Singalila Ridge & Goecha La Trekking From Darjeeling hills where tea plantations stretch as far as the eye can see, to Sikkim, an ancient Himalayan kingdom of Tibetan culture, this trek offers breath-taking views of the Himalayan range from Cho Oyo to Kanchenjunga. The Singalila range is one of the rare spots on earth where the view embraces five summits rising above 8000m, amongst them Everest, Makalu and Lhotse. On these 19th century English Lords trails, you will trek on easy narrow paths along the Indo-Nepali border, sometimes at the edge of the jungle, sometimes through rhododendron forests. The visits of the main Sikkim monasteries (Pemayangtse, Tashiding, and Rumtek) provide a touch of culture and make of this journey a rare venture.

After an early breakfast and interesting drive into the Himalayan foothills, we set off on the first part of our walk, the relatively short, hike up to Tonglu. It is an unavoidable fact of trekking in the Himalayas that we must get up high to find the best views. Overnight Camp. Day 5: Tonglu – Gairibas (2620m) We take a mossy paved path, that snakes through a succession of forests and hamlets, giving way, from time to time, to spectacular mountain sceneries. Overnight Camp. Day 6: Gairibas – Sandakphu (3640m) We steadily climb to join the ridge trail towards Kalpokhri. Afterwards we start a long and steep climb onto the Singalila ridge that leads us to Sandakphu. A remarkable 360 ° view from the top. Overnight Camp. Day 7: Sandakphu – Phalut (3600m)  We walk to a prominent viewpoint for the magnificent sunrise over the Kanchenjunga, Jannu, Everest, Lhotse, Makalu and Cho Oyo. Throughout the day, there are ever-changing views: yak herds, silvery pine forests, tiny lakes ringed with grass, and the snow-capped Himalayan range in the background. Overnight Camp. Day 8: Phalut – Raman (2560m) Leaving Phalut, we are temporarily saying goodbye to the views of Kanchenjunga and the eastern Himalayas, as we descend for most of the day through forests of Rhododendrons and Magnolias with isolated patches of farmland to Ramam. Overnight Camp. Day 9: Raman – Rimbik (2280m) Downhill again today to the crossing of the Siri Khola passing through farmland and scattered villages.
