Kanchenjunga Region |
 |
|
|
Of all the world's
great peaks,, Kanchenjunga is perhaps
the least known; the third highest in
the world at 8,598m, it sits astride the
Nepal/Sikkim border only a few miles
from Tibet. This route was opened to the
trekkers in 1988, though people have
trekked in the area in connection with
mountaineering expedition since the turn
of the century. Kanchenjunga is along way
from Kathmandu and the nearest road and
airports are along way from the
mountains.
Our long trek here climbs from the |
 |
|
intensively cultivated hillsides of the Nepal
Midlands, populated by the Rai and Limbu tribes,
towards the peaks of Jannu and Khabru and the
great wall of Kumbakarna, Kanchenjunga and
Rathong, passing on the way through some of the
finest high mountain scenery anywhere. Until
very recently this was a restricted area, so
this is an ideal trek for those who already know
Nepal and want to get away from the better known
areas and visit a remoter part where few
foreigners have penetrated.
We fly from Kathmandu to Biratnagar and transfer
to Basantapur on the same day. The trek begins
with our first camp at Chauki then trek through
Gyabla, and ascend to the higher camp at Pang
Pema (5120m) and camp at Lhonak. The trek
concludes at Suketar via the descent from Omje
Khola, from where we fly back to Kathmandu. |

Now we
plan to trek in one of
the most remote and
beautiful areas in Nepal
which still lies
surrounded in mystery.
The area is abundant
with wildlife, as
inhabitation consists of
only scattered villages.
There are musk deer,
blue sheep and, for the
believer, the Yeti!
Magnificent views of
Everest, Makalu and
Kanchenjunga massif will
make the trip worth your
while.
