This nine day trek beginning and ending in Darjeeling takes you along the famed "Singalila range" to Sandakphu (12,000) and Phalut (11,800). On the way we pass through spectacular forests of silver fir, rhododendrons, chestnuts, oaks, magnolias and hemlock. A spring time 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 their crispier glory when the rains have washed away any hint of haze. The trail from Sandakphu to Phulut is an exhilarating experience allowing some splendid views Everest, Makalu, Lhotse and Kanchenjunga.
