Tumling is a tiny village or a hamlet in the eastern Himalayas, located at an altitude of 9,600ft, and on the way to the popular trekkers’ destination Sandakphu. From Manebhanjan where the trek or the Jeep safari starts, Tumling is at a distance of about 13kms. As you approach Tumling, you will notice small cottages and huts from a distance.
