One of the biggest highlights of the Sandakphu Package from Kolkata is the rare chance to witness four of the world's highest mountain peaks from a single viewpoint.

On a clear day, travelers can enjoy breathtaking sights of Mt. Everest (8,848 m), Mt. Kanchenjungha (8,586 m), Mt. Lhotse (8,516 m), and Mt. Makalu (8,485 m) - all towering above the clouds. It's a magical moment for every trekker and mountain lover.
Mt. Makalu, the fifth highest mountain in the world, can be seen to the right of Everest from Sandakphu. Mt. Lhotse, which means "South Peak" in Tibetan, stands just to the left of Everest, forming a majestic trio with the world's tallest peak. Mt. Everest, of course, dominates the skyline, and with binoculars from Phalut, you can see its snow-covered peak shining brilliantly in the sun.
But the most mesmerizing view is of Mt. Kanchenjungha, often called the "Sleeping Buddha" due to its unique shape. From both Sandakphu and Phalut, this giant peak feels incredibly close, especially from Phalut, where the view is so clear it feels like you could touch the mountains. This sight is the soul of the Sandakphu Tour from Kolkata, attracting adventurers from all around the world.
For those who want to enjoy these heavenly views without a long trek, Sandakphu Land Rover tour packages from Kolkata offer the perfect solution.

Planning for a Sandakphu Travel Booking from Kolkata or trekking adventure? The experience of this journey changes with each season, offering something unique depending on when you travel. However, some months are far more ideal than others - especially for those who want to enjoy the best views, weather, and trail conditions. Here's a seasonal breakdown to help you choose the perfect time to book your Sandakphu trekking package from Kolkata or Sandakphu Tour Plan and Booking from Kolkata with Adorable Vacation:
Autumn is the best time to visit Sandakphu. From mid-November to the end of December, the skies are crystal clear with blue hues, the air is crisp, and the views are absolutely breathtaking. This is when you get the clearest, uninterrupted views of Mt. Kanchenjunga and the entire Sleeping Buddha range, along with other 8000-meter+ peaks like Mt. Everest, Lhotse, and Makalu.
If you're a photographer, mountain lover, or simply someone who dreams of witnessing the mighty Himalayas in their full glory, this is the season to go. The sunrises from Sandakphu and Phalut during this time are magical, painting the peaks with golden light.
The second best time to plan your Sandakphu trek from Kolkata is in spring, from late March to the end of June. During this period, the entire trail turns into a vibrant garden of blooming Rhododendrons and Primulas. The hills, slopes, and forest trails get covered with multi-colored flowers, creating a surreal, fairy-tale-like atmosphere.
For nature lovers and flower enthusiasts, this is a paradise. Every step along the trek feels like walking through a floral tunnel. The weather is also moderate - not too cold, not too hot making it one of the most comfortable and scenic times to enjoy the journey.
Monsoon is strictly avoided for Sandakphu tours and treks from Kolkata. The region experiences heavy rainfall, which often leads to landslides, slippery trails, and blocked roads. Trekking during this time can be dangerous, and visibility is very poor due to fog and rain. We do not recommend planning your Sandakphu trip from Kolkata during monsoon for safety reasons.
If you're an adventure seeker who doesn't mind the cold, winter offers a snow-covered Sandakphu that's truly magical. The entire region turns into a white wonderland, with snow-laden trails and frozen landscapes. However, be prepared, the temperatures often drop below zero, and conditions can be harsh.
Winter trekking is best suited for experienced trekkers who are well equipped to handle sub zero temperatures and potentially challenging terrain. The views are stunning, and the peaceful snowy trails offer a different kind of charm.

After you arrive at Bagdogra Airport (IXB), NJP Railway Station, or Siliguri Bus Stop, you'll be greeted by our team, then start your journey for the Sandakphu Land Rover Package Tour from Kolkata. From there, you'll drive towards Manebhanjan, a small town located on the India-Nepal border in the Darjeeling district. The route goes via Mirik, a scenic town often called the "Land of Land Rovers". On the way take a hault at Gopal Dhara Tea Estate - a picture perfect Tea garden with amazing view. Take pictures, selfie, roam the garden, and taste the authentic Darjeeling tea on roadside shops. If you wish, you can buy some good quality tea from there also or can buy it on your way back. The road journey from Bagdogra/NJP to Manebhanjan is a beautiful one, passing through winding roads surrounded by green hills, sky high pine forests, tea shops, and stunning mountain views. You'll see lots of travelers on the way enjoying the peaceful route.
Once you reach Manebhanjan, check into a comfortable hotel with all the basic facilities. Though it's a small town, Manebhanjan is a busy hub and the main starting point for trips to Sandakphu, welcoming adventure lovers from across the world.
After a long day of travel, the evening is yours to relax. You can take a walk through the local market, soak in the mountain vibe, and make any last-minute purchases like dry snacks, medicines, or bottled water for the upcoming journey to Sandakphu. You'll spend the night at a hotel or homestay in Manebhanjan, getting ready for the adventure ahead.
As the morning sun casts a warm orange glow over the small town of Manebhanjan, the locals begin preparing their vintage Land Rovers, some of which are over 50 to 70 years old. Wake up early, soak in the fresh morning mist, and take a quiet stroll through the peaceful town. You'll come across a small monastery worth visiting for a moment of calm and reflection.
You'll notice how people in the hills start their day much earlier than in cities, children heading to school, shopkeepers opening their stores, and residents going about their daily routines. The area is predominantly inhabited by people of Nepali origin, and observing their lifestyle offers a unique cultural experience. This is what your journey is about - gathering moments, memories, and a happy experience that stays with you forever.
After freshening up, get ready for the adventure ahead. Once you've had breakfast, check out from your hotel and hop into one of the iconic Land Rovers, originally built during the British era. These rugged vehicles are the only ones permitted on the challenging mountain route from Manebhanjan to Sandakphu. The road is steep, narrow, and rocky, with sharp turns making it impossible for regular cars to pass. However, Bolero vehicles have now been introduced on this route, offering a smoother and more comfortable ride while still being capable of handling the bumpy terrain.
On your way, your first stop is Chitrey, a beautiful village located at 8,340 feet and known for its serene natural surroundings. Many travelers choose to stay in Chitrey instead of Manebhanjan to enjoy its peaceful vibe. There's a restaurant-cum-homestay called Hawk's Nest in Chitrey that offers simple accommodation. The village also has a monastery that's worth exploring in the evening. If you decide to stay here, book your vehicle up to Chitrey for the first day, spend the night, and start your Sandakphu trip from Kolkata the next morning.
As your Land Rover adventure to Sandakphu from Kolkata begins, you'll travel through dense green forests, misty hills, and trails lined with vibrant rhododendron flowers. Along the way, you'll pass Lamey Dhura, a tiny settlement, followed by Meghma, located 3 km from Lamey Dhura and 6 km from Chitrey. Meghma, like Chitrey, also has a monastery worth visiting.
Next, you'll reach Tonglu, just 2 km from Meghma, and then Tumling - both scenic points offering jaw-dropping views of snow capped Mt Kanchenjungha in a clear day. The journey is filled with beauty at every turn. The views of Mt. Kanchenjunga and other Himalayan peaks, often seen together from here in a single panoramic sweep, are moments to cherish forever.
After Tonglu (3,070 m), you'll reach the Singalila National Park checkpoint, where you must present your trekking or entry permit. From here, the route continues through the national park, passing Gairibas and Kalipokhri, before finally arriving at Sandakphu.
A highlight of Sandakphu is the iconic Sherpa Chalet Homestay. As you approach the summit, catching a glimpse of this homestay from below is a thrilling moment - it means you're just a few meters from the top.
Sandakphu, at 11,930 feet, is the highest point in West Bengal and is world-famous for offering unmatched views of the "Sleeping Buddha" formation, along with Mt. Kanchenjunga, Everest, Lhotse, Makalu, and more often floating above a sea of clouds. You'll be welcomed by fluttering prayer flags, peaceful pine forests, and a 360-degree Himalayan view that leaves a lasting impression.
Upon arrival, check into a cozy homestay, equipped with all essential comforts in a quiet, scenic environment. As evening falls and temperatures drop, there's nothing better than sipping a cup of hot tea, wrapped in a warm blanket, while watching Mt. Kanchenjunga glowing under the sunset, as if lit by thousands of tiny lights. Spend the night at your hotel or homestay in Sandakphu, surrounded by silence, stars, and the magic of the mountains.
As the Sleeping Buddha - a stunning formation made up of Kanchenjunga and other Himalayan peaks slowly lights up in soft, rosy hues at sunrise, wake up to this magical view from the comfort of your warm, cozy blanket. It's a peaceful, almost surreal moment that makes every bit of the journey worthwhile. Enjoy a homely breakfast with hot tea/coffee in the chilly mountain air while soaking in the magnificent scenery before heading out for your next adventure to Phalut.
Located 20 km from Sandakphu, Phalut is about a 2.5-hour journey by Jeep, and it stands as one of the highest points in West Bengal. Surrounded by towering mountains, Phalut offers some of the most breathtaking views of Mt. Kanchenjunga and Mt. Everest. The road to Phalut is incredibly scenic, with panoramic landscapes and winding forest trails. Adventurous trekkers often choose to hike this stretch, enjoying every moment as they ascend to the top.
From Phalut Top, you'll find Mt. Kanchenjunga closer than ever, appearing so massive and near that it feels like you could reach out and touch it.
Upon returning to Sandakphu, spend your evening relaxing and enjoying the peaceful atmosphere. You can try some local snacks and hot meals at the popular Sunrise Hotel and Restaurant, a cozy spot loved by visitors.
Here to note that mobile network coverage in Sandakphu is limited, which might be a challenge for those who enjoy staying active on social media. To make the most of your downtime, it's a great idea to carry a few board games like chess, ludo, monopoly, or playing cards for some fun indoor entertainment. Night stay at Sandakphu, surrounded by mountains, mist, and the magic of the Himalayas.
Mornings in the hills can be tough to start, especially with the chilly weather making it hard to leave the comfort of a warm quilt. But with a new destination waiting to be explored, it's time to rise and get going. After a warm and filling breakfast, begin your journey to Lepchajagat.
As part of your Sandakphu Land Rover package tour from Kolkata, the day starts with a Sandakphu Land Rover Tour from Kolkata Top down to Manebhanjan. From there, you'll switch to a vehicle like a Sumo or Bolero for the scenic drive to Lepchajagat - your next stop.
Lepchajagat is a peaceful and lesser-known gem in the Darjeeling district. Tucked away from the hustle and bustle of the town, it's a dream come true for nature lovers. Surrounded by tall pine and oak trees and offering stunning views of Mt. Kanchenjunga, this quiet village is perfect for anyone looking to spend a few days in nature's lap.
Once you arrive, check into your hotel or homestay, equipped with all the basic comforts. Most accommodations here have large windows that open up to breathtaking views of the forest and mountains. The evening is yours to relax. Take a stroll through the peaceful surroundings, enjoy the fresh mountain air, and maybe pick up some local handmade souvenirs from the nearby shops. Spend the night at Lepchajagat, where nature's beauty and silence offer the perfect end to a day of travel and discovery.
After enjoying a heart full of sweet memories with is astonishing Sandakphu tour package with Land Rover from Kolkata, have your breakfast and begin your journey back to Bagdogra Airport or NJP Railway Station. We bet that this Sandakphu Phalut trip from kolkata will be a life time experience and you will cherish the magic moments forever.
