KANCHENJUNGA TREK

Kanchenjunga is on the far eastern boarder of Nepal and was opened to trekkers in 1988. This remote trek to the base of Kanchenjunga (8,586 m), the world's third highest peak, offers close-up views of both the north and south aspects of the peak leading through lush valleys to alpine yak grazing pastures and some of the most remote rails in Eastern Nepal.

This trek takes us from the tropical lowlands to the high glaciers and the surrounding peaks of Kanchenjunga, Kambachen, Yalung kang and Jannu. Starting with a descent through terraced fields and forests to the Tamur river, the trail passes through many villages before gaining altitude to alpine terrain around Ghunsa, Kanchenjunga Glacier, Lhonak and Pangpema (5,140 m), the highest point of this trek. We descend through a fascinating landscape and terraced fields to the trek end point - Taplejung.
