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.
