Kanchanjunga Trekking |
 |
|
This isolated
trek takes place in Eastern
Nepal which is the home to Mt
Kanchenjunga, the third highest
peak in Nepal. At 8596 meters
this massive peak dominates the
southern range of the Himalayas.
This section of Nepal has only
been open to trekking since
1988, which explains its
richness of traditional culture.
This is one of the longer treks
we offer |
 |
|
|
and has many
possibilities for extra days to
explore different areas that are
surrounded by the great
mountains of eastern Nepal. The
Kanchangunga area has a
profusion of high summits of
which three are above 8,000
meters and 11 above 7,000
meters.
Your trekking route is drained
by Tamur River that meets Arun
below Mulghat. Numerous glaciers
feed the river. The glaciers
north of the main peak are
clockwise Nupchu, Lhonak,
Chichima, Gimsung, Pyramid,
Kanchenjunga and Ramtang. West
and South of the main peak are
Kumbhakarna (Jannu), Yamatari
and Yalung glaciers.
Kangbachenga (4038) in Ghunsa
valley and Walungchung (3,200m)
in
Tamur valley are the highest
settlements in the area. The
latter was an important trading
centre between the towns of
Darjeeling and Tipta La in
Tibet. The only access to the
Kanchenjunga area is a road link
to Basantapur and a direct air
link to the town of Taplejung
bazaar. Length of Trek:

average hiking per day 5-6 hrs
