Why We Love Sandakphu Phalut | Sleeping Buddha | Everest | A Tribute By Indiahikes

There is nothing else like the Sandakphu Phalut Trek. It offers the breathtaking experience of seeing four of the world's tallest peaks. Yet it is also a trek where nature and culture come together.
From Phalut, on your left is the Everest cluster, which includes the world's fourth- and fifth-highest mountains, Lhotse and Makalu. It's a once-in-a-lifetime chance to see these three majestic peaks together from a vantage point.
The "Sleeping Buddha" on your right is even more impressive. The resemblance of the massif to a sleeping human form is uncanny. The third-highest mountain in the world, Kanchenjunga, stands out as the most prominent peak in this uniquely shaped massif.
You awaken to the Sleeping Buddha from our Sabalgram campsite. The view often leaves trekkers teary-eyed.
Sandakphu-Phalut is our favourite spot in the world to view sunrises and sunsets. We have never witnessed a sunset as stunning as the one we see from Aahl. In a quirk of natural wonder, in the evening, a sea of clouds settles below Aahl. The clouds come in like waves on the sea. In this magical cauldron of clouds, the sun slowly descends. Around us, still glistening orange, are the Everest cluster and the Sleeping Buddha. These are some of the trek's most emotional moments.
Frankly, we want you to do this trek just to see the sunrises and sunsets. In our experience, we have not found any of our treks that give such spectacular sunrises and sunsets.
The Singalila National Park is, of course, a favourite among our trekkers. The bamboo and rhododendron forests there are among the densest. These forests are magnificent.

    I just completed Sandakphu Phalut Trek last week. It's been 7 days I returned, but my heart still lies in the mountains... Oh what an experience.. You have to be there to feel it. No Video, no stories will do justice with what we have experienced in 6 days of trek. . It was my first trek in life. I wish to make it a yearly thing from now. Thanks Indiahikes for taking care of us so well.❤

    Did it with IH back in last year's October. Its holds a very very special place in ny heart as it was my first true trek, not day hikes. It should be the pioneer trek for everyone to do in their trekking life. It's a melting pot of everything romantic and exciting mother nature has to offer, to be true. ❤

    Sandakphu was my first trek. The first time when I saw the majestic Kanchenjunga, it was unbelievable experience for me and a memory which I'll cherish forever. However if people in the trekking community want to see Kanchenjunga from a better more bigger/closer distance, you should try Dafeybhir Pass trek. It's a much harder much difficult trek, with unpredictable weather, but the view of Kanchenjunga if you get to see from dafeybhir top, would be the best memory of your life, something which I can't explain in words.

    Very true, our trek leader who documented this trek came back and said "the Dafeybhir Pass trek takes you close to the Sleeping Buddha range (Mt Kanchenjunga and its family of peaks). So close that the view you get from Phalut seems miles away in comparison." Yet the trek is equally difficult to access and quite difficult on the legs. Only those who work very hard and earn it get the view, unlike the Sandakphu trek, which spoils you quite a bit!

    Very true, and that's why we have started doing the trek from Sepi side. Sepi - Samden - Molley - Sabargram - Sandakphu - Gurdum - Sepi. On this route, you will experience all the goodness of the trek while avoiding most of the motorable traffic. If you need more information about this route, visit indiahikes.com/sandakphu-phalut.

    From October to February, you get the best mountain views - kzread.info/dash/bejne/h5mMtdNxlKnWgbg.htmlsi=d7x-IWlDG7HfPA-6 After that, in March and April, during springtime, you get the best experience of the blooming rhododendrons (this is the only time they bloom). The forests and biodiversity burst to life during these months. Avoid the trail between May and mid-september because it rains very heavily and the trail becomes very slushy and tough to navigate.
