Unlocking natural and historical jewels

Singalila National Park lies nestled within the eastern Himalayas and takes its name from the remarkable Singalila spur, stretching from Mount Kanchenjunga in the north to the Gangetic Plains in the south. First established as a wildlife sanctuary and later designated a national park in 1992, this pristine wilderness boasts an illustrious past; originally serving as an ancient trekking route between Manebhanjan to Sandakphu and Phalut attracting adventurers for centuries!

At first leased from King of Sikkim by the British Government in 1882, Singalila National Park eventually became part of Darjeeling District. Since its initiation, this lush expanse has been an explorer's delight - hosting Jules Jacot-Guillarmod's first mountaineering expedition and even drawing famed occultist Aleister Crowley himself!
