Sandakphu or Sandakpur at 3,636 m (11,929 ft)[1] is a mountain peak in the Singalila Ridge on the border between India and Nepal. It is the highest point of the ridge and of the state of West Bengal, India. The peak is located at the edge of the Singalila National Park and has a small village on the summit with a few hotels. Four of the five highest peaks in the world, Everest, Kangchenjunga, Lhotse and Makalu can be seen from its summit. It also affords a pristine view of the entire Kangchenjunga Range. Sandakphu is also known as the land of poisonous flowers. Etymology The name derives from the Tibeto-Burman Lepcha language and translates as "the height of the poisonous plant" - in reference to the former abundance at the locality (around a century ago) of the poisonous plants Aconitum ferox and certain rhododendron species. So great was the danger of fatal poisoning to sheep and cattle being driven through the area that they had to be muzzled to prevent them grazing/browsing upon these toxic species (Aconitum ferox has a good claim to being the most poisonous plant species in the world).[4][5] Trekking India The trek along the Singalila Ridge to Sandakphu and Phalut is one of the most popular in the Eastern Himalayas, owing not only to the stupendous vistas of the Kangchenjunga and Everest ranges which it affords, but also to its seasonal wildflowers and opportunities for birdwatching. Treks begin at Manebhanjan which is 28 km (17 mi) (approx. 1 hour by road) from Darjeeling.[6] Ascent The Sandakphu trekking routes inside the Singalila National Park have four legs or stages. Manebhanjan to Meghma – height 2,600 m (8,500 ft): This is a 4-hour trek through the lower forest. The route goes via Chitre. Meghma to Gairibans – height 2,621 m (8,599 ft): There are two alternative trekking routes. They respectively go via Tonglu – height 3,070 m (10,070 ft) and Tumling – height 2,900 m (9,500 ft). From Tumling, a shorter trail cuts through Nepal and Jaubari – height 2,750 m (9,020 ft). Jaubari is ward no 07 of jamuna VDC ilam. Gairibans to Sandakphu – height 3,636 m (11,929 ft) Sandakphu to Phalut – height 3,600 m (11,800 ft): It is a one-day trek via Sabarkum – height 3,536 m (11,601 ft) covering 21 km (13 mi).
