What you can expect

Begin your day with an early morning pickup from your hotel in Darjeeling and set off on a scenic drive to Manebhanjang, the gateway to Sandakphu. Upon arrival, board a vintage Land Rover, an iconic vehicle known for its robust build and historical significance in navigating the rugged terrains of this region.

Ascend towards the highest peak in West Bengal. The journey to Sandakphu is as memorable as the destination itself, with winding roads, lush greenery, and mist-covered valleys accompanying you along the way.

En route, enjoy a tea or breakfast stop at a picturesque spot, where the crisp mountain air enhances the flavours of your refreshments. Upon reaching Sandakphu, situated at an altitude of 11,930 feet, prepare to be mesmerised by the unparalleled panoramic views.

This majestic location offers a rare sight of four of the world's five highest peaks: Mount Everest, Kanchenjunga, Lhotse, and Makalu. Known as the “Sleeping Buddha,” the Kanchenjunga range stands out with its distinct formation resembling a reclining figure.

Explore the surroundings, take in the breathtaking vistas, and soak in the serene atmosphere of this incredible peak. Capture the beauty of the rolling hills, vibrant rhododendron forests, and the awe-inspiring horizon.

After an unforgettable experience at Sandakphu, begin your descent back to Manebhanjang, with another opportunity to enjoy a short break and reflect on the journey. Arriving at Manebhanjang, transfer back to your vehicle for the return trip to Darjeeling. You’ll reach your hotel by evening, carrying with you memories of an adventurous and visually stunning day trip to Sandakphu.
