Overview of Kanchenjunga Base Camp Trek

Kanchenjunga Base Camp Trek begins from Tamur River through the trail along the riverside beneath the lush green Pipal trees. Modern etiquette has left the Kanchenjunga conservation area untouched. Ethnic Limbu culture, known for coining the recipe of Tongba, dominates the population. The high terrain is harsher, whereas the lower new oak and rhododendron forests give trekkers a clean and fresh ambiance.

This forest shelters more than 250 wildlife species, including birds. Grazing yaks give unique looks as their eyes follow the trekkers as they move forward. High passes such as the Mirgin-La pass, situated at 4725m above sea level, provide the mouth gaping views of Makalu, Chamlang, and Everest.

Kanchenjunga Base Camp Trek lies in the Kanchenjunga Conservation Area, a protected area in the eastern Himalayan region. Kanchenjunga trekking was first attempted in 1979, and it was a British mountaineer said that he felt like heaven on earth walking the trails. Kanchenjunga trekking leads the trekkers to the world’s third tallest mountain (8586m). Kanchenjunga means ‘Five Treasures of the Great Snow,’ derived from the structure of five summits that make up an entire Kanchenjunga mountain.

Trip Detail Information

Accommodation

Kanchenjunga base camp trek is a moderate difficulty trek requiring reasonable fitness, just like any other trek in Nepal. Kanchenjunga trek can be completed solely by camping alone, but it will add additional weight to your back during the daytime while carrying it. Tea houses are also available and are warm and cozy to spend the nights at. Tea house saves money, and the added load of the tent will be avoided. Provide typical Nepalese staple food and other continental breakfast and dinner menus. During the trekking season, carrying a tent is a wiser deed. Porters at Taplejung provide service throughout the year. Agencies facilitate the renting of porters, which ensures the responsibility and reliability of the person accompanying the trekkers. During the trekking season, renting porters will eliminate the chaos of hard bargaining right at the beginning of the most beautiful lifetime trip.

Air flights from Kathmandu to Bhadrapur and a long drive from Birtamod will lead to Taplejung, where the Kanchenjunga trekking begins. The altitude rises as the trekker approaches to Kanchenjunga base camp. Enough acclimatization is essential to avoid any unnecessary hassles related to health and safety. A first aid box is always beneficial to carry as the trail sometimes passes through dense forests where any places nearby are miles away. Oral rehydration solutions are a must to have during the daytime. Kanchenjunga trek can extend up to three weeks and reach a maximum height of 4725m.
