Kanchenjunga Trekking

 

The Kanchenjunga-area is a “restricted area”. That means that the permits are much more expensive than in other areas and that this area is only accessible to groups (at least 2 tourists) with a guide. That is why there are less tourists and the villages are more authentic and also the food.

A very varied trekking, starting in the rice fields, followed by deciduous trees, pines, and above the tree line between snow and ice.

Because we don’t fly domestic the traveling to the start is 2 days by bus and back to Kathmandu a little bit longer. But you will soon forget this when you walk in this beautiful, original area.

With as a reward the phenomenal views on the high Himalaya-pics with a lot of snow and ice.

We start walking the south-east side, cross a 4700 meter high pass, descend and arrive at last at the north side way over 5000 meters. But because the ascent is gradually, by this time you will be well acclimatized. Via the north-west side we walk back.
