Darjeeling Trekking
Darjeeling internationally acclaimed as one of the best hill resorts is also a veritable paradise for trekkers and adventure seekers. The Himalayas in all their glory provide an imposing backdrop as trekkers wend their way through dense forests and picturesque landscapes punctuated with lush green valleys, meadows, tiny villages and hamlets. Darjeeling Trekking is an experience which no lover of nature should miss. It takes one to places where nature is yet in her primeval majesty.
All these make the Singalila trek a most popular and rewarding experience. The great Singalila range, which separates West Bengal from the Himalayan mountain range in the west. The trail covers Maneybhanjyang, Tonglu, Sandakphu and finally ends in Phalut. The adventure holiday in Darjeeling becomes livelier when the trekking trail reaches Gairibas; continuing towards Kalipokhri one has to encounter swamp leeches that inhabit between the Gairibas and Kalipokhri trail.
A perfect blend of nature and harmony, Darjeeling is undoubtedly a place. It brings one face to face with the sublime grandeur of the Himalayas. Along with the breathtaking view of Kanchenjunga and Everest, trekkers get an opportunity to catch a glimpse of awe-inspiring 8 thousanders like Mt. Makalu and Mt. Lhotse.
