Brief
The rugged grandeur of nature is best exemplified by the Sandakphu trek. The road runs through some of the most biologically diverse temperate forests in the nation because it is a portion of the Singalila range, which crosses India and Nepal. Four of the world's five highest peaks—Everest, Kanchenjunga, Makalu, and Lhotse—can be seen in a continuous, snow-covered arc from Sandakphu, the highest peak in the Singalila range.
Magnolias, rhododendrons, primulas, and other sub-alpine flowers abound in the area, which is stunningly beautiful. Along with more than 250 birds and several mammals, including the red panda, it is home to more than 400 different kinds of orchids.
