About The Kangchenjunga Region


Kangchenjunga means "five treasures of the greatest snow"

Kangchenjunga trekking route is one of the best trekking spots for those visitors who have the desire to experience more of Nepal and want to get away from the better known areas. You will be trekking remote trails that are ventured by few foreigners. This region is blessed by the world's third highest peak Kangchenjunga (8586m) the jewel of the Eastern Himalayas and is located on the border of Nepal , India and Tibet .
In addition to the main peak, four subsidiary summits exceed 8000m, the most important being Kangchenjunga West, also known as Yalung Kang (8,505m). Of some twenty peaks exceeding 7,000m, the highest are Kambachen (7,903m), Jannu (7,710m), Jongsong (7,483m), Kabru (7,353m), Tent Peak (7,365m) and the Twins (7,350m).


Trekking this route is a chance to venture into a rarely visited, unspoilt region of Nepal where the hillsides are still densely forested and the need to be self-sufficient is essential. Above the entire exhibition you are presented with the abundance of majestic nature and a whole lot more opportunities to explore and enjoy the traditional culture of the Rai and Limbu native people of this region.

The trails in this region follow the ancient foot-trails which meander through the scenic riverbanks, intricately terraced fields and forests connecting the picturesque hamlets and mountain villages.

The rhododendron-filled forests have numerous varieties of seasonal flowers blossoming and will catch one’s eye during the trek in spring.
