Kanchenjunga Circuit Trekking-28 Days

Trip Introduction

Trek to the base camp of world's third highest mountain, Kanchenjunga. The Kanchenjunga Circuit Trekking package has been designed for the adventurers looking for real challenges in the less travelled region. Located in the Eastern Nepal the border of Nepal and Sikkim, Kanchenjunga is the most easterly of the 8,000 meter Himalayan peaks and consists of four separate summits - Main Summit, Middle Summit, South Summit & Yalung Kang or West Summit. Kanchenjunga is also less explored than other famous Himalaya regions of Nepal such as Everest and Annapurna. On the way, besides the majestic Himalayas and waterfalls, you will pass through thickets of rhododendron and other highland forests. Also enjoy the hospitality of different ethnic groups, and encounter various highland flora and fauna.
Since, the Suketar Airport of Taplejung is not operational these days, we fly to Bhadrapur and then drive to Suketar, our trek start point. From Suketar, via Mitlung and Ghunsa, we climb to the north base camp, Pangpema. Then we retrace our path to Ghunsa and head toward  Yalung Glacier/Oktang. While returning, instead of going to Taplejung again, we descend to Thorpu from where we drive to Birtamod. Next day's flight to Kathmandu completes our adventures in the Kanchenjugha region.

Our other popular trekking packages include: Annapurna Circuit Trek - 21 days, Everest Base Camp Trek - 19 days, Manasulu Circuit Trek - 20 days
