Sandakphu - Phalut Help needed...

FROZZZEN AIR · Apr 27th, 2009, 18:28

Hi all,

Me and my group of friends, are planning for a SANDAKPHU-FALUT trekking trip 8th-->15th May.
I need some information regarding that. Please help.

I have gone through allmost all the threads related to this trek, but couldnot find some vital information.

Here is the tour plan.

(day-1)(8th May) - Start from kolkata by night bus/train

(day-2)(9th May)- Reach New Jalpaiguri in morning. Then start for Sandakphu by car. (Please provide me details about distance, time taken by car, approx fare, can we book a car only for reaching sandakphu as a one way journey?)

(day-3)(10th May)- Rest at sandakphu

(day-4)(11th May) - Trek to Phalut from sandakphu. (Distance? Time taken?)

(day-5)(12th May) - Trek to Rammam from Phalut. (Distance? Time taken?)

(day-6)(13th May) - Trek to Rimbik from Rammam. (Distance? Time taken?)

(day-7)(14th May) - Rimbik to siliguri by car.(Distance? Time taken? will the car be available throughout the whole day?)Get the train from jalpaiguri in the evening for Kolkata

(day-8)(15th May) - Reach Kolkata in morning

Please help me with these information to zero down on my tour plan.

Some other questions:

1. Will the time be good for trekking as far as weather and views are concerned?

2. Is the plan achievable by almost amature trekkers like us?

Regards,

Hi, First of all you cannot take same car from NJP/SLG to Sandakphu, first you have to go to Manebhanjan from NJP/SLG, then you have to hire another jeep from there for Sandakphu. This jeep's are too old landrover, a little modified. As far as time is concerned May is good time for this trek. You can visit several web sites for the details you want.
