Yak Safari is a safari with a difference. A Yak Safari is organized from Dzongri onwards by Sikkim Tourism or recognized Sikkim travel agencies on prior booking. A two-day yak safari can be done while trekking from Yuksam situated 5,800 feet above sea level to Dzongri at 13,800 feet. All along the route, one is amazed and spellbound by the spectacular mountain scenes.

Either take a yak or trek along the spine of the Singelila Range to the 4572 meter high Dui-la, the pass of the Devil. The route with no habitation, follows the ancient grazing trail of the yak herdsmen. It is the domain of yaks and their lonely herdsmen, lakes, glacial valleys, gurgling streams, cascades, chiselled snow peaks, meadows, forests, Rhododendrons, wildlife, birds, and breathtaking views of 6000 to 8000 mts high peaks of the Kunchenjunga, and the Mount Everest group. This is an experience unique to Sikkim.
