Maney Bhanjang, Gateway to Sandakphu | Local Guides • Homestays • Authentic Himalayan Experiences
Sandakphu and Beyond began with a simple belief — that the Himalayas are best experienced through the eyes of the people who call these mountains home. What started as a small local guiding initiative in Maney Bhanjang has grown into a trusted trekking and adventure company, connecting travelers from across the world to the soul of the Singalila region.
For generations, our families have lived along these ridges, walked these trails, and shared stories around warm hearts in the villages you visit today. Trekking was never just a profession for us — it was a way of life. Over the years, as more travelers sought authentic Himalayan experiences, we stepped forward to create a platform that celebrates local knowledge, responsible adventure, and sustainable community-based tourism.
Today, Sandakphu and Beyond stands not just as a trekking operator but as a bridge between travelers and the Himalayas — ensuring that each journey leaves behind memories for the visitor and meaningful impact for the community.
Sandakphu and Beyond is a dedicated team of local Himalayan guides, naturalists, and travel planners committed to delivering meaningful, community-driven trekking experiences in the Singalila region. Based in Maney Bhanjang, we combine deep-rooted regional knowledge with modern safety practices to offer treks and tours that are immersive, responsible, and memorable.
We are more than a tour company — we are caretakers of these mountains. Every member of our team has grown up walking the trails of Sandakphu, exploring the forests of Singalila National Park, and observing the wildlife that thrives here. This connection allows us to guide travelers with authenticity, insight, and genuine passion.
Our mission is simple: to promote sustainable adventure tourism that benefits local communities while giving travelers a true taste of Himalayan culture, nature, and hospitality. Whether you’re chasing panoramic sunrise views, hoping to spot the rare Red Panda, or seeking quiet village life, we ensure every journey is crafted with care, integrity, and respect for the environment.
At Sandakphu and Beyond, we are more than a trekking company – we are people of these mountains. Based in Maney Bhanjang, the historic gateway to the Sandakphu–Phalut route, our team is made up of local guides, homestay hosts, drivers, and community partners who have lived on these trails for generations.
We are here to make your Himalayan adventure unforgettable.
The trails of Sandakphu and the old British-era route have always been part of our daily life. We grew up walking the same paths used by early mountaineers, traders, forest rangers, and explorers. Over time, we wanted to create a space where travelers could experience these landscapes the way locals do — slowly, respectfully, and meaningfully.
