Kanchanjunga Base Camp Trek - 21 Days
Price: From US $
This trek approaches the South Face base camp of the World's third highest mountain peak of Kanchenjunga at 8598m which lies in the eastern frontier of Nepal. Mt. Kanchenjunga lies on Nepal's eastern border with Sikkim. The trek begins right after landing at a STOL airstrip at Taplejung and takes us through fascinating villages and pristine forests to the awe-inspiring South Face Base Camp at Ramche at 4360m before crossing to the north side of Kanchenjunga via the Mirgin La, the highest pass at 4663m. Glacial excursions around Ramche are truly an unforgettable experience. The return trek via Ghunsa is easier as most of the path passes along a river valley.
