Sandakphu Trek

Entry : free

Address : Sandakphu Trekkers Hut, Sandakfu, Sandakhphu, West Bengal, India

Why to visit Sandakphu Trek

The best view is of Kanchendzonga, the highest mountain in the world. The peak can be reached by car or on foot. The hike begins in Manebhanjan and runs for 51 kilometres up the hill. Because of the profusion of Himalayan Cobra Lilies, Sandakphu is also known as the "mountain of toxic plants." Because this is a strenuous walk, you should only do it after establishing your total fitness. The journey to the peak is thrilling, going through a variety of landscapes ranging from difficult valleys to beautiful green plains studded with rhododendrons, magnolias, primulas, and brilliant wild flowers. With over 600 types of orchids, the location is a naturalist's dream.

Special Tip

Carry your own trekking gear and be prepared at all times.
