Mt. Kanchenjunga (alt. 8,586m) is the third highest mountain in the world at the Nepal and Sikkim border. This route is relatively un-trekked through unspoiled villages and wonderful environment. Your trip gets you to the South and the North Base Camp providing the best views of the area.

 

We have chosen an even more remote return route through untouched villages surrounded by rhododendron, oak and pine forests before joining the main trail and flying back to Kathmandu.

 

This is the longest trek in Far East Nepal. The route is remote, unspoiled and offers one of the most majestic views of the surrounding peaks. You cross cardamom farming villages in lowest altitude, crossing virgin land rich in flora and fauna with splendid panoramic views of the Yalung glacier as you trek up to higher altitude.

 

You fly from Kathmandu to Biratnagar and Taplejung and start your trek with reasonable gains to adjust your body to altitude. The trail leads you to Rhododendron forests, deep lush valleys at the feet of some of the highest mountains of the world. It is a land of contrasts. A trek far from the classic trails especially designed for those who love the wild.

 

You trek to Base Camp South and North and make the circuit of Kanchenjunga hiking along sharp rocky faces covered by snow. You will feel very small and perhaps humble when facing those massive slopes rising to the deep blue sky. Kanchenjunga is an amazing moment in a virgin land.

 

 

This Kachenjunga Base Camp Trek is suitable for all very fit trekkers who can walk 5/7 hours a day with a light daypack. You must be in excellent physical condition as some days are quite long and the hike is more arduous with the altitude. The trail is a good trek, but occasionally it will be rough, bumpy and rocky with high altitude passes to cross. Kachanjunga Base Camp Trek is a non-technical trek but impose long walking hours to villages up to alt. 5000m and trekking parts along steep slopes on mountain ridges.
