Sacred Himalayan Landscape
The Sacred Himalayan Landscape is part of the initiation of the World Wildlife Federation (WWF) that 'taps into the spiritual beliefs and conservation ethics of local communities to restore essential habitats and protect endangered species'. WWF has cooperated with the three governments of Nepal, India and Bhutan to preserve the fragile 'complex mosaic of biodiversity' and 'achieve conservation while creating sustainable livelihoods in the Sacred Himalayan Landscape'.
Sandakphu / Sandakfu (3636 m; 11929 ft) is the highest peak in the state of West Bengal, India. It is situated at the edge of the Singalila National Park in Darjeeling district on the West Bengal-Nepal border, and is the highest point of the Singalila Ridge.
The trek along the Singalila Ridge to Sandakphu and Phalut is one of the most popular ones in the Eastern Himalayas due to the grand vistas of the Kangchenjunga range and the Everest range which can be seen from the ridge, and also for the seasonal wildflower blooms, red panda populations and birding.
