“This is my first trek experience to Kanchenjunga and it was just amazing and great with all the mountains,wilderness,flora and fauna,local people and life style and i must say it has been my best trek up to now comparing to others. And i hope to do this same trek with my family next year with the local operator.

“Kanchenjunga circuit trek leads you through the wilderness of the Kanchenjunga conservation area. On this trek, you can get magnificent views of numerous mountains including the 3rd highest Kanchenjunga. The area is trekked less by tourists and gives a very rare opportunity to experience the joy of a true wilderness.”

Kanchenjunga Base Camp Trek - Overview

Kanchenjunga is situated in far Eastern Nepal and lies within the 2,035 square kilometers Kanchenjunga Conservation Area. This part of Nepal has never been densely populated and neither has it ever received many trekking tourists. The area is therefore an absolute haven for many rare Himalayan species, including snow leopards, red pandas, and blue sheep. This trek delivers true pristine landscapes.

Via the 5,160 m Lapsang La pass the 4 week trek will take you through both the northern and southern base camp of Kanchenjunga. On the entire trail there will be stunning and remote mountain terrain because in addition to the Kanchenjunga peak, four subsidiary summits exceed 8000 m and more than some twenty peaks exceed 7,000 m.

Kanchenjunga Base Camp - Safety considerations

All trekking agencies available at Bookmundi.com take safety seriously and are assessed on their safety standards after every trek, via trekkers’ feedback. They will therefore go through safety procedures with you during your pre-trek meeting about the Kanchenjunga trek:

  • This is a high altitude trek and therefore careful acclimatisation is needed.
  • Most of the Kanchenjunga trekking is done in +4,000 m and without guest houses nearby. Please therefore be sure to bring enough warm clothes, especially during winter season (mid Nov - mid Feb). Your selected trekking agency will brief you in greater detail about this.
