Kanchenjunga Base Camp Trek is the most scenic journey in the eastern part of the Himalayas of Nepal. Mountain Kanchenjunga is the third-highest peak in the world at an elevation of 8,586 meters. It is situated on the border between Nepal, India, and Tibet. The Kanchenjunga range has the massif’s five highest peaks.  It was first climbed on May 25th, 1955, by a British expedition group.

The circuit trek around Kanchenjunga is gaining popularity because basic rooms are available at the teahouse from September to November and April to May. We see the panoramic view of Kanchenjunga, Yalung Khang, Nepal Peak, and Jannu Himal. This trek offers high alpine vegetation and a variety of Rhododendrons, Fir, Pine, Home Lock, and Oak trees in the Kanchenjunga Conservation Area. This trek is also rich in wildlife, such as the Snow Leopard, Clouded Leopard, Blue Sheep, Wild Goat, Marmot, and Weasel.

We hike for a day to Jannu Himal Viewpoint from Khambachhen, a must-do in the Kanchenjunga region. It offers unforgettable scenery up close.

During the Kanchenjunga Base Camp Trek, we walked through the Rai and Limbu villages, which are also known as the mainstays of the British Gorkha Regiments. We spent two nights in Ghunsa—Botia village to ensure safe acclimatization before we pushed on to Kanchenjunga North Base Camp—Pangpengma, 5,160 meters.

After the North Base Camp, we return to Ghunsa village and head to the South of Kanchenjunga through the Sininon (Selele) La. There are spectacular views of Jannu Himal, Nepal Peak, Kanchenjunga I (8,586 meters), and its glacier from the Selele La. After Kanchenjunga South Base Camp, we walk uphill and downhill on a more adventurous, narrow trekking path to Khebang. From Khebang, we travel to Bhadrapur by jeep/bus and fly out to Kathmandu.

This trek requires special permits from the Nepal Immigration Trekking Department and Kanchenjunga Conservation Area hiking passes. A minimum of two International trekkers must obtain special permits in Kathmandu.
