This nine-day trek
beginning and ending in
Darjeeling takes you along the famed "Singalila
range" to Sandakphu (12,000 ft) and
Phalut (11,800 ft). On the way you will pass through spectacular forests of silver fir,
rhododendrons, chestnuts, oaks, magnolias and hemlock. A
springtime trek reveals not only stunning views of the mountains
but whole hillsides covered with rhododendron and magnolia
flowers. A post monsoon trek reveals the mountains in crispier
glory when the rains have washed away the haze. The trail from
Sandakphu to Phulut is an exhilarating experience and one can see
four of the world's highest mountains: Everest, Makalu, Lhotse and
Kanchenjunga in one glance. |
