Sandakphu-Phalut Expedition: The "Sleeping Buddha" Awaits
5 Days | 4 Nights | Siliguri to Siliguri | All-Inclusive | ₹9,500 per person
Are you ready to walk above the clouds? Join us on a rare Himalayan adventure where the horizon is dominated by four of the world's five highest peaks—Everest, Lhotse, Makalu, and Kanchenjunga. This isn’t just a trek; it’s a pilgrimage to the roof of Bengal, designed for those who seek the extraordinary.
The Experience: Why This Trek?
Forget the crowded standard routes. We take you on the "Back Trek"—a unique, less-trodden path that starts in the pristine hamlet of Gorkhey and traverses through the untouched wilderness of the Singalila National Park.
Imagine waking up to the golden hues of the sun hitting the "Sleeping Buddha" massif. Imagine walking through forests of rhododendron and magnolia, breathing in air so crisp it reawakens your soul. From the rustic charm of homestays to the stark, windswept beauty of Phalut Top, every step of this journey is a story waiting to be told.
We handle the logistics—transport, permits, meals, and stays—so you can focus entirely on the mountains. Whether you are a seasoned trekker or a spirited beginner, this 5-day expedition is your gateway to the high Himalayas.
