Kanchanjunga Base Camp Trek - 21 Days
Kanchanjunga trek, one of the most beautiful treks in the world, has now been opened for international trekkers. The trek begins at an area full of adventure and remoteness as compared to other normal trekking routes in Nepal. This trek takes us through different indigenous villages dominated by Rai and Limbu communities and it is worth of visiting the villages especially in their festival time to observe their amazing cultural dance and other activities. Other highlights of the area are: beautiful farmlands, unexplored vast foothills, high mountain passes, myriad glaciated moraines and eco-system. From the north side base camp of Pang Pema (5100m) the fantastic views of Makalu, Chamlang, Everest, Jannu and the Kanchanjunga massif along the way is a lifetime experience. The area is also abundant with wildlife including musk deer and blue sheep.
