The rudimentary campsite of Kanchenjunga 8,586 m (28,169 ft), 3rd highest mountain in the world, make up for a trek leading up to the far eastern mountain range of Nepal and up to the elevation of 5,100 m (16,732 ft).
The Kanchenjunga Circuit trail passes through the Kanchenjunga Conservation Area Project (KCAP), operated in collaboration with WWF by local communities. Subtropical forests, alpine meadows and high altitude wetlands are home to some of the endangered species of Snow Leopard, Red Panda, Himalayan Black Bear, Clouded Leopard and Assamese Macaque.
Our Kanchenjunga circuit trek itinerary leads through picturesque farmland, lush alpine valleys to rhododendron, bamboo forests welcoming high mountain passes & crossing the remote and rarely-visited northeast corner of Nepal. Beyond Ghunsa's attractive Tibetan settlement, with its robust wooden buildings, numerous prayer flags and smiling villagers, we circumnavigate the amazing northern flank of Jannu (7710m). Later, with mystical views of Makalu, Chamlang, Everest and Kanchenjunga, you will undertake a steep climb to Mirgin La pass. Past Ramche, you will enjoy the formidable south face of Kanchenjunga & retrace your steps back to Torongding-Khebang-Khamdime.
