Trekking in the Darjeeling
Hills began almost a century ago. Infact, the first organised trekking route in India was
established here along the Sangalila range. The trek begins in Darjeeling and proceeds
through Maneybhanjyang, Tonglu, Sandakphu and ends in Phalut. The alluring natural beauty
is replete with countless varieties of rhododendrons, magnolias, orchids and wild flowers.
The dense forests, the verdant meadows, the savage mass of Mt. Everest, the everlasting
beauty of Kanchenjunga, the rugged Lhotse or the mysterious Makalu - all in one sweeping
glance, present an experience that can never be equaled.
There are trekker huts under the
management of Darjeeling Gorkha Hill Council Tourism Department all along the route to
Sandakphu. For further information contact Tourist Bureau, Darjeeling.
