Kanchenjunga Trek

Our 21 days Kanchenjunga trek is a trip to the northern and southern base camp of the third highest peak in the world Mt. Kanchenjunga (8,586 m). This peak lies in the eastern border of Nepal and towers over the Indian state of Sikkim. Kanchenjunga trekking trail is another great trekking trails in Nepal providing excellent panoramic view of the Himalayas including four highest mountain in the world Everest, Lhotse, Makalu and Kanchenjunga, different landscape, interesting cultures and few people around.

This region was opened to trekkers only in 1989 although people have trekked in the area in connection with mountaineering expeditions since the turn of the century. Kanchenjunga trek starts from the southeastern corner of Nepal which is at an altitude of 70 m, passes through some wonderful remote villages and ends up to the northern base camp of Kanchenjunga 5,1,50 m which is one of the greatest mountain masses in the world. We then retrace back the same way till Gunsa then cross the three passes to Yalung Valley to visit southern base camp of Kanchenjunga. The foothill of Kanchenjunga is home to Rai and Limbus whereas higher up Tibetans and Sherpas graze herds of yak. Kanchejunga trek is one of Nepal’s least trekked areas and certainly one of the best.
