Overview
The Kanchenjunga Base Camp Trek is one of Nepal’s most remote and rewarding trekking adventures, leading to the base of the world’s third-highest mountain, Mount Kanchenjunga (8,586m). Located in eastern Nepal, this trek offers a pristine and less-explored Himalayan experience, far away from the busy trails of Everest and Annapurna. It is ideal for trekkers seeking solitude, raw nature, and a true expedition-style journey.
This trek uniquely covers both the North Base Camp (Pangpema) and South Base Camp (Oktang), offering diverse landscapes ranging from lush subtropical forests to alpine meadows and glacial terrains. The trail passes through beautiful villages like Ghunsa, rich in Tibetan culture, and traverses the protected region of Kanchenjunga Conservation Area. With dramatic mountain views, remote trails, and cultural richness, this trek is one of Nepal’s ultimate wilderness experiences.
