Kanchenjunga Trek

Kanchenjunga Trek or Kanchenjunga Base Camp Trek is one of the most rewarding and complete trekking experience the Himalayas has to offer in eastern Nepal. Decorated with some of the finest trails, travelers have the opportunity to take the first-hand experience of beautiful nature, amazing locals, and fantastic views of snow-capped mountains. The beauty of Kanchenjunga trek or Kanchenjunga Base Camp Trek combined with the authentic way of life here makes it one of the best moderate hidden treks around the world. We offer Kanchenjunga tea house trek which is more comfortable and comparatively cheaper in price .

Translating as ‘The five treasures of the high snow’ which signifies the five high peaks of the massif, Kanchenjunga boasts its position as the third highest mountain in the world at 8586 m. This fantastic trek takes you to the northern base camp (Pangpema) and the southern (Oktang) one of the magnificent Mt.Kanchenjunga. Starting from the cultural pit of Kathmandu, we will head towards the plains of Terai. Gradual ascends on windy hill highway passing by small settlements and tea gardens will lead us to Taplejung.

The Trek to the lap of Himalayas commences from here in the locally traveled trails. With patches of Rhododendron, whistling streams and many different constituents of nature, we will be blessed with mesmerizing sceneries every day. Waking up with the views of Kanchenjunga, Makalu and in clear weather even with a glimpse of Mt. Everest and Lhotse is out of this world. With high passes and patches of challenging paths, adventure is never too distant from the trail.
