“The Great Himalayan Circuit in Eastern Nepal”
The Kanchenjunga Base Camp Trek is one of Nepal’s most remote and breathtaking journeys. Towering at 8,586 m, Kanchenjunga is the world’s third-highest mountain and centerpiece of this extraordinary trail.
Eastern Nepal offers unmatched diversity — from lush forests and terraced fields to remote high passes and glaciers. The trek follows the Tamor & Ghunsa Rivers, passes through Rai & Limbu villages, and gradually ascends into a wild alpine world dominated by peaks like Jannu, Pyramid Peak, The Twins, Makalu, Everest, Lhotse, and Kanchenjunga itself.
Unlike the crowded Everest or Annapurna routes, Kanchenjunga remains pristine, authentic, and less-trekked, making it ideal for seasoned adventurers.
⚠️ Note: This trek enters a restricted area. A licensed guide and group travel are mandatory; solo trekking is not allowed.
