Kanchenjunga Circuit Trek

Seeking a remote Himalayan adventure that will test your stamina and reward you with raw natural beauty? The Kanchenjunga Circuit Trek is made for experienced travelers and young adults eager for a challenge far from the well-trodden paths. This strenuous trekking tour journeys through the wild, little-explored eastern region of Nepal, home to diverse ethnic communities like the Sherpa, Limbu, Rai, and Tamang.

The trek covers both the south and north base camps of Mt. Kanchenjunga, the world’s third-highest peak. Along the way, you’ll traverse vibrant valleys, terraced farmlands, jungles of rhododendron and birch, shimmering waterfalls, and ancient glaciers. Culture seekers will relish visits to Buddhist monasteries such as Ramtang and Oktang, while wildlife enthusiasts may spot elusive creatures like the red panda or even the snow leopard.

This tour requires a good level of fitness, with long, physically demanding days, but the sense of discovery and serenity is unmatched. The region is protected within the Kanchenjunga Conservation Area—a joint effort by the World Wildlife Fund and the Nepali government—ensuring a pristine trekking environment.

The USP of this trip is its authentic, off-the-beaten-track adventure through one of Nepal’s most untouched and culturally rich corners, where every day brings a new vista and a deeper understanding of Himalayan life.
