Kanchanjungha 8586 meter - the third
highest mountain on the world, as the queen of the
Great Himalayas, stands on the Nepal-Sikkim border
high above rhododendrons and large forests with
rivers pouring from its sides. Nepal opened the
Kanchanjungha region to trekkers in 1988, though
people have trekked in the area in connection with
mountaineering expeditions since the turn of the
century.

Comparatively the region is a long
way from Kathmandu, and the nearest airport and
roads are a long way from the mountain. As per the
rule of His Majesty's Government of Nepal, there
should be at least two trekkers in a group to trek
at a time. On the trip you will be able to study the
culture and lifestyle of Rai and Limbu communities.
For a trekking trip to the north base camp at
Pangpema 5140 meter, taking flight from Kathmandu to
Biratnagar then drive Biratnagar to Basantapur and
trek to Kanchajungha North Base Camp and return to
Taplejung by the same route, then flying back to
Kathmandu from Taplejung takes minimum 23 Days. But
the same trek can be done in 18 days, if taking both
way flight from/to Taplejung.
To make trekking trip to the south base camp at
Oktang 4800 meter and Yalung glacier at same
elevation, taking both way flight from Kathmandu to
Taplejung takes minimum 16 days.
One who want to make entire trek in Kanchanjungha
region including Milke Danda ridge (the trekking
route above 4/5 days from Basantapur) with both
North and south base camp, crossing five high passes
in 'Mirgin La route' (Crossing max.4660 meter) or 'Lapsang
La route' (Crossing max.5110 meter) in between the
short connection route of these two base camp takes
minimum 26 to 30 days.
