Sandakphu & the Singalila Ridge in June
The national park usually closes to trekkers from mid-June to mid-September, and the first half of June is wet, cloudy and leech-heavy anyway. The Land Rover track turns to mud. Maneybhanjan itself stays reachable by road, but there is no good reason to plan a Singalila trek now. Visit Darjeeling instead and come back in October.
Local tip: Check current status before you travel; closure dates are set by the forest department.
