Itroduction|| In this short tour, you will reach Sandakphu in Singalila National Park, the highest point of Bengal at 3,600 metres, following a classic section of the Singalila trek that is widely regarded among the finest routes for trekking Sikkim. The trail unfolds along a scenic ridgeline, offering a continuous 360-degree panorama of the Greater Himalayan Range, where some of the world’s highest peaks, including Mt Everest and Mt Kanchenjunga, dominate the skyline, defining the essence of Himalaya trekking in eastern India.
This picturesque route combines high-altitude walking with gentle ascents, making it an accessible yet deeply rewarding Darjeeling trek for travellers seeking dramatic mountain views without an extended expedition. The experience is enriched by overnight stays and clear-sky viewpoints that highlight the scale and proximity of the Himalayan giants, echoing the spirit of more demanding routes such as the Kanchenjunga trek, while remaining suitable for a shorter itinerary.
The tour also includes time in Darjeeling before and after the hike, allowing travellers to ease into and unwind from the trekking experience while enjoying the cultural and landscape contrasts of the hill town. Together, the combination of ridge walking, panoramic vistas, and relaxed pacing creates a balanced Sikkim trekking journey centred on one of the region’s most iconic viewpoints.
