Kanchenjunga Base Camp Trekking
This trekking trip offers infinite variety of landscapes from Sub-tropical to alpine, diverse cultures and panoramic views of the Himalayas. We walk through terraced fields, colorful villages, bamboo and rhododendron forests. As the trail ascends gorgeous views of Everest, Lhotse, Makalu and Kanchenjunga, the world’s five highest mountains are seen at the forefront. Musk deer and blue sheep are mostly found in the Kanchenjunga Conservation Area. The region is sparsely populated and it is truly a wilderness destination for those who seek challenging trek in Nepal.
