Kanchenjunga Base Camp trek is the most incredible trek in eastern part of Nepal, the foot of Kanchenjunga at (8,598m.) is the world's third highest mountain located between Nepal and India border state of Sikkim, this classic Nepal trek visits both the South and North Base Camps of this incredible mountain. The trek starts in the tropical lowlands at Taplejung from where we head south through lush forests and neatly terraced hillsides towards the mighty Himalaya. The views become more spectacular the higher we go and as we trek onto the glacial moraines the huge bulk of Kanchenjunga towers high above.
After flying to Bhadrapur airport we drive to Ilam and Phungling Bazar, Taplejung where from we start at low altitude walking through the rice field and villages of the Tarai Newar, Rai, Limbu and Chhetri people. Only opened to trekking groups in 1988, the Kanchenjunga region offers the keen walker a unique opportunity to visit an pristine mountain wilderness, passing through seldom visited villages en route and ending with some of the most impressive high mountain scenery on earth. Trails back with spectacular mountain scenery as we gradually descend to Taplejung and flight back to Kathmandu from Bhadrapur.
