With the aim to analyse how trekking and geotourism advances hand in hand, Goeche La trek route of Sikkim in Kanchenzongha National Park is selected for the present study. In order to understand the terrain realities, the application of the tools available in geoinformatics is made along with prolonged participant observation as trekkers in the field. Carrying capacity appears as a problem from increasing trekking activities particularly after the recognisition of the park as a world heritage site in the year 2016. This paper is an attempt to interprete the scope of diversification of its trekking activities from sustainability perspective.
