Sandakphu Trek, located in the Singalila Ridge of the Eastern Himalayas, is one of the most iconic trekking routes in West Bengal and India. Situated at an altitude of 11,930 ft, Sandakphu lies along the India–Nepal border, around 32 km from Manebhanjan, the base village near Darjeeling. The trek offers unmatched panoramic views of the world’s tallest peaks — Mount Everest, Kanchenjunga, Lhotse, and Makalu — famously known as the Sleeping Buddha formation. With well-marked trails passing through Singalila National Park, the route is rich in biodiversity, including red pandas, rhododendrons, magnolias, and pristine forests. The trek is easily accessible from New Jalpaiguri (NJP) and Bagdogra Airport, making it a top choice for trekkers seeking high-altitude adventure, scenic landscapes, and a rewarding Himalayan experience in West Bengal.
