The Sandakphu and Phalut trek takes you to an altitude of 11,950 feet, from where you can see the Everest cluster on your left side. The Everest cluster can only be seen from Sandakphu and beyond. However, the view of the Sleeping Buddha starts on the first day and stays for a good four days on your Sandakphu trek route.
The Sandakphu Phalut trek is a must for all those who cherish such mesmerising views of gigantic mountains.
Is Sandakphu open now?
The trek to Sandakphu Phalut can be done for about eight months of the year, barring the rainy months of May to August. Sandakphu temperature in the winter months dips to minus 5-6 degree celsius. So, it’s wise to check Sandakphu weather before planning your trek in winters.

I did the Sandakphu trek in the third week of October last year.I started from Mannebhanjan.I didn’t prepare for the trek and I can’t say that I’m physically in the best form as I’m 50+.I didn’t find it as difficult as I was told.I complete the trek in 4 days.
👍 Good
How much did the trek cost?
Sir can u provide me some details
@@FreakinFacts_upDates I completed the trek in 4 days that cost me around 6-7 thousand of which the major part ( 4800 Rs.) was paid to the guide.
@@noproblem4329 I reached the Mannebhanjan from Darjeeling in the afternoon and looked for some guide. I hired a guide for 1200 Rs. for a day. I started my journey and reached tumling after sunset. stayed there in a home stay that cost 250 Rs. next morning I resumed my journey for kali pokhri . Spent the night there for 350 Rs for a bed. Next day proceeded for Sandakphu. Next day returned to sepi . The difficulty level of the trek is quite moderate. As you go to high altitude the cost of the accommodations and food increases. One more thing I would like to say is that try to get a group that way the fee for the guide get distributed .7 person can be in one group.
Hey could you share the details of what gears should we carry with us for the trek? Is quilt & bed sheets provided during night stays in camps & tea houses?
Why did you shifted base camp from jowbari I think that was the best place to start trek

I completed trek in five days in 2015
I am planning to go to sandakphu in January 2022 with a friend. It'll be my first time trekking. Is it a good idea? Or should I cancel the plan?
Nikal turant.... bta mt
I have planned to trek in March last week. This will b my first trek ever.
@@SrabaniBasak16 planning the same, all the best!!
Is it possible for a solo hiker to do this trek alone? Are there any regulations for that?
Absolutely! This is one of the best treks to do on your own since there are tea houses all along the way. You can start from Jaubari and do the whole trek.
I've been there 9times.
But hiring a guide is must.
@@debojyotisipramukherjee2118 even for solo travellers and if you know the route?
@@shivamkaushik7589 search sandakphu trek from manebhanjan....u will find plenty of vedios about the requirements of this trek & guide is mandatory for everyone since you're going through the border region.
I have done this trek in march 2021.
In India which mountain I can climb for first time as a beginner..
Plz reply sir
Kedarkantha peak. Sankri, Uttarkashi. UK.
Nice brief
Which mobile networks work??
Hahaha nice question:p
If we cannot run what is other way to prepare
While running is the best way to prepare, the alternative exercise will be stair climbing, as it builds your cardio and strengthens your leg muscles. However, if you prefer to cycle or swim, ensure that you add other forms of exercise which can improve your legs. Other exercises you can do with swimming or cycling
1. Skipping
2. Jumping Jacks
3. Squats
All these exercises build strength in your legs, so swimming and cycling combined with these exercises can replace running.
Nov end is a good time for trek at sandakphu?
Yes, it's a good time as it marks the onset of winters. You'll start to get the clear views of Kanchenjunga family. But also the temperature starts to drop at this time!
Yupp! Frankly, it's one of the best months in the whole year to do the trek.
@@soumilroy Not really. It's very unusual to see snow in Nov end. The first snow usually comes by the end of December.
Yes, we're going in last of Nov...
Is there any need of proper trek shoes? Or any sport shoes can be used
You will be needing a good waterproof shoe with ankle support and good grip for any trek
Sports shoes are not at all recommended
Can we do this trek in the month of December? Will it be green or dried up or snow?
It won't be green in December. It will be more dry and perhaps with a dusting of snow. You'll see it completely green in late March and April.
@@Indiahikes thank you for the response.
How much temperature can be expected in December end
Hi Suvidha, in winters, day time temperature will be around 8 to 12 degree and during night, temperature can drop to sub-zero levels and can go down to -3 degree.

I had an injury in my right knee, whenever I walk too much or run, it starts paining. Would you recommend I can still try? My height is 157cm and 59kg.
Hi Shwetha, we need more details on which part of knees hurts and what injury you had to suggest you anything.
Meanwhile, you can also go through our videos on knee strengthening exercises here - th-cam.com/video/bzEmx8KUleQ/w-d-xo.html
If you still feel like you need more guidance, you can write to us at info@indiahikes.com :)
@@Indiahikes the inner side of the patella is where it hurts. (The left side of the right knee). It was not a ligament injury and not a bone injury, somewhere in between. I fell in a gutter with a cover with iron rods, one of the rods broke allowing the leg to slip in thigh deep. The tussle of trying to squeeze out the leg created the injury.
What would be temparature at March end
i have done sandahkphu in march beginning..minimum temperature was around 2 degree..it was very windy
Hi Indiahikes, during which time can we see the maximum snow in this trek based on past years?
Frankly Sourav, this isn't a very snowy trek. But if you would really want to see snow, go in late January or early February. That's when you'll see the most snow.
Sandakhphu nepal
May I know in which months can we see the cloud inversion?
October and November would be two of the best months to see this. Although, we've seen it even in March and April.
Difficult? We go to sandakphu and return back go maneybhanjyang on the same day.. Lol u salesman
Goechela is difficult not this one
Routes are changed…I think,.
. 👍👍👍
I dont know why people calls this a trek... 😂😂😂.
Why??
Is it not?
Can this 5 kms in 40 mins thing be a mix of running and walking, I cannot run this much continuously but I can achieve 5kms in 40 mins with a mix of run and walk.
Yes that should be fine, as long as you can do it within 40 minutes
