Sikkim Himalaya
Dzongri & the Singalila trek – (SKTRK- 149)

19 days exploration of some of the most beautiful country and peaks of the eastern Himalaya

The Singalila is the divide that demarcates the western borders of Sikkim and Darjeeling with Nepal. This recently opened route encompasses the area southwest of Dzongri and as defined by it’s name, includes several days of hike traversing the Singalila Range, the lesser mountain chain that rises from the northern hills of Darjeeling District and extends to converge with the Khangchendzonga (or Kanchenjunga) massif. As one traverses this razor-edged borderline ridge, spectacular views abound on both sides with rare species of rhododendron in bloom (at the right season), and an occasional herd of yaks with its herder will be your only source of contact with civilization for quite a number of days.
