Kanchenjunga Mountain (8,586 m) forms of Five Summits hence called ‘Five Treasures of the Great Snow’. This Crystal Clear Mountain in Nepal shares the border with Sikkim in India and is one of the most breathtaking mountains. Trek in Kanchenjunga Region is a journey on a less crowded path rewards us with a unique insight into the rural Nepalese lifestyle of Hindu and Buddhist people; Sherpa, Gurung, Rai and Limbu people in the Eastern Part of Nepal. We trek to the Kanchenjunga Conservation Area which covers area of 2,035 sq km is a home of many Flora and Fauna. This region has pristine Forests, Alpine Meadows and High-Altitude Wetlands are home to the endangered Snow Leopard and Red Panda, the vulnerable Himalayan Black Bear, Clouded Leopard and Assamese Monkey. During this incredible trek, we get opportunity to relish the panoramic views of Mt. Lhotse, Mt. Everest, Mt. Kanchenjunga, Mt. Makalu and many others.
Trekking to Kanchenjunga Base Camp starts with city flight to Bhadrapur and we drive to Ilam and to Taplejung. From Taplejung, we commence our trek by descending to Mitlung and follow the trail to Kanchenjunga Northern Base Camp called Pang Pema at an altitude of 5,200 m. On the way back, we return to Ghunsa and head right to Kanchenjunga South Base Camp called Oktang (4,610 m) crossing Sele La Pass at 4,720 m. We make a day trip from Ramche to South Base Camp and to Yalung Base Camp (4,500 m). On our way back from Ramche, we descend steep to Tseram leaving alpine landscape behind and cross several ridgelines with incredible views back up to the Himalayas. Then we continue to our trek starting point at Taplejung through dense forests, farm lands, and several villages. Then we drive to Bhadrapur for flight back to Kathmandu.
The best season for Kanchenjunga Base Camp Trek is Autumn and Spring. During our trek, we stay at tea houses/lodges which have been recently developed. This trek can be customized. If you have shorter days and want to explore only North Base Camp, we can trek to Ghunsa and to North Base Camp and follow the same way back to Taplejung. We don’t need to cross Sele La Pass which takes us to Ramche, South Base Camp and Yalung Base Camp. If you are considering South Base Camp only, we follow the same way which we are taking from Ramche on our way back to Taplejung.
