Kanchenjunga's north base camp trek will lead you into the pristine Kanchenjunga Conservation Area of Nepal. This park is named after its massive snow treasure Mount Kanchenjunga's north base camp with an elevation of 8,586m. Mount Kanchenjunga is 3rd highest mountain in the world after Mount Everest and Mount K2. Kanchenjunga trek gives you a very rare taste of an unexploited wilderness, experienced by very few tourists. Mount Kanchenjunga is considered to be one of the most beautiful snow massifs in the world. Kanchenjunga Circuit Trek is an ideal trekking trail for trekkers who enjoy solitude. This is a day's trek starting from Kathmandu, the capital city of Nepal. We can do this trek by camping throughout the trail or by staying in a tea house. We will fly to Suketar airport located in the far northeast part of Nepal from where our trek starts. We will trek through the beautiful villages, forests, and landscapes observing different ethnic groups far from the modern world still practicing their traditional culture. On our trek, we can see traces of Kirat civilization throughout the inhabited areas. On this trek, we can see the central, south, and north face of Kanchenjunga. Also, we can see Mount Yalungkang, Jannu, Makalu, Lhotse, and Everest on the way to Sele la Pass. We might also see the snow leopard, red panda, musk deer, and several species of birds and butterflies preserved in the country’s most pristine Oak and Rhododendron forest. After trekking through the forested area of Kanchenjunga the trail passes through high altitudes with less vegetation and more rocky terrain. After then we trek through the massive glacier of Kanchenjunga from where we will get to see the most incredible close-up view of Mount Kanchenjunga.
