One must pass through the temperate forest of rhododendron and magnolias to reach the summit of Singalila range. In terms of scenic beauty, it offers you the most fantastic view of snow covered range of Mt. Everest in Nepal, to the Kanchandzonga in Sikkim and chomolari in Bhutan. Apart from Rhododrendron and magnolias, there are countless varieties of magnolias, primulas, orchids and ferns in bloom in March and April.
