Kanchenjunga, a hidden gem in the far eastern part of Nepal bordering Sikkim, India, offers one of the most adventurous and remote trekking experiences in the country. The Kanchenjunga Circuit Trek, which circles the world’s third-highest mountain, Mt. Kanchenjunga (8,586m), is a challenging journey that requires special permits and previous trekking experience, making it less frequented by travelers. This trek explores both the north and south base camps of Mt. Kanchenjunga, providing an unparalleled adventure through some of Nepal’s most untouched landscapes. The trail takes you through lush forests, meadows, rivers, waterfalls, and remote villages, offering a truly extraordinary and magical venture in the Himalayas.
Unlike the more popular Annapurna and Manaslu Circuit Treks, the Kanchenjunga Circuit Trek is even more demanding and isolated, perfect for those seeking a unique challenge. Due to the difficulty and remoteness, solo trekking is not permitted, and it’s essential to be well-prepared. For those ready to embark on this exceptional journey, early bookings are now open for the 2024 spring and autumn seasons, with customizable itineraries available to suit your trekking preferences. Whether you’re drawn to the north or south base camp, this trek promises an unforgettable experience in one of Nepal’s most pristine regions.
