Trekking in Sikkim

We are planning to go on the Yuksom-Dzongri-Goecha La
(Kanchenjunga)trek in October '99. Is it necessary to go
through a trekking agency in Gangtok, or can we trek
independantly? Does the 4 persons per visa rule still apply
and how easy is this to get without a travel agency? Due to
limited time in India we want to book a travel agency in
Gangtok from here in Australia. Any recommended agents?
Any help much appreciated.

   Thankyou Deshi for your contribution from the idiot
   community. Yes you still need to trek in a group of four
   through a Gangtok agency. Expect to pay around US$25 per
   day. It only took one day to organise it. Tashila Tours
   were pretty good (fax no 03592 22 155).
