Kanchenjunga Base Camp Trekking
Overview
This trek approaches the South Face Base Camp of the world’s third highest peak, Mt. Kanchenjunga (8,598m) which lies in the eastern frontier of Nepal. Mt. Kanchenjunga, one of the world’s most challenging peaks to climb, geographically lies on the Nepal-Sikkim (India) border. The trek begins right after landing at a STOL airstrip in Taplejung and goes through fascinating green, crop growing villages and solid forests to the awe-inspiring South Face Base Camp at Ramche at (4,360m), before crossing to the north side of Kanchenjunga via the Mirgin La, the highest pass at (4,663m). The glacial excursion around Ramche is truly an unforgettable experience. The return trek via Ghunsa is easier as most of the path passes along the river valley.
