Kanchenjunga Trek
25 days

Kanchenjunga Trekking is regarded as the wilderness trekking trails of Nepal. Kanchenjunga 8586m (3rd highest peak of the world) situated in the northeast part of Nepal is the main attraction of this trekking. Kanchenjunga region is watched by Kanchenjunga Conservation Area Project (KCAP) conducted by World Wildlife Fund in association with Government of Nepal but before this region was restricted till 1988 for trekkers. This region is also known as the home Red Panda (main theme of doing this trek). An only little number of trekkers has reached in the Kanchenjunga region. Among them, many of the trekker’s claimed that Kanchenjunga trekking route is fine in Nepal Himalayas.

Our trekking to Kanchenjunga region starts from Kathmandu. Most of our way passes through dense forest. In this forest, we can many species of flora and fauna playing all around us. From this forest, we can see high mountain ranges on the border of Tibet, Sikkim & Nepal. There is a lack of hotel and lodges on most of the places so our maximum nights will be in tented camp to high land of Himalayas. Our trekking to Kanchenjunga region will obviously be enchanting & memorable as we need to move from low land to high land. After completing our destination we will return back to Kathmandu which will end our trekking.

Since the trekking route of Kanchenjunga region is newly made. This trekking route is quite challenging and a bit long trekking. Due to which we need to have better preparation and plenty of holidays. Without any difficulty, you can contact High Five Adventures to do trekking in any days of the year. We are here to arrange your trekking to the schedule of your holiday.
