Kanchanjunga Base Camp Trek
(23 Days, Camping/Hotels)
| A special Christmas trek to the base camp of the
world's third highest peak |
Of all the world's great peaks,
Kanchanjunga is perhaps the least known. The third
highest mountain in the world at 8598m., it is situated
in the remote east of Nepal astride the Nepal/Sikkim
border and only a few miles from Tibet. Our trek here
climbs from the intensively cultivated hillsides of the
Nepal midlands towards the peaks of Jannu and Khabru and
the great north face of Kanchanjunga. Our goal is to
reach Pangpema and the north base camp, passing on the
way through some of the finest high mountain scenery
anywhere. This is still a semi-restricted area, and is
therefore an ideal trek for those who already know Nepal
and want to get away from the better-known regions to
visit a remoter part where few foreigners have
penetrated.
