Sandakphu & Phalut

Where Everest & Kanchenjunga Share a Horizon
Ground notes

Why Sandakphu & Phalut?

At 3,636m Sandakphu is the highest point in West Bengal and one of the most extraordinary viewpoints in the eastern Himalaya. On a clear morning you can see four of the world's five highest peaks from a single ridge — Everest, Kanchenjunga, Lhotse and Makalu, all lined up in one frame. The Singalila ridge trek from Manebhanjan through Tumling, Kalipokhri and Sandakphu to Phalut is India's classic mid-altitude trek, open to anyone with reasonable fitness.

Insider tip

Do not shortcut by 4x4 — you miss the point. A slow 6-day trek on foot gives you four sunrise attempts. The mountain shows itself when it chooses.
