From Sekathum, our trek begins. We will be walking 5-6 hrs a day on average, gaining altitude of 500-700m per day. We will walk along the Ghunsa Khola, crossing over many bridges, through forests, and several waterfalls. We might spot the Red Panda on the way to Gyabla from Amjilosa if we are lucky enough. 

Passing through the wide range of flora and fauna of Phale will lead us to Ghunsa, the gateway to Kanchenjunga North Base Camp. Normally, trekkers stop at Ghunsa for acclimatization, but we have our acclimatization day at Khambachen.
