The Darjeeling Singalila Ridge Trek! Just two hours from the city, the wonderful path begins. Though not a far drive from the city, the trail seems like it is in the middle of nowhere, as you traverse from ridge to ridge. The scenic Singalila Ridge connects the grand Himalaya of Nepal to India. The highlight of the trek is walking this ridge to Sandakphu (3,636 meters/11,929 feet), the highest point in West Bengal, where you get jaw-dropping views of the highest peaks on the planet.

On the Sikkim Green Lake Trek you follow a very picturesque trail that combines dense natural beauty with spectacular views of high peaks. The route passes through vast tracts of thick forest alive with several varieties of rhododendron, other colourful flowers and a variety of birds. Waterfalls tumble down both sides of the trail, and the landscape opens from wooded valleys to sweeping mountain vistas as you move higher. The area has a notable mountaineering history: Kanchenjunga was one of the first peaks attempted by expeditions before World War Two, and, when Nepal was closed, approaches via the Zemu Glacier from Sikkim were used. Pre-war Everest expeditions also passed through North Sikkim and this trail featured in their routes. Today much of the country around Green Lake remains largely unexplored, since not many parties have been allowed to cross into the area, as Harish Kapadia notes. The trek therefore offers both striking natural scenery and a sense of remote, historically significant terrain.
