    Ananda Sengupta, India - May 21, 2024

    We had an amazing and memorable trek of Sandakphu and Phalut on Singalila ridge for our family of 4 ( age ranging from 15 to 55) over 6 nights and 7 days organised by Mr Subhash Tamang of Ashmita Tours and Trek based out of Darjeeling. We were accompanied by our guide Mr Tenzing Tamang. While we carried about 5 to 7 kg in our rucksacks, remaining stuff was carried by a horse which was tended by a very young and enterprising man - Ashish or Azrod. Our trek started from Rimbick on Day 1 ( where we reached by car from Darjeeling same day morning). After reaching Sandakphu and Phalut we came back via Srikhola to Darjeeling. Each day's path was beautiful and different than the other. We soaked in the beauty of the thick forest, the hills - both covered by raining clouds and rising upto sunny blue sky, rhododendron flowers of 5-6 hues ( white, red, pink, purple, peach, lavender) yaks, green meadows, chirping of birds and cricket, gushing stream and ever smiling hill people ( mostly Nepalese / Tibetan originally) with Mongoloid feature who are very hard working and hospitable. Excepting at Sandakphu and Phalut we hardly met any other tourist on the way. We walked for hours with only our guide Tenzing ji amidst the stunnigly beautiful trails - very rarely meeting some local people. Tenzing ji was not just an instructor sharing the plan, giving us wake up calls and leading the way especially on the trails we found difficult, but he also took the role of a father figure, quickly arranging for tea/food as soon as we reached the homestay. We were really touched by his hospitality. He was meticulous in arranging for food, fruits, hot water, tea etc. He had a sharp and compassionate mind, always taking care of our small wishes, desires, conveniences on and off the trails. We spoke about nature, philosophy, spirituality, about how technology is being used by the Govt. for betterment of hardships faced in the lives of hill people. He had knowledge of birds and also told us about flora and fauna. The homestays where the 6 night stays were organised by Subhash ji of Ashmita Tours & Trek, were of local hill families who offered delicious and fresh food, mostly cooked from vegetables grown in their own fields.We talked about our next trek to the base camp of Kanchenjungha or Gochala trek. We felt that if we plan at all, it must be with Ashmita Trek of Subhas ji and we must have Tenzing ji as our guide. Short Itinerary : Day 01 : Trek from Rimbeek to Gurudhum 10km 7 hours Day 02: Trek from Gurudhum to Sandakphu 10km 9 hoursDay 03: Trek from Sandakphu to Moley 14km 9 hours.Day 04 : Moley to Phalut 7km trek 5 hoursDay 05: Phalut to Gorkhey 14km trek 7 hours Day 06 : Gorkhey to Timburey 14km 9 hour Day 07 : Timburey to Srikhola 5km 2 hourThank You Team Ashmita!

    A remarkable tour to Sandakphu jeep Safari The tour was arranged by the tour partner by providing nice hotels at Tumling, Sandakfu & Lepchajagat. Pemba was assisted us as guide. He is very nice in behaviour, gentle in nature and well conversant to the tour. I recommend for choosing Asmita Trek & Tours as tour partner.

    Judy S, Australia - November 13, 2023

    We did the Jeep tour 2 nights and 3 days to sandakphu. We were lucky, we had great sunrise views of the mountains at Tonglu and sandakphu. The scenery along the way was beautiful. Our guide Dawa Lama looked after us so well, counselling us about altitude sickness, which we didn’t get. We visited Chitrey on the way. The roads were rough for the last leg of the journey (road gangs are working on them, so they will improve) and our driver Sandeep drove skilfully and safely. We loved our Sandakphu trip.

    Robin Hooda, India - February 10, 2023

    The drive through the pine forest on the Darjeeling - Mirik Road, especially after Ghum was wonderful. We took a side road from Sukhia to reach Maneybhanjan. The road was bumpy but the pine forests made us forget all our troubles. The tour from Chitrey to Tonglu and to Tumling was done in a Landrover. It was wonderful. Ashmita Trek and Tours did everything possible to make our trip memorable. Subash personally accompanied us, and he is the Best guide you can have in this part. The views of the snow-capped mountains from Tonglu and the warm food at Neela Didi's Shikhar Lodge at Tumling are unforgettable.

    Bijan Bandyopadhyay, India - December 06, 2018

    I would like to convey our deepest appreciation to Mr Subash Tamang and our guide Binod for their wonderful support and guidance in planning and executing our trip to Lepchajagat and Tumling. I was very much impressed with the care ensured to a 75 years old person (myself) and 70 years old lady (my wife) . My wife was suffering from knee problem bur Binod ensured all care and attention but for which she could not have completed the trip. Also I was deeply impressed with Mr Tamang's advise not to go to Sandakfu if we have any back problem - since the last 10 KM or so is very very bumpy. Most of the tour operators are mostly interested in the pkg cost and not likely to give such advise. To sum up - I can recommebd Asmita Tek and Tours for any trip .
