What do you believe it is that attracts trekkers from all over the world to the Sandakphu and Singalila treks? The answer is simple: nowhere else can you see four of the world’s five tallest peaks in a single stretch of snow.

The Sandakphu summit, also known as the “paradise of nature lovers,” is a vantage point from which one can see four of the world’s five tallest peaks in a continuous snow-covered arc: Everest, Kanchenjunga, Makalu, and Lhotse.

Tourists will view the brilliant peaks of the Everest family in Nepal’s far west, including the stunning Mt. Everest, as the sun rises (29,029 ft., the highest peak in the world). Sandakphu is roughly 160 kilometres distant. Other nearby summits are Kabru (24,026 ft), Kumbhakarna (25,294 ft), and Pandim (24,026 ft) (22,010 ft). The Three Sisters peaks are located between Everest and Kanchenjunga. The huge Tibetan peaks of Narsing, Dongkyu, and Chola may be seen east of Kanchenjunga. Then there’s Chamolhari, who may be found in Bhutan.

The tallest peak on Nepal’s Singalila Ridge, which is located in the district of Ilam on the West Bengal-Nepal border, is Sandakphu (3665 m; 11,930 ft). The mountain is situated on the outskirts of the Singalila National Park, with a tiny town and a few hotels on the summit.
