INTRODUCTION:
The Himalayan mountain ranges in the north of West Bengal provide breathtaking views and, first and foremost, one of the most traditional adventure treks. As you move from one ridge to another on a constrained track, you come to Darjeeling Singalila Ridge in the middle of Eden. The landscape is unique and offers a charming experience due to the continuous view of all-encompassing snow-capped mountains, including Mount Everest and the Kanchenjunga family.you can also visit Dayara Bugyal Trek.
You can walk and ponder simultaneously if you enjoy having untidy hair, unwashed feet, and cold water falling on your skin. Trekking is the most inspiring activity for those who love the outdoors since the trekking locations let you see nature in its purest form. The intriguing part of this trek is that it requires twelve border crossings between Nepal and India to get to the summit, Sandakphu. Regardless of where they come from, the locals show their visitors the same love and affection.
Optimal Time To Visit:
The best time to trek is any time of year, excluding the monsoon. The greatest time to see rhododendron blooms is between March and April, when they give the valley life by tinting it blush. Singalila Ridge National Park is closed from June to September.
A better perspective is available from Sandakphu and Phalut between September and November if you’re seeking for clear mountain scenery and spectacular dawn views. Early snowfall is possible in November, and if you’re lucky, you might even see a slick red panda!
How to Get There
NJP railroad station and Bagdogra airport are the closest. To take the shared taxi to Ghoom or Sukhia Pokhari, you must first travel to Darjeeling More. Both have a fair amount of ties to Mane Bhanjang. The last town where you can access an ATM and a pharmacy is Mane Bhanjang. For Sandakphu, there are no shared taxis available; you must either hire a taxi or hike.
