Mt. Kanchenjunga South to North Base Camp Trekking
Trekking in to the base camp of Kanchenjunga, world’s third highest peak, starts from Taplejung in East Nepal. The trek starting point is reached by Jeep ride from Bhadrapur airport after short flight from Kathamndu. The area is famous, not only for seeing and walking on the base and high passes of one of the biggest mountains on earth but also given the cultural insights of the local ethnic Limbu and Sherpa people. The area is also enriched by vast bio-diversity with many species of birds, and rare wildlives like the Red Panda and the Snow Leopard in the protected site of the Kanchenjunga Conservation area. It is one of the less trekked areas in the Himalaya thus one can have more peaceful moments while crossing the breathtaking high passes and beautiful trails. The trek is best suited to those who have deep interest in traveling in remote, rugged places that exposes one to both culture and natural beauties. The itinerary we have presented here is a plan only. It can be customized.
