Hi, I’m Debanjan. Stuck in University studies, doing my P.G. About blogging people told me that its like writing a diary in the 21st century. A dairy which you guys have access to.
I love travelling. My philosophy is that in order to find ourselves we must be lost first. And I can can help you with that. Following are 4 places/treks that can help you in this journey of finding yourselves.
1. Sandakphu Trek
Sandakphu is not only the most popular trek in West Bengal but it is also one of the best treks in Eastern India. At an altitude of 3636 meters or 11930 feet, this is the highest point in Bengal.
Aptly called the Paradise of Trekkers, the peak is a vantage point from where one can see four of the world’s five highest peaks – Everest, Kanchenjunga, Makalu, and Lhotse – in a continuous snow-clad arc.
2. Phoktey Dara Trek
Phoktey Dara is Situated at 3733mtr and famous for Rhododendrons and different species of birds. For the majestic sunrise and sunset, Phoktey Dara Top is considered as a very extraordinary view point of Sikkim and relatively lesser known trekking trail in West Sikkim.
3. Maenam Hill Trek
This is a short trek. Best suited for those who are in a tight schedule and budget.
Maenam Hill situated at an altitude of 3140 m, is popular place for offering the most promising views of the richly forested hills contrasting with the lustrous Mt. Khangchendzonga behind. The treks to Maenam Hill come as a combined visit to the Maenam Wildlife Sanctuary, where one can spot the rare species of Himalayan birds and animals amidst their natural habitat.
There are regular buses or shared taxis available from Namchi to reach Maenam.
4. Hilley Varsey Trek
This is also a short or 2 day trek.
Barsey, also spelled Varsey is a Rhododendron Sanctuary and a nature preserve inside West Sikkim. The gentle walk from Hilley to Barsey inside pristine jungle is probably one of the finest in Sikkim. More than 250 cm of rainfall and above 2000 m of altitude makes the prevailing climate of this area wet and cold.
These are my recomendations to get you started. Later I will post my experiences for each one of them. So from where you are starting ?
