Kanchenjunga Base Camp Trek

Trip Introduction

Kanchenjunga is also known as Kangchenzonga “The Five Treasures of Great Snow” by the Sikkimese because it has five major peaks. It is the most remote and unexplored trek of India. Kanchenjunga is the world’s third highest peak and Nepal’s second highest peak. It is located in Nepal’s east region. In Nepali, the word Kanchenjunga means “Crystal Clear.” The five major peaks are the Main Summit, South Summit, and Central Summit, which are located in Nepal and India, respectively. West Summit, also known as Yalung Kang, and Kangbachen are the other two peaks that lies in Nepal.

The Kanchendzonga Base Camp is the main highlights of this trek. You will walk on an off-the-beaten trekking path of Kanchenzonga National Park, Sikkim. It is a first “Mixed heritage site” of India that has been listed under UNESCO World heritage site. It was also included in UNESCO Man and the Biosphere programme. This National Park is filled with many endangered animals such as such as blue sheep, snow leopards, black bears, and red pandas. You can also see the Kanchenjunga range, Frey Peak, Koktang, Kabru Peak, Ratong, Chandra Peak and Kabru Dome. You will also be exposed to the cultures of both Nepalese and Sikkimese people.

The 11-day journey begins with a drive to Yuksom, the trek’s starting point. We’ll be on the road for 5 to 6 hours.

We will travel from Bikhbari to the Kanchenjunga Base Camp, where we will explore and enjoy the breathtaking views of the mountains. We will take the same route back to the trek’s end point, Yuksom.
