Phoktey Dara Trek is a unique combination of walking in the Barsey Sanctuary in Sikkim and traversing the Singalila Ridge which forms the border between India and Nepal. Its a wonderous combination of best of both the treks - an opportunity to walk in the jungles home to diverse flora and fauna of the Himalayan region that Sikkim is known for and enjoying the stunning views of Kangchendzonga and surounding mountains from the Singalila Ridge. It is an ideal trek for beginners looking for a camping experience in the region while staying completely away from the crowds. On a clear day, the grand panorama from Phoktey Dara can give you views of Everest, Lhotsey and Makalu on the west. Picturesque campsites, a chance to experience rhododendron bloom if trekking in the spring season and great views make this trek a brilliant choice for those looking to explore the region.
