Itinerary

For trekkers who crave solitude and raw Himalayan beauty, the Kanchenjunga Base Camp Trek offers a remote and challenging journey to the foot of the world’s third highest mountain. Traverse Nepal’s far northeastern wilderness, passing through untouched forests, high passes, and traditional villages. Marvel at sweeping views of the Kanchenjunga massif, Makalu, Everest, and more, while keeping an eye out for rare wildlife like snow leopards and mask deer. Cross the dramatic Mirgin-La pass and trek alongside glaciers before reaching Pang Pema and the awe-inspiring base camp itself. With its untouched landscapes and tranquil trails, this trek is perfect for young adults and seniors seeking an authentic, off-the-beaten-path adventure. The unique selling point: unparalleled remoteness and access to Nepal’s most pristine mountain scenery.
