Kanchenjunga
Base Camp trek is an ideal trekking route for those with time
and desire to venture into some of the remote regions of Nepal.
Kanchenjunga is the third highest mountain in the world at
8586 meters, and is a magnificent peak striding the border
between Nepal and India. Trekking in Kanchenjunga trail begins
along the Tamur River through Pipal trees and villages where
traditional life is little touched by the modern world. This
includes those of the Limbu people, famous for inventing Tongba
(the highland concoction made from fermented millet) and as
the mainstays in the British Gorkha Regiments. Passing through
some of the country's most pristine oak and rhododendron forests
brings you to harsher high terrain. Crossing the Mirgin-La
pass at 4725 meters gives you views of Makalu, Chamlang and
Everest. Next you will pass the Kanchanjunga glacier, and
finally you are rewarded with an incredible, close-up view
of Kanchanjunga peak as you approach the Kanchenjunga base
camp at Pang Pema. Whilst exploring the surrounding area you
will also see a panorama of Wedge Peak, The Twins, Pyramid
Peak and Tent Peak.
