What Makes Sandakphu  Famous

Sandakphu is famous for being the highest point in West Bengal and for offering one of the most stunning panoramic views in the Himalayas. From its summit, trekkers can witness the majestic sight of four of the world's five tallest mountains — Everest, Kanchenjunga, Lhotse, and Makalu — all lined up in a single view, an experience unique to this location. It is also renowned for the “Sleeping Buddha” formation, a natural alignment of peaks resembling a sleeping figure.

Apart from its views, Sandakphu is celebrated for its rich biodiversity, lying within the Singalila National Park. The trail is adorned with seasonal blooms like rhododendrons and orchids, and it's one of the few places where red pandas can still be spotted in the wild. The trek to Sandakphu is also culturally rich, with influences from both Indian and Nepalese communities, adding to its charm and making it a favorite among trekkers.
