6N7D SANDAKPHU – PHALUT GROUP TREK

The Sandakphu-Phalut Trek is a soul-stirring 6-day journey through the magnificent Singalila Range, straddling the India-Nepal border. Famed for its sweeping views of four of the world’s five highest peaks – Everest, Kanchenjunga, Lhotse, and Makalu – the trail unfolds through rhododendron forests, rustic villages, bamboo groves, and alpine meadows.

This trek is a perfect blend of adventure, culture, and serenity, with cosy homestays, Buddhist charm, and Tibetan-Nepali cuisine enriching the experience. The iconic “Sleeping Buddha” formation of Mt. Kanchenjunga remains your guiding silhouette for much of the trail, culminating in the panoramic glory of Sandakphu (11,900 ft) and the highland haven of Phalut.

Whether you’re a seasoned trekker or an explorer with moderate experience, the Sandakphu-Phalut trail is one of the most unique and visually rewarding hikes in India.
