Ultimate Kanchanjunga Trekking

We can spend some time at Tridevi Temple and Vikramshila Mahavihara Temple as well as other nearby temples early in the morning if we’d like. After that, we’ll go back to the hotel and have breakfast. We’ll get together in a hallway and discuss the specifics of our adventure, which will start on a different day. In addition to helping you get ready for the trip, our experts will share their personal stories about their experiences on the Everest View Trek during a storytelling session. When we’re done, we’ll eat some MoMo or Newar snacks, go shopping in Thamel and Ason, and then head back to the hotel.

Following breakfast, our guide will pick you up from your accommodation and drive you to the airport. We fly over the Kathmandu Valley, its surrounding hills, and some of Nepal’s renowned mountains during the brief journey to Bhadrapur. Free flying over the mountains! We will travel to Ilam, the country’s center for tea plantations, after arriving in Bhadrapur.

After breakfast, we take a four-hour trip over hills and terraced farms to Taplejung, where we spend the night. After lunch, there will be time to stroll about the town. It’s a unique location with lots of Buddhist gompas. We can witness 400-year-old butter lamps at one of these gompas that have never stopped glowing. Outside the gompa, a stream powers prayer wheels that chant ”om mani Padme hum” aloud.

We will begin our expedition today. Although the day is lengthy and mostly downhill, we can stop for a breather in the settlement of Sinwa on the banks of the Tamor River before continuing.

Another hard day of hiking—this one lasting seven hours. We do, however, enter the Kanchenjunga Conservation Area after passing through Tapethok. Before crossing a suspension bridge and ascending to Lelep, our permissions are examined here.

Today’s trip includes suspension bridges and waterfalls. Additionally, we reach the first Sherpa village on our climb and spend the night there. There aren’t many families who live in Amjilosa full-time because it’s mostly used while the yaks and sheep are in the pastures.

Today we set off via various pine, bamboo, rhododendron, and oak forests. The settlements and residents seem to be taking on more Tibetan characteristics. Along the walk, we also encounter yaks, sheep, and goats, as well as a wide variety of birds. The trail ascends through a thick forest after lunch and leads us to Gyabla, where we spend the night.

The trail passes Phale Village, a Tibetan refugee settlement that was established decades ago when Tibetans began to flee China’s communist government. The trail continues through woodlands today. It is now a village used for winter settlement. We have enough time to tour the village, where various handmade items are for sale. We travel to Ghunsa, the biggest village nearby, which has a police station, a health centre, and a Kanchenjunga Conservation Office. Here, you can use the phone and the internet.

Now that we are at a higher height, we want to ascend even further! So we use Ghunsa as a chance to unwind and get used to the climate. A monastery must be investigated, and a ridge must be scaled. Views of Jannu Peak may be seen from the crest, making the approximately 5-hour round trek worthwhile. We will bring a packed lunch if you choose to hike up the ridge, which we highly encourage as it helps our body adjust to the altitude.

The Jannu Himal dominates today’s skyline. We reach a lush glacier valley by taking a gradual ascent. If lucky, we might see snow leopards and blue sheep here. We take extra precautions as the trail goes beyond a waterfall to a landslide-prone area.

To prepare for our trip to the North Base Camp, we use the opportunity to acclimate our bodies to the altitude once more. Today, we can ascend another ridge for breathtaking views of Kanchenjunga.

We travel primarily across moraine from the Kanchenjunga Glacier today on the path. We can see beautiful scenery on all sides as we climb a slope over big boulders. We also keep an eye out for the rare Snow Leopard since we are in its habitat. Although this area has summer yak pastures, there are no villages along the route.

After a filling breakfast, we will start today’s journey, this time gently ascending across moraine from the Kanchenjunga Glacier. We stand at Base Camp, in amazement at the mountains that surround us and take in the ambience, which is complemented by Buddhist prayer flags that are flapping in the wind. We relaxed here for a while having a hot beverage and some food. To spend the night, we went back to Lhonak.

After reaching Kambachen Village by a trek over sand and moraine, we stop for lunch before continuing along the Tamor River to the east. As we make our way back to Ghunsa, where we spend the night, the landscape is now greener.

Today’s route takes us through a forest and up a grassy ridge, both of which provide us with a view of the settlements of Ghunsa and Phole as well as Mount Makalu in the distance.

This morning at dawn, we set out in search of the Kanchenjunga South Base Camp. The trail leads us up a ridge to Sinelapche La pass after we cross the 4,450-meter-high Sinon La peak (4,830m). Fantastic views of Mt. Kanchenjunga and its valley may be had from this location. We follow a short trail down to Cheram, the only town we come across along the way.

To reach Kanchenjunga South Base Camp, we first go to Ramche, where we pause for lunch before continuing for another 40 minutes or so. The Base Camp is flanked by Tibetan prayer flags and is located right on the brink of the glacier. We head back the way we came so we can spend the night at Cheram.

Today’s trail passes through a gorge and is primarily downward. But the last stretch is a hard ascent through a forested area and landslide-prone terrain. Up until Torongding, where there are a few teahouses, there are no villages.

After starting on a downhill hike, it quickly becomes a strenuous ascent. We cross a region that is prone to landslides on the way to Lasiya Bhanjyang, where there is one tea store where we can eat lunch. Once we reach the large settlement of Yamphuding, the trail descends steeply through more trees.

Now that we are back at a lower height, walking is more straightforward. Along the way, we pass through charming villages and terraced farms. We go on and spend the night at Khebang.

We will trace our way back and reach Khamdime traveling through a path covered with abundant vegetation and teasing views of glamorous mountains.

We have a long drive ahead of us today. It’s time to relax our aching legs and think back on the amazing sites we have seen. We may savor a full dinner with some beer when we get to Bhadrapur in the evening, then unwind in a cozy hotel for the night.

A flight to Kathmandu will end our journey altogether. Enjoy being around the good food and constant hot water.

A free day means you can pamper yourself with good Ayurvedic massages. We can also set up a day trip through the valley if that’s what you’d want. We may also make arrangements for you to acquire the knowledge necessary to prepare certain Nepalese food. Overall, today is your day, and we’ll work to make sure you get to accomplish everything you wanted to enjoy the lovely city of Kathmandu.

Today, we’ll say our final goodbyes. We will leave you at the airport three hours before your flight time. Before that, we’ll give you some of our merch and a few tokens of our love to remember the times we’ve spent together since the beginning of time. However, we do hope to cross paths once more in the future.
