Tour Overview

Nepal’s second highest peak and the third highest in the world, Kanchenjunga is located in the northeastern corner of the Taplejung district. Its main ridges form a natural boundary between two states, as well as a watershed to several important rivers. Twelve miles north of Kanchenjunga is the Tibetan frontier. This runs along the main watershed of the Himalayas, separating the arid plateau of Tibet to the north and the more fertile and rain washed country to the south. Kanchenjunga is a mountain of sheer beauty. It is great enough to posses its own glaciers radiating from its several summits. Though surrounded by many peaks, the glaciers which flow far down to the fringes of the tropical forests are the undisputed possession of Kanchenjunga. It is the only mountain that displays its glories to the world at large. Only those who can afford the time and expenses necessary to penetrate the remote fastness from which they spring can view the glories of Everest, but Kanchenjunga is to be seen easily from anyone in the lower foothills. Kanchenjunga not only breaks the force of the monsoon, but protects the main watershed to the north from its onslaught to a great extent. The result of this is an extra ordinary variation of scenery and climate with in a small area. The dry, almost dusty hill at the head of the Lhonak Valley, The Dodang Nyima range and the plateau of Tibet beyond are in striking contrast to the valley that radiates southward from Kanchenjunga, for here is a dry reddish brown country with a snow level appreciably higher and glaciers considerably smaller than those of Kanchenjunga and its immediate neighbours. There is probably no other mountain where the mountaineer is exposed to greater dangers than he is on Kanchenjunga, for he not only has the ice avalanches to contend with, but general uncertain weather as well.

  • Witness stunning views of Mt. kanchenjunga, the world's 3th highest Mountain

Kanchenjunga North and South Trek

22-Nov-2023

Mr. Rana picked me up from the airport in Kathmandu and took me to the Hotel Kailash Kutee in Thamel. The room at the hotel was very nice, breakfast on the 7th floor on the terrace and Thamel with all facilities right outside the door. Perfect base camp in Kathmandu! The first day was spent recovering from jet lag and sightseeing. I could use Rana's car for this, his driver took me from the hotel to Boudhanath stupa and Swayambhunath temple and waited for me

Kanchenjunga North and South Base Camp Trek-21 day

02-Aug-2019

I went to Kanchenjunga Circuit trek in April 2019 with my friends and we overall had a wonderful time. This trek was amazing, wonderful view, unique land escape, marvelous mountains and yeah very good people . I enjoyed this wholly as this was my first time in Kanchenjunga region which provided me the great time trekking and hiking exploring this untouched landscape of Nepal. Our Guide and porters were flexible, helpful and experienced. The trek wouldn't be possible without them.I would like to thank Adventure Himalayan Travels and Treks and Rana sir for organizing such a great trekking in Nepal. I would recommend Adventure Himalayan Travels and Treks 100%.
