The only place on earth where you can see four of the world's five highest peaks in a single panorama — Everest, Kanchenjunga, Lhotse, and Makalu. Walking along the India-Nepal border ridge through Singalila National Park, this trek rewards with the famous "Sleeping Buddha" silhouette formed by the Kanchenjunga range. Rhododendron forests explode in color during spring.
