Trekking in Sikkim

Wilderness Trek

Most of the trekking routes are only a few tens of kilometers from major towns but going there is like travelling many hundred years back into time. The best months to trek in Sikkim are March to May and September to November. Most of the places on trekking routes in remote areas are just herders' huts or sheds and some places have nothing at all but wilderness.

Singalila Trek

This nine-day trek beginning and ending in Darjeeling takes you along the famed "Singalila range" to Sandakphu (12,000) and Phalut (11,800). On the way you will pass through spectacular forests of silver fir, rhododendrons, chestnuts, oaks, magnolias and hemlock. A springtime trek reveals not only stunning views of the mountains but whole hillsides covered with rhododendron and magnolia flowers. A post monsoon trek reveals the mountains in crispier glory when the rains have washed away the haze. The trail from Sandakphu to Phalut is an exhilarating experience and one can see four of the world's highest mountains: Everest, Makalu, Lhotse and Kanchenjunga in one glance. ...........................................................more

Ladakh Tour

Ladakh is on the western edge of the Tibetan plateau, bordered by the Himalayan Range to the south and the Karakoram to the north. Razor sharp peaks criss-cross the sun-baked landscape and glacial melt irrigates precious crops during the brief growing season. Ladakh has been a repository of Vajrayana Buddhism for the last 1000 years and its tremendous natural beauty is complemented by magnificent medieval monasteries, white washed chortens, and brightly colored prayer flags. Since 1834 when the Maharajah of Kashmir annexed Ladakh it has been politically a part of India but it's language, religion, and customs are closely related to those of central Tibet. ...............................................................more
