About Kanchenjunga Base Camp Trek

Kanchenjunga Base Camp Trekking adventurous trek can be done North and South of the Base camp via crossing the Sinon la-sele pass that takes you to the remote areas of the eastern Himalayan region of Nepal and offers pristine nature, unspoiled culture, as well as classic Himalayan vista of towering mountains.The Hight of kanchenjunga Base camp pang pema is 5140 m. Kanchenjunga (8586m) is the third-highest mountain in the world behind Mt. Everest.

This mountain is Bordering Indian Sikkim. Trekking was opened in 1988. On this trek, you will enjoy the tantalizing views of four of the five world's highest mountains, Everest, Makalu, Lhotse, and Kanchenjunga. The wide range of scenery, with terraced hills with wheat and potato cultivation, lush tropical forest with chestnut and oak, and Rhododendron flowers leading to the alpine zone, provides you peace and inspiration throughout the trek. The trek also offers an experience of the unique and rich culture of the ethnic Rai, Limbu, and Sherpa communities, almost untouched by the modern world. The diverse and fascinating landscape passes through a conservation area of a wide variety of flora and fauna, river valleys, waterfalls, and high passes.

Kanchenjunga North and South Base Camp Treks:

Kanchenjunga South Base Camp TrekKanchenjunga North and South Base Camp Treks can start in multiple ways. Among them, Beyond The Limits Treks offer the best way for this trek. It's best to start Kanchenjunga Base Camp with the flight from Kathmandu to Bhadrapur and drive to Taplejung. Also, there is a direct flight to Sukhetar airstrip but Kathmandu to Sukhetar flight is very uncertain and the alternative mode is transportation overland all the way to Taplejung. Also, Kanchenjunga Base Camp can be approached from the Indian side, but from Nepal, providing you with the full experience of the Kanchenjunga region. From Sukhetar or from Taplejung you can drive up to Sekathum and your trek can start. You walk up through the Ghunsa Khola valley through the Rhododendron forest, to the Himalayan region.

Mountain Ranges seen during the trek:

As you reach a higher altitude, the scenery is dominated by a long range of mountain vistas. In the Kanchenjunga range, you can see four high mountains above 8000m such as Mt Everest(8848m), Mt.Lhoste(8516m), Mt.Makalu(8481m), along with Mt. Kanchnjunga (8586m). On this trek, you cross the two high passes, the Lapsang La Pass and the Sinon La Pass locally known as Sele Le Pass. The Kanchenjunga is a long and adventurous trek that does require prior experience of trekking and good physical condition. The best seasons to visit for the Kanchenjunga trek are autumn and spring when the weather is clear and you can enjoy clear views of the mountains and the natural scenery.
