This week-long journey to the northern part of Bengal presents one of the most visually powerful landscapes in the Eastern Himalayas through a classic Singalila trek experience. At 3,600 meters above sea level, Sandakphu inside Singalila National Park marks the highest point of Bengal and offers perhaps the most expansive mountain panorama in this region of Himalaya trekking.
The journey begins from Kurseong, known as the tea country of the lower Darjeeling hills. From here, the trail gradually ascends toward the Singalila ridge, forming a memorable Darjeeling trek across changing elevations and vegetation zones. Over the next several days, trekkers move through vibrant rhododendron valleys and forest corridors, where the great Himalayan range remains in constant view. The ridge walk along Singalila is widely regarded as one of the finest segments of trekking Sikkim and eastern Himalaya circuits, offering uninterrupted vistas and high-altitude serenity.
Throughout the trek, accommodation in local tea houses introduces warm Nepalese hospitality, reinforcing the cultural character of this Singalila trek. These stays provide a simple yet authentic mountain experience aligned with the spirit of meaningful Himalaya trekking.
The journey concludes in Darjeeling, where the final days are spent in the comfort of a resort while exploring the historic hill station known as the Queen of Hills. Combining ridge-top trekking, panoramic Himalayan views, rhododendron forests, and cultural immersion, this Darjeeling trek remains one of the most rewarding high-altitude experiences in northern Bengal.
