Phalut

The pictures don't do justice to what your eyes can see. You get to see the mighty Kanchenjunga up close and Everest at a fair distance. I'd definitely recommend people to take additional days to hike to Phalut if you are fit and capable. You'll appreciate the view more when you have walked for it.

Do not expect a luxurious stay.

So, better to experience the whole range at sunrise and sunset from Sandakphu. And if you are lucky then you might get to experience both from Phalut also.

If there is one place, everybody should go before they die, Phalut is one of them. More precisely, Phalut top which is another 1.5 km upward hike from the GTA trekkers' hut. Then you will arrive there which is heaven to me. From there, you can see the famous "sleeping buddha" comprising of Kanchenjunga, Kumbhakarn and Pandim. If you look left, you can see Everest, Makalu, Lohtse and Nuptse and many other peaks.

Phalut top is the view point between the India-Nepal border. From here, Mount Kanchenjunga, the third highest peak in the world, can be seen in a wonderful way. As one of the monsters is standing in front of someone.

Very few spots in the world can give you views of eight-thousander peaks like this. Even fewer of them would be accessible via a moderate trek.

Amazing place to view Kanchanjangha.
You should stay a night here and see the view of Kanchanjangha at earli morning. If you coming from Sandakphu then coming after 10:00 AM is not good get a satisfactory view of Kanchanjangha.

We went to a gorkhey phalut trek
One of the best experiences possible.
Gorkhey to phatul is approximately 15 kms.

The experience of phalut treking from Molley is very good, but it is better not to trek if the weather is bad.

The best place in the Sandakphu-Phalut trekking route, as it allows to take the closest look at the Sleeping Buddha (Mt. Kanchenjunga). Also when the sky's clear you can even witness the four of world's top 5 peaks (viz. Mt. Everest, Mt. Kanchenjunga, Mt. Lhotse I and Mt. Makalu) and the "the three sisters".

Beautiful place along your trekking route. Enjoy the view and breadth taking sunrise on a clear fog less day.
Accommodation is very very basic. GTA Phalut has 2 common toilets only, whereas the wildlife accommodation has attached toilets for small groups upto 6 persons.

Wonderful view of Kanchenjunga and Everest. Only two places for night stay. GTA trekker's hut and forrest department trekker's hut. This is a elll known trek route. Also accessible by 4 wheel drive vehicles, available from Manebhanjan, Darjeeling district, West Bengal, India.

It's an awesome palce. Most nearest to Kanchonjongha. If luck favors you will habe a fabulous view of Kanchonjongha, Everest and other mountains in that same belt. I loved it.

Start walking as early as possible if you wanna go to phalut. A great place to see the unbelievable view of Kanchenjunga range. If weather is clear, you can get the best view od your life, like what we get. Weather is always unpredictable. So don't be sad if it is full of fog. There's only one place for staying, that's GTA Hut. You've to book it previously. Place looks really spooky and hunted but trust me there's no problem at all. Always carry extra candles because electricity is unavailable. But you gonna enjoy the place. For best view, go up to the next mountain, also known as viewpoint. Straight go up in the early morning and enjoy the breathtaking views. You gonna love it, trust me.

Very beautiful. But the best time is Sep - November

Everyone should visit this place... The landscape is awesome... But u should take food with u as there is no good restaurant there...

Magical Place! One gets heavenly views of Himalayas from here. The Mighty Kanchenjunga looks so so close from here that the feeling is surreal. The full sleeping Buddha is clearly visible.
Weather is unpredictable with a strong wind throughout the day. Do visit especially by trekking, it will surely be one of the most memorable experiences of ur life!

Beautiful place. Roads are very dangerous. Not recommended for travellers with vehicle.

A place of heavenly scenic beauties. One of paradises for mountain lovers

Phalut is another top view point of mount Everest and others peak.From Sandakphu to phalut is only 19km far away.
