Darjeeling Tour Package for 2 Days 1 Night

City 3

The trip actually starts from here. We shifted to a 1960s land rover which would take us to Phalut via Sandakphu. For those who have not visited, there is actually no proper road, its just a path made of rocks and the whole journey is very very very bumpy. We had decided to move upto Tumling on the first day and we reached Tumling around 3pm after having lunch at Chitrey.It was cloudy when we reached so no luck with the view of Kanchenjunga. The distance between Manebhanjan and Sandakphu is only 32km but it takes over 4 hours by land rover, in spite of having a 5-6km good stretch of paved road after Tumling to Garibus.We stayed at Shikher lodge in Tumling. The hospitality was amazing and the food was also awesome. We got a good view We started next morning at around 11am (due to problem with our land rover we started late) and reached Kalapokhri at around 1pm. The weather was getting really bad and there was fog all around which had drastically reduced visibility.It started raining after a while and we managed to reach Sandakphu at around 4pm after having lunch at Kalapokhri.

The weather cleared out a bit but still no luck with the view. To make matters worse, it started raining heavily at night. We were staying at Sherpa chalet and they provide good neat rooms and have electricity till 10pm. We were sceptical about our chances of witnessing the sunrise next morning. We were woken up by our guide at around 5am and we were welcomed by an amazing view of the entire Kanchenjunga range along with Mt. Everest. The entire panorama could be easily seen, the only problem was the part of the sky from where sun was to come out was cloudy. Our guide took us to an amazing spot which is on top of a small hill which you need to climb. The sun slowly came out and we witnessed an amazing view. After spending some time there, we came back to hotel and started for Phalut. The weather again became cloudy and soon, the peaks vanished behind the clouds. The route from S’phu to Phalut is a trekkers paradise with all kinds of orchids, flowers,meadows all around to make your journey a memorable one.
