You will require an entry visa for Nepal when you arrive at Tribhuvan International Airport. You will be met by one of our agents upon completion of immigration formalities and transported to the hotel we have reserved for you. At your accommodation, you may unwind, unwind, and freshen up before leaving in the evening to go sightseeing in and around Thamel, the tourist hub.

We will need to get the necessary licenses for the Kanchenjunga journey before we begin our journey. We’ll also get ready with all of our paperwork and do some last-minute shopping. We will provide a briefing regarding the adventure at the Eight K Expeditions location. Enjoy your day in Kathmandu and get ready to go for an amazing journey.

We get a hot meal when we awaken in the morning. Then, we’ll take a short flight to Bhadrapur, a city in eastern Nepal, by driving to the airport. Then, we will go to Illam, a charming and historic market in Nepal’s Eastern Region. It sells high-quality tea leaves all over the world and is particularly well known for its tea gardens. The Illam Bazaar will be our area of exploration while we stay the night in a hotel.

We will go from Illam Bazaar to Jorpul the next day through the town of Phidim. As we ascend, we will see the beautiful landscapes of terraced farmlands, flora, tea gardens, and cardamom plantations. Finally, after a 9–10 hour trip, we will arrive at Jorpul, where we will spend the night to recover from the discomfort.

Starting at Jorpul, we steadily climb towards Khebang through the verdant woods of oaks, pines, deodars, and rhododendrons. We will arrive at Khewang for an overnight stop after traveling on a sequence of ascents and descents for around five hours.

We set off from Khewang down the Kabeli Khola, over several streams on suspension bridges. As we begin to climb, we pass through valleys, thick forests, and waterfalls. We will observe a variety of plants and a dense amount of woodland as we transition from subtropical to temperate zones.

Residents of the settlement of Yamphudin come from many cultures and ethnic groups. From there, we climb up to Lasiya Bhanjyang (3310 m), then on to Dhupo Bhanjyang. After that, we go down to Amji Khola and continue till we get to Torongdin at 2995 meters, where we spend the night. Given that we will be walking for approximately 11 hours, today will be incredibly taxing.

After breakfast, we leave Torongdin and hike toward Tseram. Green trees are fewer and more shrubs and wildflowers are present as we gradually get towards the subalpine zone. We will spend a day in Tseram to acclimate as we will be gaining height in the near future.

After a hearty breakfast, we’ll get up and begin the trip to Ramche. The Yalung Glacier moraine, as well as lovely lakes and meadows, will be crossed by us. We will arrive to Ramche after a 6-7 hour hike, where we will spend the night resting. Our crew will erect cozy tents for us to sleep in at Ramche.

We leave Ramche early since we will be climbing to the Middle Base Camp, which is at 4900 m. Up until we get at the Middle Base Camp in the meadows, the track leads us across glacier moraines and over rocky terrain.

We will make the ascent to the Kanchenjunga Base Camp and pitch our tents there by following the glaciers of the northern ridge. Panoramic vistas of enormous snow-capped mountains, including the mystical Mt. Kanchenjunga, will greet us.

We will spend 26 days of our trip on the Kanchenjunga climbing phase. During this internship, we will do multiple rotations around the above camps. We will spend enough days acclimatizing as this is extremely important for good health at altitude. Climbing and returning to lower altitudes was our key strategy for acclimatization. Most of the ascent will be on snow, ice and glaciers. Therefore, we will practice with ice axes, crampons and ladders before reaching the summit. The final section involves climbing a steep horizontal rock section. We will climb one step before the main peak, as it is considered pious and holy.

Once we reach the top, we will have views of Mount Lhotse, Mount Everest, Mount Makalu, Kanchenjunga massif and other huge snow-capped peaks.

Then we will return to camp and prepare to leave.

After a successful ascent of the third-highest mountain on Earth, we descend to base camp and disassemble the logistics of our adventure. The base camp is then cleaned, and we are ready to go.

We spend nine hours walking over the difficult terrain to return to Ramche. After that, we sleep in a lodge or a camp of tents.

We set out on our hike from Ramche to Tseram, where we will have lunch. After there, we descend through the woodlands to reach Torongdin, where we spend the night.

We continue on our journey back to Yamphudin till we arrive at our lodge, where we will spend the night.

After breakfast, we set out early to continue our ascent of Jorpul. We will proceed beyond the settlement of Khebang and toward Jorpul. About 9 to 10 hours will be spent on the walk overall.

Our hike comes to an end in Jorpul, from where we board a private vehicle to get to Birtamod, a commercial city. We’ll take a nap at a plush hotel in Birtamod.

We’ll spend the night in Birtamod and then go back to Kathmandu the next day. A flight is an option, but it will cost you more. You’ll be taken to the hotel to unwind and recover when we arrive in Kathmandu.

You are welcome to stroll about Kathmandu city on your free day. The Bouddhanath Stupa, Swayambhunath Temple, Pashupatinath Temple, Patan Durbar Square, Bhaktapur Durbar Square, Basantapur and Thamel regions, among many more, are just a few of the World Heritage Sites you may visit while sightseeing. We will all gather for a memorable goodbye supper at a regular restaurant in the evening.

One of our representatives will send you off at the airport for your flight back to your home country if you have not purchased any further packages or prolonged your vacation or stay in Nepal. We are forward to journey with you once more.
