2. Sandakphu

The trekking route to Sandakphu, the highest peak in West Bengal, runs through the Singalila National Park. The southern entry point to the park is at the Forest Check Post at Manebhanjang, 51 km from Darjeeling. We have to pay the entry charges at the check post, which was about ₹100 per head per day in March 2020 when we went. Forest and trek guides can be hired from the town. The 32 km trek route from Manebhajang to Sandakphu (height about 11,930 feet above mean sea level) and Phalut (21 km from Sandakphu) can be done over 2 to 4 days depending on the route, weather and your capacity to trek, and an equal number of days for the return. We decided to do the Jeep Safari, with a bit of trekking. We had to hire a 4 wheel drive Mahindra Jeep or a 1960s vintage British make Land Rover, with an experienced driver from the Manebhanjang Land Rover Association. The Jeep can cover the 32 km uphill climb in 4 or 5 hours with tea stops on the way. Since the ascent is very steep and bumpy, from 7000 feet to almost 12000 feet, we decided to take a couple of night halts to acclimatise ourselves. Keep in mind that the road is very rocky and uneven, and not advisable for the very old and infirm. There are some lodges and trekker’s huts at small villages on the Indo-Nepal border, along the route. We passed the villages of Chitray, Meghma, Gairibas, Tonglu, Tumling, Kalipokhri, Bhikaybanjang and finally reached Sandakphu. The beautiful views of the forests of bamboo, pine and fir trees, with the blooming rhododendron flowers in March and April, and the grand views of the Himalayan peaks of the Kanchenjunga range, Lhotse, Makalu and Everest along the route more than made up for the inconveniences of a bumpy Jeep ride and the cold nights in the mountains. Spotting wild animals like snow leopard, red panda or black bears is a rarity but they do inhabit the Singalila National Park. Sighting birds like Khalij Pheasant, Wood Pigeons, Scarlet Minivets and Babblers was more common.

Darjeeling Riders, a motorcycle adventure travel and rental company formed to fill up the gap between moto adventure lovers and the availability of logistics / proper information in this part of India
Reviewed By amitb713
It was our first Bike Trip. The destination selected was Bhutan. Darjeeling riders really made the trip tension free. From the delivery of bikes to us in siliguri to the hotels in Bhutan everything was very smooth. The rental of bikes were also reasonable. Bike conditions were also good. Extra spare parts along with tool kits were also provided for emergency. The the most important thing the behaviour of Mr. Amit is very friendly. Really felt good to be associated with Darjeeling riders. I suggest everyone to take the services of Darjeeling riders and feel the difference by themselves. Thanks Darjeeling riders and the next trip to silk route is on the cards. Hopefully u guys will extend ur support in that trip also
