Along with mind-blowing views of the mountains, you also get to witness the mesmerizing confluence of the rivers Kanaka and Teesta. Singhik is not as popular or explored as the other regions of Sikkim, which is why it is an ideal pick for backpackers and trekkers looking to spend days of uninterrupted serenity within the laps of nature. There are several short treks that start from Singhik, each one more beautiful than the other!
