The
Singalila Ridge separates Sikkim from Eastern Nepal. It extends
from Darjeeling all the way to Kanchenjunga to the North and
affords the finest views of Kanchenjunga, at 8586m the world's
third highest mountain, as well as distant views of Everest.
The ridge
is heavily forested with oak and rhododendron forest and has
superb views of many well known peaks- Everest, Lhotse, Makalu
and Kanchenjunga and Chomolhari.
Sikkim is
one of India's most beautiful states, situated between India and
Tibet, bordered by Nepal, Bhutan and West Bengal. The population
is mainly Buddhist and with the very high rainfall experienced
by the eastern Himalaya (nothing stands between Sikkim and the
Bay of Bengal to stop the rain) making it very lush with a rich
flora and fauna. Over 700 species of birds have been recorded in
Sikkim and more than 4000 species of flowering plants.
The trek
along the ridge has been a popular one since the days of the
British Raj but we wanted to combine the northern part of the
Singalila ridge trek with another trek taking us closer to
Kanchengjunga.
This meant
no ridge walking but plenty of trekking through pristine
jungles. No deforestation here and as the annual rainfall in
this part of the word is close to 5.000 mm it was...green to say
the least!

Travels Sikkim was one of the active campaigner to open this
trekking train as its the best one can get for adventure
seekers. You have to trek to witness the grandeurs of the trek.
