Singalila Ridge Trek from Darjeeling - 6 Days

We did the Sandakphu Offbeat Trek. It was a memorable and gratifying experience. The trip was well organized. Our guide Tenzing was very attentive to our needs and abilities. He was thoughtful, knowledgeable about the plant and wildlife as well as about the local culture. We appreciated his encouragement, kindness and sense of humour. The Ashmita office was helpful in mapping out the trek, answering all our questions with detail and patience. We would highly recommend Ashmita and Tenzing.

We trekked the Singalila Ridge with Ashmita Tours. Subash was very helpful when arranging, squashing the trek into 5 instead of 6 days to suit our itinerary, sorted secure storage for our extra baggage in their offices in Darjeeling whilst we were trekking and helping with the arrangements for our onwards travel. We had an excellent guide, Dawa Lama who had extensive knowledge of the route, along with the local flora & fauna! He was very interesting to talk to and taught us lots of the history of Darjeeling, Gorkhaland and Sikkim along with highlighting Kanchanjanghā and other peaks, arranging early morning excursions for the best views. He was also very helpful on day two when one of us was feeling the effects of altitude. Accommodation was basic but good (to be expected when staying at 3600m!) with plenty of extra blankets as required to keep warm. All the huts provided delicious food to fuel our days and fires to warm our nights! Would definitely recommend Ashmita and Dawa.

My partner and I did the Singalila Ridge Trek from Darjeeling in December 2022. We researched many companies and ultimately decided on Ashmita Trek and Tours because of their competitive price on there website and the positive reviews. The experience was amazing! We felt very safe. Our guide was very patient with us and made sure we where fed and rested. He was also very kind towards fellow trekkers anytime anyone needed help with directions or had general questions. The Trek itself is obviously a bucket list item. After we returned to Darjeeling, we had fairwell dinner with Subash the owner of Ashmita Trek, which was a great gesture on there behalf. We thank you Ashmita Trek and Tours for our great memorable Trek and hope to come back to do another Trek !
