Kanchenjunga Base Camp Trek

🏔️ Kanchenjunga Base Camp Trek – Overview

The Kanchenjunga Base Camp Trek is a remote and less-traveled trekking route in eastern Nepal that takes you to the base of Mount Kanchenjunga (8,586m) – the third highest mountain in the world. This adventure offers unparalleled wilderness, vibrant Tibetan-influenced culture, and awe-inspiring Himalayan scenery. The trek is ideal for experienced trekkers seeking a true off-the-beaten-path experience.

Traversing through lush forests, alpine meadows, glacial rivers, and traditional Rai, Limbu, and Sherpa villages, you will witness the pristine beauty of the Kanchenjunga Conservation Area, home to rare wildlife like the red panda and snow leopard.
