Ultimate Kanchanjunga Trekking

The Kanchenjunga Circuit trek in Nepal is a fantastic journey. It goes along the Nepal-India-Tibet border and shows off the stunning Kanchenjunga mountain.

Kanchenjunga is the third-highest mountain globally, towering at 8,586 meters. British climbers Joe Brown and George Band were the first to reach its summit in 1955. In 1977, an Indian Army team achieved the second ascent from the northeast ridge in Sikkim, India.

This trek on the Kanchenjunga Circuit takes you through a remote part of The Great Himalaya Trail. It’s tough, so being fit and having trekking experience is essential. Despite the isolation, you can visit the lovely Ramtang and Oktang Monasteries, immersing yourself in local culture.

The journey is a visual treat with rivers, waterfalls, meadows, forests, the Yalung Glacier, and jaw-dropping mountain views. You’ll see rhododendrons at lower altitudes and alpine landscapes higher up. Elusive snow leopards and red pandas call this region home. You’ll also meet ethnic Tibetan Buddhist communities like the Rai and Limbu in ancient villages.

During the trek, our skilled cooks will prepare tasty meals, and you’ll rest in comfy tents. Kanchenjunga is in the far east of Nepal, near Sikkim, India. It used to be considered the world’s tallest peak until the 1800s.

Access was limited until the 1980s, and now you need a special permit due to conservation efforts. This has helped preserve the unique flora and fauna. Besides Kanchenjunga, there are other towering peaks and glaciers. This trek offers an incredible opportunity to explore the untouched Himalayan slopes and valleys.
