Treks in the Darjeeling and Sikkim Himalayas
Darjeeling
:
The hill station Darjeeling ( 2134m) is on the southeast rim of the Singalila
ridge that forms part of the Darjeeling Hills.
For most travellers, Darjeeling consists of the large township that sprwals
along the ridges of the Darjeeling hills. Yet the outlying regions of
the district provide fine opportunities fo trekking and remarkable views
of Kanchunjunga.

trek along the Singalila ridge in the month of April - May 2008.
