Drive from Darjeeling to Chitrey (1Hr 2 0min) drive. From where it is a pleasant 7km walk on an undulating path and through stunted rhododendron forests passing meadows and meeting villagers with glimpses of Kanchenjunga all along the way to Tumling (2070m) which looks across to Darjeeling with views of Kanchenjunga.
It’s a pleasant walk with continuous views of Kanchenjunga as we walk along a wide rough jeep track past the village of Tumling to the Nepalese border at Jaubari. Kanchenjunga appears at almost every bend making this walk even more delightful. Descend to the village of Gairibas village after which we climb for about an hour to Kaiyakatta ( lunch stop) before continuing along the ridge on a gentle trail before the final short climb to climb to camp at Kalpokhari which scenically located by near a black ( kala) lake ( Pokhari) at 3100 meters. (5hrs.)
After a pleasant hour’s walk with good bird spotting potential till Bikaybhanjang (3346m), it is a further two hours and a steady pull up to Sandakphu. The jeep road winds up steeply and we take the shortcuts up this hill. The reward at the top is a remarkable panoramic view of Kangchenjunga, Makalu, Everest, Lhotse and the other, lesser peaks of Sikkim and eastern Nepal. From Sandakphu, there are remarkable sunset and sunrise views of Everest, Makalu, Chamlang and Kangchenjunga. If anything, the views from the Singalila Ridge are indeed the most special.
Say goodbye to the views of Kanchenjunga and the eastern Himalaya, as we descend for 5 hours – another beautiful day of walking through rich forests of Rhododendrons and Magnolias with great birdlife to Timburey. Here you can learn how to make momos.
After breakfast, it is a casual downhill to till Sirikhola, after you cross suspension bridge walk to till Sepi family run homestay. After refreshment drives back to Darjeeling.
