The Kanchenjunga region is home to the world’s third-highest peak, Mount Kanchenjunga (8,586 meters). It is a pristine and remote trekking destination that was opened to trekkers in 1988. Known for its breathtaking landscapes, the area has remained off the beaten path, making it a haven for those seeking solitude and unspoiled beauty.
Located in eastern Nepal, the region is named after the sacred Kanchenjunga mountain, which translates to "Five Treasures of the Snow" in Tibetan. Here, you can explore the Kanchenjunga North Base Camp and South Base Camp treks, or combine them into a circuit for the ultimate experience. These routes take you through lush rhododendron forests, high alpine meadows, and glaciers, with awe-inspiring views of towering peaks like Kanchenjunga, Jannu, and Kabru. Crossing high passes such as Sele La adds an element of challenge and adventure.
The Kanchenjunga region also offers a cultural journey into remote Himalayan lifestyles. You will encounter Rai, Limbu, and Sherpa communities. You should expect to stay in rustic tea houses, traverse rugged trails, and immerse yourself in nature’s grandeur.
