Kanchenjunga Region

As much as Nepal has a bunch of trails that are popular and filled with trekkers each season, it has other treks that are unknown! One of them is the trekking trails of the Kanchenjunga region. Where few people reach and choose to explore due to its remote attributes and less commercialization.

As a restricted and one of the least-travelled destinations, this region is truly raw and isolated from the busy world. Walking through the wildlife of the Kanchenjunga Conservation Area, you are destined to witness stunning terrain and changing landscapes. You get to spend time at the simple teahouses, enjoying the mountainous views with the warm meals.

The Kanchenjunga trekking region stays close to the Tibet and Sikkim border at the far eastern part of Nepal, which offers a unique influence. Circling Mt. Kanchenjunga (8,586m), which is the third-tallest mountain in the world, is another exciting highlight of the region. The treks here pass by the beautiful local settlements of the Rai and Limbu communities, offering a glimpse into mountain lifestyle.

A popular off-beaten track of this region is the Kanchenjunga Circuit Trek that connects two base Camps of Kanchenjunga, the North Base Camp at Pangpema and the South Base Camp at Oktang. On this trek, you also cross high passes such as Mirgin La, Sinon La, and Sinelapcha Bhanjyang, which many of you might not have heard about. You get to view other lesser-known mountains like Mount Kumbakarna, Kabru, Rathong, Nepal Peak, Wedge Peak, and Yalung Kang. Walking through these trails, passing by the glaciers and silent mountains, lets you discover the unknown beauty of Nepal’s far-eastern Himalayas.

Choosing to trek in Kanchenjunga is the best option for trekkers looking for an off-beaten adventure in Nepal. Instead of following the trend, you can have a peaceful trek that feels like a personal journey from the Kanchenjunga region with a longer duration and enough time to be refreshed.
