha La is listed as most romantic elevated altitude trekking location in the Himalayas. Now when talk about the trekking at any particular place then we should know the dissimilar features of the location. This is must, because if you are not aware of the place then you might face the difficulties in unknown spot. Sikkim is the complete different spot then other states of India. The finest part of Sikkim is the state is full of greenery, natural scenery and amazing valleys. 



​The procedure I follow to find the best tourist place for my visit is searching the images of particular place. I was searching the location today and found that Goecha La Pass is missed by me. Nearly 400 places are described on my site, but I missed to search and discover this La Pass. When I saw the images of this place through different sources it was big surprise for me. Goecha La Pass is the best romantic trekking trail where a person must visit in his life, at least once. However, there are limited spots to visit in Goecha La Pass, but each attraction point is best then world.
