Trekking to Sandakphu | Sandakphu Trek details | How Difficult is it? | BoHoish

This video is based on my experience of trekking to Sandakphu during the pandemic. Here you'll find a detailed sandakphu trek details that you'll need if you're planning your trek after lockdown in 2021.
Sandakphu , being the highest point of Singalila ridge and because of the gorgeous views of sleeping buddha from the summit, it is a point of attraction for many trekkers and tourists looking for a Himalayan trek.
This was my first multiday Himalayan trek and also because I was traveling solo, I didn't want to bear the guide cost entirely on my own. So, I booked this Sandakphu trek package with Himalaya trekkers. Now I can't thank the team enough for the service they provided. First impression matters after all ☺️

-----------------------------------------------
A few tips for the first timers:
1. Sandakphu trek Permit - If you're visiting till Tonglu or Tumling, you don't need a permit. It is needed only to enter singalila national park. You can obtain your permit from Manebhunjung. But in case you forgot to make a permit, you can do it from the singalila national park entry check post.
If you're taking the reverse trek route, i.e. Srikhola - Gorkhey - Phalut - Sandakphu, then to go beyond Gorkhey you need an entry permit.
2. Guide : can be hired from the Highlander Guides and Porters welfare association at Manebhunjung. They are also available from Dhotrey and Srikhola (in case you are taking the reverse trek route).
Guide cost - 1000 rs/day. So try to visit in a group to divide the cost.
**Guide is mandatory for the trek as of February, 2021.
3. Network: For me Airtel and Jio were enough. Though Jio connection was really poor but at that high altitude of 3636m, even a few minutes of connection was enough.
4. Timing : its an all year round trek except the monsoon season of may - August.
If you want to see rhododendron throughout the entire trek, March - April is your time.
5. Rules : Some activities that are strictly prohibited throughout the trek - throwing of plastic/ garbage here and there, Habitat destruction, Kindling fire and Trespassing.
The Himalayan region is beautiful and it should be everyone's responsibility to keep the place clean.
And just enjoy your trek, drink a lot of water, take a lot of photos and go back again ✌️

Yaa! I have to confess that your video give me strength to accomplish this dream. I want to do it alone. Plz provide info about your tour organiser & price& is it OK to go alone.

[@bohoish]

You can absolutely go alone. Just like I did. If you prefer going with a tour organization, then contact Himalayan Trekkers. I guess you'll find the link in the description. Just email them and they will take care of the rest. Hope that helps :)

No no Indian sim also works. Network issue hota he thoda pr you can make a few phone calls easily... Airtel is better option than jio

Hi I have one doubt do we get trekking stick there

[@bohoish]

Walking stick isn't needed, but you'll find many (natural sticks 🤪) while trekking through the forest. Or, you can carry your own walking stick ofcourse 🙂

[@kinggenji4249]

Is the hotels included in the treaking package?? And were you solo or with your own group??

Yes I was traveling solo and foods and accommodations are included in the package.

Yes meals are included.

You were traveling with Himalayan Trekkers so did you play for your lodging & foods ??

No.. everything was included in the package

[@treksandtrails8435]

If we are going upto Tumling ,,the also Guide is requried or not ??

[@bohoish]

No. Guides, permit etc are needed only if you are entering the national park, which is 2 kms from Tumling. So, tumling can be visited without hiring a guide.

Thanks for the appreciation 😊. By the way this video (most of it) was shot on GoPro 7.

[@snehal6443]

Roughly how much did the entire trip cost . Except travelling expenses from and to kolkata

[@bohoish]

It depends. If you are opting for a trek package, then it'll cost you around 10k per person. But if you are doing it on your own, say with your family or group of friends....then it depends on your group size. For a four people group, my budget will be around 7k per person. The more people you have in your group, less will be the per person cost.

[@snehal6443]

Thank you . This is very helpful 😊💖

[@Meerarvlog]

Per head kitne parenge?

[@bohoish]

Depend krta he. Agar aap solo jaa rahe ho independently...then budget around 14k rakhna hoga (both sandakphu and phalut). Aur agar aap ksi trekking organization k saath jaa rahe ho then per head 12k pkd lo.

Sorry I have no idea about that. But you can do one thing. Contact the guides and porters welfare association at manebhunjung. They might be able to help you with your queries. Have a safe trek 🙂

[@joypatra1248]

I was confusing about the Guide. Are you sure guide is mandatory ? And thanks for this such a good and informative video

[@bohoish]

At that time guide was mandatory. It was like 1 year ago. I'm not sure if you still need to book a guide on a mandatory basis or not. You can call the manebhunjung trekkers association or the guide we hired, to confirm 🙂
