Trekking:
Trekking in the Darjeeling Hills began almost a century ago. Infact, the first
organised trekking route in India was established here along the Sangalila
range. The trek begins in Darjeeling and proceeds through Maneybhanjyang,
Tonglu, Sandakphu and ends in Phalut. The alluring natural beauty is replete
with countless varieties of Rhododendrons, Magnolias, Orchids and Wild Flowers.
The dense forests, the verdant meadows, the savage mass of Mt. Everest, the
everlasting beauty of Kanchenjunga, the rugged Lhotse or the mysterious Makalu
- all in one sweeping glance, present an experience that can never be equaled.
There are trekker huts under the management of Darjeeling Gorkha Hill Council
Tourism Department all along the route to Sandakphu. For further information
contact Tourist Bureau, Darjeeling.
