Sandakphu, the highest point, lies on the borders of two different countries – India and Nepal. An interesting point is that Sandakphu is the highest point in the two states in which it lies – West Bengal in India and Mechi in Nepal.

Sandakphu, being the highest peak in West Bengal, offers grand views of the world’s tallest peaks. Lhotse and Makalu, the fourth and fifth highest peaks in the world stand tall at 8,516m and 8,463m, trying to outdo the world’s tallest peak. But how can they? After all, the Everest stands between them, towering over everything! On the other hand, Kangchenjunga, the third highest peak, stands with its family at 8,586m.
