Itinerary

Kanchenjunga south base camp trekking is one of the popular destinations in Kanchenjunga region. Mt. Kanchenjunga (8586 m), the third highest mountain in the world is one the unspoiled trekking trails in eastern part of Nepal in the border of Nepal and Sikkim (India). The trekking to the south base camp offers varieties of landscapes, cultures and panoramic views of four highest mountains including Mt. Everest, Mt. Lhotse, Mt. Makalu, and Mt. Kanchenjunga .

Kanchenjunga South Base Camp With regards to the mountains themselves, in addition to the main peak of Kanchenjunga, there are four subsidiary summits exceeding 8,000m, the most important being Kanchenjunga West, also known as Yalung Kang (8,505m). Also found in this area are approximately twenty peaks exceeding 7,000m, the highest being Kambachen (7,903m), Janu (7,710m), Jongsong (7,483m), Kabru (7,353m), Tent Peak (7,365m) and the Twins (7,350m). In addition there are numerous peaks over 6,000m. Amongst this impressive cluster of peaks are five major glacial systems. Of these, Zumu, Talung and Rathong flow into Sikkim while to the west, the Kanchenjunga and Yalung glaciers flow into the mighty Tamor River of Nepal.
This just adds to the fact trekking in Kanchenjunga is an unforgettable experience where trekkers get right into the heart of the remote, less trekked, Himalaya mountains and valleys. With the recent addition to the trekking map, as well as other, remote areas so there is the opening up of more tea houses on the route. While this is a positive for the local communities, now would be a good time to go to Kanchenjunga before more trekkers ‘discover’ the area

Manaslu Circuit Trek

5.0(34 reviews)

This spectacular and isolated circular trek skirts around formidable Manaslu, the eighth-highest mountain in the world. We follow the mighty Buri Gandaki River as it narrows into a spectacular gorge, passing through tiny villages perched on valley sides. Eventually, the gorge opens out into alpine meadows inhabited by a cluster of Tibetan communities below the north face of Manaslu. After a steady ascent through increasingly remote mountain country, we take on the long crossing of the Larkya Pass, with views of the snow-capped peaks of Himalchuli, Manaslu, Cheo Himal and Himlung Himal, before descending through forest to join the main Annapurna Circuit route. Selected departures are led by Valerie Parkinson, Wanderlust World Guide Award winner (Best Tour Leader, 2021), celebrating 40 years of guiding Himalayan expeditions. See Dates & Prices.

Annapurna Circuit Trek

5.0(34 reviews)

The Annapurna Circuit – considered the iconic trek in Nepal – is legendary in the hiking community for its unrivalled variety of landscapes. However, few trekking trips complete the route, often skipping the final leg, which means missing out on deserted trails and unforgettable nights in quiet teahouses. We just couldn’t do that. Join us to tackle the full lap, crossing high trails and the formidable Thorong La while enjoying superb views of the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri mountains and the ever-changing scenery. Based in teahouses throughout, we spend time in villages inhabited by many of Nepal’s different peoples, both Buddhist and Hindu. Selected departures are led by Valerie Parkinson, Wanderlust World Guide Award winner (Best Tour Leader, 2021), celebrating 40 years of guiding Himalayan expeditions. See Dates & Prices.

Manaslu Circuit Trek

5.0(51 reviews)

The Manaslu trek is one of Nepal's best treks. If you have 17 days available for trekking in Nepal, we highly recommend this trek. It is challenging, especially the day of crossing the Larke pass at 5,135 m but if you are in reasonable shape, determined, and able to walk 6 hours a day, you can do this trek. Manaslu is the eighth highest peak in the world, bordering the Gorkha and Manang districts in Nepal. It is just 64km East of the previously popular Annapurna treks. Literally, Manaslu is derived from Sanskrit with manasa means “Mountain of the spirit". The Manaslu region encompasses everything from sub tropical foothills to the arid Trans-Himalaya high pastures bordering Tibet. The Manaslu trek opened only in 1991. Its popularity increased significantly when teahouses become available around 2009. The Manaslu region has no roads or alike and the trekking trails are excellent. This combined with a high variation in altitude starting from around 700 m and getting up to 5,135 m is the reason why the Manaslu trek today is preferred over the Annapurna trek. After a 6 hours bus ride from Kathmandu, the trek begins Arughat. En-route the trek, you will not only see spectacular mountain scenery but can also visit several monasteries. If you have 19 days available, you will not regret choosing this trek. If you are in doubt as to physical fitness we highly recommend adding a porter. 1 porter can carry up to 30 kgs and can thus be shared between 2 people. We are looking forward to taking you on a fantastic trekking adventure.

Everest Base Camp Trek - Private Comfort Camps

5.0(57 reviews)

All-inclusive trek to Everest Base Camp, staying in private Comfort Camps instead of standard teahouses. The Everest Base Camp Trek is a fully supported guided trek through Nepal's Khumbu region to Everest Base Camp (5,364m / 17,598ft), including the ascent of Kala Pattar (5,545m / 18,192ft) - the finest viewpoint in the region for Mount Everest (8,848m / 29,032ft), Lhotse (8,516m / 27,940ft) and Nuptse (7,861m / 25,791ft). No technical climbing experience is required, but you should be fit, active and comfortable with sustained days of walking on steep mountain terrain. What sets this trek apart from standard teahouse itineraries is where you sleep. Most nights on the trail are spent in World Expeditions' private comfort camps, set apart from the main trail, with standing-height tents, raised beds with thick mattresses and pillows, a heated dining room and composting sit-down toilets. The remaining nights are in handpicked lodges in key villages (two are basic due to limited options), with a comfortable hotel at either end in Kathmandu. The itinerary is paced deliberately for safe altitude gain rather than speed, with dedicated acclimatisation time built in rather than treated as optional. Guides are trained in remote wilderness first aid and carry a group medical kit and a portable altitude chamber. The route's gradual sleeping-altitude profile is what gives trekkers the best chance of reaching Base Camp feeling well, and it is the single biggest difference between a rushed itinerary and a successful one. The trail follows the classic route through the Sherpa heartland along the Dudh Kosi valley, with time in Namche Bazaar (3,440m / 11,286ft), the trading hub of the Khumbu, and at Thyangboche Monastery (3,860m / 12,664ft), the spiritual centre of the region. Beyond the treeline it climbs past Dingboche (4,360m / 14,304ft) on its alpine plateau beneath Ama Dablam (6,812m / 22,349ft), then follows the Khumbu Glacier to Gorak Shep (5,164m / 16,942ft), the last settlement before Base Camp. Everything you need on the trail is included: all meals prepared fresh by a dedicated trekking kitchen team, treated drinking water supplied hot and cold each day to remove the need for single-use plastic, return flights to the mountain airstrip at Lukla, all national park fees and trekking permits, and a gear pack containing a four-season down sleeping bag, fleece liner, down or fibre-fill jacket and a duffel carried by our porters. Groups are small and led by an expert local leader with a professional Nepalese crew. World Expeditions has been operating treks in Nepal since 1975. Our porters receive fair wages, insurance, protective clothing, food and shelter, and carry loads within set weight limits.
