Eastern Nepal Kanchanjunga Trek
Trek Summary
Kanchanjunga is the second highest mountain of Nepal with 8586 mtrs height. It’s a virgin area for trekkers & natural lovers. Its lies in the extreme east of Nepal & to the north-east of Sikkim & Darjeeling [India].This area is extremely suitable in spring with blooming rhododendron & varieties of other mountain flowers with super views of mountain ranges like Kanchanjunga , Janu , Nepal peak ,Khabrudome, Rathong [Makalu &Everest from gufa pokhari] &other ranges. Kanchanjunga sector is a bit tougher area than others & the trekker’s are advised to trek in easier trail before-hand. The weather in summer is full of monsoon rain and winters are cold. On the way we come across different settlements with varied cultures, different vegetation’s, varieties of wild animals and bird species. After four days trekking we do not find good villagers for marketing the necessaries. So, trekking is advised to be fully equipped on leaving for trek. There are two ways of approaches to this sector. Firstly, fly from Kathmandu to Suketar & back same way. Secondly, drive to Basantpur end in Kabeli khola back to Kathmandu by local bus or reserve van.
