HYE,
Sandakhpu is a trekkers paradise. As weird as its name sounds it has beautiful scenic view.Four of the five highest peaks in the world,everest, Kanchendzonga, Lhotse and Makalu can be seen from its summit.From Sandakphu the best view of the mountain Kanchendzonga is possible, which is known as the sleeping Buddha or the sleeping Shiva.It is the highest peak in the state of West Bengal, India.Sandakphu is resplendent with the ethereal beauty of magnolias, rhododendrons, primulas and other sub-alpine flowers. It also contains more than 600 varieties of orchids.The temperature swings from -20 C (including wind chill factor) in winter to +15C in summer. Sandakphu gets snowfall in late December to early February. Ideal place for adventurous travellers and the untouched beauty of the location makes it one of the most magnificent places on earth.
To reach Sandhakhpu one can either take the two ways available.You either take you're car or opt for trekking.Well I would definitely opt for trekking.
The trek along the Singalila Ridge to Sandakphu and Phalut
is one of the most popular ones in the Eastern Himalayas due to the
grand vistas of the Kanchenjunga range and the Everest range which can
be seen from the ridge, and also for the seasonal wildflower blooms and
birding. Treks begin at Manebhanjan which is 24 km (1 hour approx. by
road) from Darjeeling.
There are various travel agents who will help you .While reaching sandhakhpu don't forget to indulge in the local delicacies.Usually the hotel managers also make arrangements for you're trekking experience
