Kanchenjunga Base Camp Trek

The Kanchanjunga Trek is an adventurous and remote trekking route in eastern Nepal, leading trekkers to the base of Kanchenjunga, the third-highest mountain in the world. The trek offers stunning views of Kanchenjunga, along with surrounding peaks like Makalu and Jannu, and takes you through diverse landscapes, including lush forests, alpine meadows, and glacial lakes. It’s a less-crowded route, providing a peaceful and pristine experience compared to more popular trekking areas like Everest or Annapurna.

Typically taking 18 to 22 days, the trek involves passing through remote villages, where trekkers can experience the cultures of ethnic groups like the Rai, Limbu, and Sherpas. The trek reaches both the South Base Camp (4,140 meters) and the North Base Camp (5,143 meters) of Kanchenjunga, offering breathtaking close-up views of the mountain. Due to its high-altitude terrain and challenging conditions, the trek is best suited for experienced trekkers looking for a true Himalayan adventure.
