You wake before dawn and walk into a shoulder of sky—thin, cold air, rhododendron trunks black against a pale horizon. The Singalila Ridge narrows underfoot and the world opens: a row of jagged white summits peeks above cloud, the first light touching Everest, Lhotse and Kanchenjunga like metal. Over six days you move from Darjeeling’s tea-scented slopes onto a succession of ridgelines, carrying just what you need and a guide who knows every hairpin and hamlet.
