Kanchenjunga Base Camp Trek: Highlights
Kanchenjunga Base Camp Trek: Overview
Kanchenjunga Base Camp Trek is a long journey through a remote and beautiful part of eastern Nepal near Tibet and India. The trek takes you to the base of Kanchenjunga, which at 8,586 meters is the third-highest mountain in the world (28,169 feet). Before the measurement of Everest, Kanchenjunga was considered the tallest mountain in the world. The trek begins in the town of Taplejung and takes about 20 days to complete. You will explore the amazing Kanchenjunga Conservation Area and the beautiful Arun Valley on the trek.
The hike takes you through a variety of landscapes, such as dense forests, alpine meadows, and glacial valleys. Along the way, you’ll pass through a number of small villages and have the chance to talk to the people who live there. Most of them are of Tibetan or Nepali ancestry. The region’s culture is a very unique mix of many different ethnic groups. You will also visit numerous monasteries in Ramtang and Oktang to learn about Tibetan Buddhism.
You will go to both the South and North base camps of Mount Kanchenjunga on this trek. As you walk to the base camps, you will be able to see some beautiful derivative peaks like Kanchenjunga South, North and Central. We also get views of massive peaks like Makalu (8,481m), Lhotse (8,516m), and Cho Oyu (8,188m), which can be seen from the trek, and the views are stunning. More than 20 peaks exceeding 7,000m lie in the region along with numerous Himalayan glaciers including Yalung Kang (8,505m), Kambachen (7,903m), Jongsong (7,483), Jannu Peak (7,710) and others.
The chance to see rare animals like the snow leopard, red panda, and musk deer is one of the best parts of the Kanchenjunga Base Camp Trek. A number of rare and endangered plant species can also be seen during the trek. You will walk through many different climates and environments, from thick forests to rock and snow.
Overall, the Kanchenjunga Base Camp Trek is a difficult but rewarding hike that combines natural beauty, cultural immersion, and adventure in a unique way. It’s a great choice for people who want to trek in Nepal for a longer time and want to get off the beaten path.
Best Season for the Trek to Kanchenjunga Base Camp
The best seasons for the Kanchenjunga Base Camp Trek are generally considered to be between September and November and between March and May. These months have the best weather and the clearest views. During summer, monsoon the trail gets very wet due to rain and clouds cover most of the views, making for a poor experience.
From September to November, the weather is usually dry and pleasant, with daytime temperatures between 15 and 20 degrees Celsius and nighttime temperatures that drop below freezing. This is a great time to hike because the weather is clear and you can see beautiful views of the peaks around you.
From March to May, the weather is also generally nice, with daytime temperatures between 15 and 20 degrees Celsius and nighttime temperatures that drop below freezing. But the spring months can be a little less predictable because it can rain or snow.
Summary of the Kanchenjunga Base Camp Trek
The Kanchenjunga Base Camp trek starts in Taplejung, which can be reached by taking a 45-minute flight from Kathmandu to Bhadrapur. From here we take a jeep to Illam and onward to Taplejung. The trek itself is approximately three weeks long, with the additional first two days devoted to traveling to the starting point and the last two days dedicated to returning back. The trek itself visits both the North and South Base Camps of Kanchenjunga, starting on the North side with views of Tent Peak, Nepal Peak, Cross Peak, and eventually Kanchenjunga itself. After reaching Pangpema on the North side, the route returns to Ghunsa and crosses Mirgin La pass to the South side of Kanchenjunga. Here we get impressive views of the mountain’s South West face from Ramche and Oktang. Then we return through a different route to Suketar in Taplejung and then drive back to Bhadrapur and then onwards to Kathmandu.
The difficulty of the Kanchenjunga Base Camp Trek
The whole trek is over 220 kilometers long and quite strenuous. Depending on your level of fitness and experience, the Kanchenjunga Base Camp Trek is considered to be a moderate to difficult trek. The trek requires a lot of walking on rough terrain at high altitudes, which can be hard on your body. If you have been on moderately long treks in the Himalayas before you should be fine with some extra determination.
The trek starts in Taplejung, which is about 1,300 meters (4,265 feet) above sea level, and reaches at the Pangpema base camp on the North side of Kanchenjunga, which is 5,140 meters (16,860 feet) above sea level. There are also several high passes on the trek, such as the 4,620-meter-high Mirgin La pass (15,157 feet). Altitude sickness is a definite possibility and has to be taken into account.
The terrain frequently goes uphill and downhill and you will follow rivers and valleys going from woodland to very rocky terrain. There aren’t any well-facilitated health posts so being healthy is a must.
Accommodation, Food, and Water in the Kanchenjunga Base Camp Trek
Accommodation on the Kanchenjunga Base Camp Trek is generally basic, with a mix of locally-run lodges (also known as tea houses) and camping.
The lodges are simple but comfortable, with shared bathrooms and dining rooms, among other things. The rooms in most lodges are simple, with two twin beds, blankets, and pillows. Even though power outages are common in the area, some lodges have electricity. Most lodges offer meals, and you can pick from a small selection of local and international dishes.
In places where camping is required, our guides will help set up camp and bring warm food, usually Dal Bhat, which we recommend even at Lodges.
For drinking water, it’s a good idea to carry water purification pills.
Flora and Fauna on the Kanchenjunga Trek
The area around Kanchenjunga is home to a wide range of animals and plants, including many that are rare or on the verge of extinction.
On the Trek, you might see the snow leopard, the red panda, the musk deer, the Himalayan black bear, and the blue sheep. You might also see birds like the Himalayan monal, the blood pheasant, and the chough. There are many different kinds of plants in the Kanchenjunga area. These include alpine meadows, rhododendron forests, and bamboo groves. Maple, Pine and Firs make up the woodlands. Numerous meadows and rocky areas are also gone through on the trail along with terraced farms around major villages. Overall, the area around Kanchenjunga is a nature lover’s dream.
The ethnic demographics of the Kanchenjunga Region.
The Kanchenjunga Region of Nepal is home to a mix of ethnic groups, including Tibetans, Nepalis, and Limbus. The Tibetans are primarily Buddhist and engaged in agriculture and trade. The Nepalis are predominantly Hindu and involved in agriculture, trade, and tourism. The Limbus follows a religion called Kirati religion and are primarily engaged in agriculture and trade. Largely the Tibetan and Kirati groups live higher up on the trail while lower down there is generally a good mix of the various ethnic groups.
A brief history of the region
The Kanchenjunga mountain range was first explored by British adventurers who were drawn by the spectacular views from Darjeeling, India. The region was easily accessible from neighboring Sikkim as early as 1848, while the rest of Nepal was closed to foreign visitors until the 1950s. Kanchenjunga was considered the highest mountain in the world until the discovery of Mount Everest in 1856. The name means “Five Great Treasures in the Snow.” The mountain is sacred to local people and is believed to contain five different treasures in its five peaks: gold, silver, gems, grains, and sacred texts. The first climbers of Kanchenjunga stopped short of the summit in 1955 out of respect for the mountain’s sacred status.

Traveller’s Review
My husband and I wanted a long trek to a lesser known area and with fewe tourists and he landed on this one. He did all the research and chose Glorious Himalaya because Ganesh was one of the few offering this trip and he was very responsive to our inquiries and requests. Lots of emails went back and forth and he made sure it all came together with transport, accomodations, guide, porter, etc. We combined this trip with another trek in the southwest of the country (with another service) and Ganesh worked with us to mesh our two disparate trips. Out guide UR was excellent. His English was pretty good, so we could usually communicate what we needed to. Our porter was also excellent, though he didn’t really speak English, but that was not needed. Learn some Nepali, not only do the people appreciate it, it did help. No fault of the company, but be warned, the “huts” along this trek are rough. Sanitation is low, all outhouses and little ways to clean up so bring wipes. Once in the Kanch conservation area, the “huts” there cater a bit better to tourists, but it is still rough. And once you get to Tseram and north it is cold, we were cold for over a week and we come from the far north US, we wore every bit of clothing. Bring water purification method. The trails are not easy and we hike mountains and are in pretty good shape – up, down, and around and often rough footing, so train before you go. Do not expect to have the opportuinity to bath for days (3 weeks in our case).

Thanks to all the members of Glorious Himalaya for your great service and hospitality during our Nepal stay.
We (an adult couple) booked the Kanchejungha circuit with base camp trek through Glorious Himalaya and they did their best to make our trip successful. We started our trek from Kathmandu to Bhairawa flight and then took a drive to Suketar which was an interesting part of this journey. Our guide Nima was an experienced and knowledgeable guide, as well as our porter Shiva, was very honest and strong enough to carry our belongings throughout the trek.
We visited both the north and south base camps of Kanchenjungha. Accommodations on this route were very common but well enough to spend the cold nights.
During our 1 month Nepal trip, we enjoyed lots and created some unforgettable moments in the Himalayas.
Thank you for your great effort. We will visit Nepal again with Glorious Himalaya company and recommend this agency for your great adventure in Nepal Himalayas with their professional services.
