Package Overview

‘Sandakphu’ referring to as the land of poisonous plant is located at the altitude of 11929fts/3636mts in the district of Darjeeling in the north-western direction alongside the border of Nepal. This area is also accompanied by the Singalila range and the national park there. The main reason for trekkers to visiting this place at least once in their lifetime from all around the globe is, the hill offering you the view of four out of five highest peaks in the world i.e. Mt. Everest, Kanchenjunga, Makalu and Lhotse stretching the Himalayan range with other peaks of Nepal, Sikkim, Tibet & Bhutan.
Sandakphu is further complimented with the varieties of flora and fauna. During the spring season which is very suitable and advisable for the commencement for trek, one can see the hill fully covered by different types of rhododendron, magnolia flowers and the orchids which in fact might reach to 600 different types. When one is passing through these hills a mild fragrance of these beautiful flowers will accompany along.
As Singalila National Park lies along the way of your trek rout therefore you can fortunately see the rare animals featuring red panda, pangolin and many species of birds.

The gateway to Sandakphu trek initiates from small town of Maneybhanjyang (7054fts) situated at the Indo-Nepal border. It is 26 kms away from Darjeeling, which can be covered by vehicles within 1 – 11/2 hrs.
