Kanchenjunga North Base Camp Trek |27 Days

Trip Overview

Kanchenjunga is the third tallest mountain in the world. A steady climb through valleys of rushing rivers with stunning mountain views along the trail makes way to the base of the northern side of Mt. Kanchenjunga at Pang Pema.

The normal trail starts at Basantapur but if you want to shorten your trek you can fly directly to Suketar and descend to Chirwa and move through Ghunsa before reaching Pang Pema.

This route is known for its remoteness and rich Tibetan culture. If you are one of those who hates crowded trails; this might just be the perfect choice!
