I believe you are referring to Sandakphu, which is a popular trekking destination in the state of West Bengal, India. Sandakphu is famous for its scenic beauty, breathtaking views of the Himalayan mountain range, and being the highest peak in the state.

To plan a tour to Sandakphu, here are some important steps:

1. Research and Planning: Gather information about Sandakphu, including the best time to visit, weather conditions, trekking routes, permits required, and accommodation options. Decide on the duration of your tour and whether you will be trekking independently or with a trekking agency.

2. Trekking Route: Sandakphu can be reached through various trekking routes, with the most popular one starting from Manebhanjan. Consider factors such as difficulty level, distance, and scenic beauty when selecting a trekking route. It is advisable to consult experienced trekkers or local guides for the best route options.

3. Permits and Permissions: Check if any permits or permissions are required to enter the Sandakphu region. Obtain the necessary permits from the appropriate authorities in advance, if applicable.

4. Packing Essentials: Prepare a checklist of essential items to carry for the trek, including warm clothing, comfortable trekking shoes, rain gear, sleeping bag, trekking poles, first aid kit, and snacks. Pack light but ensure you have all the necessary gear for a safe and comfortable trek.

5. Accommodation: Sandakphu offers a range of accommodation options, including guesthouses, lodges, and campsites. Research and book your accommodation in advance, especially during peak seasons, to secure a place to stay.

6. Fitness and Acclimatization: It is important to be physically fit and gradually acclimatize to the high altitude before attempting the trek. Engage in regular exercise and practice hiking or trekking in the weeks leading up to your tour. Stay hydrated and take necessary precautions to prevent altitude sickness.

7. Safety and Guidance: If you are not an experienced trekker, consider hiring a local guide or joining a trekking group for safety and guidance. They can provide valuable insights, ensure your safety on the trail, and enhance your overall trekking experience.

8. Enjoy the Experience: Once you embark on your Sandakphu trek, take the time to soak in the beautiful landscapes, interact with locals, and enjoy the serenity of the Himalayas. Capture the memories through photographs and immerse yourself in the unique culture and natural beauty of the region.

Remember to respect the environment, follow local guidelines, and leave no trace behind to preserve the pristine beauty of Sandakphu for future visitors.

Please note that trekking can be physically demanding and carries inherent risks. It is important to assess your capabilities and consult with professionals before undertaking any trekking adventure.

Off beat tour,
Every once in a while, everyone deserves to go as far away as possible from the frantic city life and bask in the lap of nature. What better way to do that than to spend time in the beautiful Himalayas, where the serene atmosphere is disturbed only by the chirping of birds and the gurgling of rivulets. Here lovely homestays/ lodge you can sneak away to for your next uplifting vacation. Imagine waking up to the sight of the sun emerging from behind snow clad mountains, while a vast expanse of green hills glimmers incessantly in the foreground. This is exactly the kind of stunning view you get to experience every morning from rooms at The Birdcage. This beautiful establishment in palmazuwa, near the popular hill station of Darjeeling, is also a great getaway option for eco-conscio travellers. They’ve set up green initiatives land have their own organic kitchen garden.

🏔🏔🏔

Singalila National Park is a national park of India located on the Singalila Ridge at an altitude of more than 7000 feet above sea level, in the Darjeeling district of West Bengal. It is well known for the trekking route to Sandakphu that runs through it.

Singalila National Park
IUCN category II (national park)
Vast green meadows and hills in Singalila National Park.
Location-Darjeeling, West Bengal, India
Nearest city-Maneybhanjang
Coordinates-27°07′N 88°04′E
Area-78.6
Established-1986
Governing body-Government of India, Government of West Bengal

The park was declared a wildlife sanctuary in 1986, and was made an Indian national park in 1992. The region had long been used as the trekking route from Manebhanjang to Sandakphu (the highest peak of West Bengal) and Phalut.
The park has no significant history of human settlement. However, small settlements have grown up along the trekking route to Sandakphu and Phalut. There is a reasonably large village at Kala Pokhri, around the lake of the same name. The Singalila Ridge was used as an approach route by the first documented mountaineering team which unsuccessfully attempted to climb Kanchenjunga in 1905. The team was led by Jules Jacot-Guillarmod and the famous occultist Aleister Crowley.

___
Because of the park's range in altitude, it includes three separate biomes, ranging from subalpine to subtropical, and three corresponding ecoregions:

The Eastern Himalayan subalpine conifer forests ecoregion, of the temperate coniferous forests biome
Eastern Himalayan broadleaf forests ecoregion, of the temperate broadleaf and mixed forests biome
Himalayan subtropical pine forests ecoregion, of the subtropical coniferous forest biome
The subtropical biome roughly exists in the altitude range of 1800 to 3000 m, and the temperate biome exists in the altitude range of 3000 m to 4500 m.

Typical high altitude vegetation along the trek route from Sandakphu to Phalut

Thick bamboo, oak, magnolia and rhododendron forest between 2000 and 3600 m cover the Singalila Ridge. There are two seasons of wildflower bloom - one in spring (March and April) when the rhododendrons bloom, and another in the post-monsoon season (around October), when the lower forests bloom (Primula, Geranium, Saxifraga, Bistort, Senecio, Cotoneaster and numerous orchids). Sandakphu is known as the " due to the large concentration of Himalayan cobra lilies (Arisaema) which grow there.

The plant life has been surveyed in 2001.[1]


Mammals: The park has a number of small mammals including the red panda, leopard cat, barking deer, yellow-throated marten, wild boar, pangolin and pika. Larger mammals include the Himalayan black bear, leopard, clouded leopard, serow and takin. Tigers occasionally wander into the area, but do not have a large enough prey base to make residence in these forests feasible.

: The park is a birder's delight with over 120 species recorded including many rare and exotic species like the Himalayan Vulture, scarlet minivet, kalij pheasant, blood pheasant, satyr tragopan, brown and fulvous parrotbills, rufous-vented tit, and Old World babblers like the fire-tailed myzornis and the golden-breasted fulvetta. The park is also on the flyway of many migratory birds.

: The endangered Himalayan newt frequents the region and congregates around the lakes of Jore Pokhri and Sukhiapokhri and nearby lakes to reproduce. Jore Pokhri and Sukhiapokhri are within 20 km of the park boundary and are protected wildlife sanctuaries.



: Singalila National Park is well connected by road. But the roads are circular and the journey can feel like wave motion.
The road route from Siliguri
Siliguri > Sukna > Rangtong > Kurseong> Tung > Sonada> Ghoom> Maneybhanjang.

: The nearest railway station of is Ghoom Railway Station 31 km from Tonglu (entry point to the Singalila National Park).

: Singalila National Park is located 13 km from Bagdogra Airport in Bagdogra. That is the nearest airport, but by road it is less than 100 km and takes 3 to 4 hours.

For those planning a trek to Sandakphu this Puja & beyond :
I heard recently , now it is a rule that for every 8 Trekkers ,there has to be 1 guide. If any team has 10 members , then there will be 2 guides.
This has reference to a person ( team of 13 members & there was only one guide) got lost in wilderness lat year while trekking to Phalut .
He was rescued ultimately by a rescue squad of SSB after a period of 3 days of remaining missing.
Pl cross-check about the new rules on no of guides required before planning a trek.
