Many people have described the Kanchenjunga trek as the finest trekking route in Nepal. It is a long trek going deep into the remote mountain ranges on Nepal’s border with Sikkim and Tibet. The trail explores the areas around Kanchenjunga the second highest mountain in Nepal and the third highest mountain in the world (once thought to be the highest among the world’s giants).
The mountain is part of the Great Himalaya Range. The Kanchenjunga massif is in the form of a gigantic cross, the arms of which extend north, south, east, and west. This recently opened Kanchenjunga region routes offer the chance to discover absolutely unspoiled highlands wilderness. In Tibetan, ‘Kanchenjunga’ means ‘the five treasure houses of snow’, which gives you some idea of what to expect when visiting the area. The Kanchenjunga conservation area (20,35Sq km) extends into protected areas in Sikkim and Tibet, and comprises beautiful and unspoiled wilderness. The area is snow leopard territory, but the reclusive predator shares the unbounded forests with the Himalayan black bear and the Assamese macaque, musk deer and red panda among others. Cascading waterfalls, lush vegetation and thousands of species of plants await the trekker. More than 2,000 different flowering plants have been recorded in the Kanchenjunga area and in the springtime some of the richest rhododendron forests in Nepal can be seen.
Out travel expert was very helpful during my planning stages when I made multiple enquiries regarding my itinerary. I also wish to mention the warm hospitality of all the staff at the tour company, my wife and I had a wonderful time and we will return soon.
If you're planning to do a trek in Nepal, this local travel specialist is the way to go! I recently completed the Everest Base Camp Trek with them and had the most amazing experience. As a solo female traveler, I wanted to make sure to use a reputable company that I felt comfortable with and this agency far exceeded all of my expectations. They were extremely professional and quick to respond to any of the questions I had before the trip. Everything was so organized, from airport pickup/ drop off to the daily itinerary of the trek itself. My guide, Dipak, was also amazing! He truly went above and beyond to make sure that I had the trip of a lifetime. He was so knowledgeable about the region and about high altitude trekking in general. I felt extremely taken care of the entire time and also felt like I had a new best friend! He offered to help take photos and videos throughout the trek, which was amazing and even put together daily videos of each days highlights. I was able to truly just take the whole experience in. I hope to be able to do another trek with this agency and Dipak in the future!

I just finished a customized extended 19 day trek around Manaslu. My local guide Tsiring used his extraordinary familiarity with the area to include two overnight home-stays and five days of hiking on unique trails away from the standard route around the mountain.

Very responsive and informative in emails! We had our trip planned smoothly by Ganesh. Our guide Roshan is helpful and funny! Had a great trip to Mohare Danda end of June. Will definitely come back when it's not monsoon season :)
Manaslu Trek is a well-loved trekking route, for good reason. Pristine mountain views, rich culture and genuine adventure sum up a trek experience around Manaslu. Opened in 1992, this area offers a combination of rich culture heritage, unsurpassed beauty and biological diversity.
At 8163 meters, Manaslu is the 8th highest peak in the world and is located near the border between Nepal and Tibet. The name Manaslu means "the Spirit-Mountain" in the local dialect, referring to the benevolent and strong deity which dwells within. The Tibetan enclave of Nupri, north of Manaslu at the head of the Buri Gandaki, was closed to foreigners for years on account of its proximity to Tibet. The area was surreptitiously opened in 1991, but it took several years for the word to get out, keeping the area free from hordes of tourists.
If you are looking for a taste of real, extreme trekking in Nepal where you can experience the most breathtaking mountain scenery on earth, then look no further than the circuit of Manaslu!
I had Mardi Himal trekking with my parter few month ago. This trek was booked from this local operator as one of my friend recommended this trek. Support from this trekking agency was great from the beginning. They provided all the necessary equipment required for this trek. The arrangement was great. Mr Sujan kept checking on us. Guide Kamal was amazing and has great sense of humour. We successfully completed this trekking. The tour operator and its team is highly recommended.
