Sandakphu Trek
Yes it is feasible. Though I feel an instuctor of HMI is the best one to suggest. I know a person named Sanjay Bhowmik phone 9434343430 who is an instructor of HMI.

after 11 or 12am weather might get bad....but no need to worry abt that....if u get luky then u might get snowfall....we got only frost though no snow fall.... hard luck....but one thing 4 sure we will enjoy the trip & it is very easy...only the last 4 km frm bikebhanjan is a bit tough...
u can get guide porter frm manebhanjan...its available....but i can say u that there is no need of that....they will say it is neccesary to take a guide (govt reg...will carry only 10 kg )to enter the forrest but that is not true.... u had to buy tickets frm gairibas & u hav to pay extra 4 digcam or moviecam...but there is no further checking ... hope help u a bit....best of luck...  |
