Seeing the 3rd highest mountain in the world up close, trek on glaciers, challenge high mountain passes, enjoy forests of rhododendron and see many of the native Nepali communities such as Sherpa, Limbu, Rai and Gurung.

Located in far Eastern Nepal, Kanchenjunga is one of the most remote and beautiful areas to trek and is home to the famous Gurkhas. Unused to foreign visitors, much of the area still lies shrouded in mystery and offers the adventurous trekker a multitude of areas to explore.

You will pass through picturesque villages interspersed with magnificent rhododendron forests as you climb towards the enormous Kanchenjunga massif. Abundant wildlife can be seen along the trail including musk deer, blue sheep, potentially snow leopard and, for the believer, the Yeti! Magnificent views of Everest, Makalu and Kanchenjunga as well as countless other mighty Himalayan peaks will make the trip truly memorable. Note that this trek can be shortened by 5 days by flying from Biratnagar to Taplejung.
