The Singalila Pass Trek is situated in between the Barsey Rhododendron Sanctuary and Singallia National Park. The trek starts from a small village called Sophakha, which is approximately 152 kilometres from New jalpaiguri.

The trek typically takes around 6 to 7 days to complete, covering a distance of approximately 48-51 kilometers, depending on the route chosen.

The trek is considered moderately challenging and is suitable for both beginners and experienced trekkers. However, proper preparation and physical fitness are essential.

In Spring (March to May), the forests come alive with blooming rhododendrons and magnolias, offering vibrant and colorful landscapes. In Autumn (October to November), clear skies provide unobstructed views of the mountain ranges, perfect for photographic and panoramic visuals.

We have our own guides to ensure our safety and helps to navigate the trail effectively. Since the Singalila Pass Trek falls within the Barsey Rhododendron Sanctuary and the Singalila National Park, permits will be issued from the Forest Department.
