Kanchanjunga (The Glorious Trek)

Out of all the world's great peaks, Kanchanjunga, the 3rd highest at 28,168ft. is the least known and least visited. Astride the Nepal/Sikkim border, only a few miles from Tibet, it lies in a sensitive area with restriction facing those who approach it from any quarter. We have planned our tour to avoid the restricted area as far as possible with the Yalung glacier immediately to the south of Kanchanjunga, our main objective.

Our trek takes us initially over Mahabharat lekh range with a grand view of both the Everest and kanchanjunga massifs divided by the deep. Arun valley, one of the few wildlife which forces its way through Himalayan range. Intensely cultivated hill sides dominate the landscape as we move north into Nepal midlands, inhabited mainly by Rais and Limbus settlers. To reach Simbua khola, we climb steadily through pine and rhododendron forest the yak pasture below the flakier At 14,000 ft, 0ne is almost surrounded by peaks Jannu (25,294ft) Kanchanjunga, Kumbhakarna, Kabru and Ratong. The return route takes us west through some delightful villages to the central region of Taplejung. There is an easy walk down to the road head and superb views of Everest, Makalu and Kanchanjunga
