Of all the world's great peaks, Kanchenjunga is perhaps the least known; the third highest in the world at 8,598 m, it sits astride the Nepal/Sikkim border only a few miles from Tibet.

Of all the world's great peaks, Kanchenjunga is perhaps the least known; the third highest in the world at 8,598 m, it sits astride the Nepal/Sikkim border only a few miles from Tibet. This route was opened to the trekkers in 1988, though people have trekked in the area in connection with mountaineering expeditions since the turn of the century.

Kanchenjunga is a long way from Kathmandu and the nearest road and airports are far off from the mountains. Our long trek here climbs from the intensively cultivated hillsides of the Nepal Midlands, populated by the Rai and Limbu tribes, towards the
peaks of Jannu and Khabru and the great wall of Khumbakarna, Kanchanjunga and Rathong. Passing on the way through some of the finest high mountain scenery anywhere. Until very recently this was a restricted areas, so this is an ideal trek for those
who already know Nepal and want to get away from the better known areas and visit a remoter part where few foreigners
have penetrated.

We fly from Kathmandu to Biratnagar and transfer to Basantapur on the same day. The trek begins with our first camp at Chauki then trek through Gyabla, and ascend to the highest camp at Pang Pema (5,120 m) and camp at Lhonak. The rek
concludes at Suketar via the descent from Omje Khola. From here we fly back to Kathmandu.
