Why April here

A high ridge-walk along the Nepal border with constant big-mountain views, from the west-Sikkim trailheads.

The Singalila trek follows the forested ridge that marks the Sikkim-Nepal border, linking high meadows and view passes with a running panorama of the Kanchenjunga massif and, on clear days, Everest. Protected-area trek permits apply via registered agencies.
