Once you are in the Kathmandu sky, you will be met by a panoramic vista of the snow-capped mountain ranges stretching below. At the airport, a representative from our office will greet you and drive you to your hotel. The representative will assist you in checking into the hotel of your choice. You will receive a briefing on your trip’s activities at the hotel.

Since Nepal began welcoming tourists, Kathmandu, the historical and cultural center of the country, has become a well-liked travel destination. A beautiful fusion of Tibetan Buddhism, Hinduism, and Western influence can be seen in the city. A guided tour will be provided to three UNESCO World Heritage Sites: Boudhanath, which is the tallest Buddhist stupa in Nepal, Pashupatinath, which is the most well-known Hindu shrine dedicated to Lord Shiva, and Patan or Lalitpur, also known as the City of Artists and located 5 kilometers from Kathmandu. You may marvel at the Malla era’s architectural marvels in Patan Durbar Square. The main attractions in the square are the Mahaboudha Temple, Kumbeshwor Temple, Krishna Temple, and Golden Temple.

You fly from Kathmandu to Bhadrapur on the lower part of Nepal, and then you drive to Ilam, the center of the country’s tea plantations, where you spend the night.

After a hearty breakfast, you travel through Taplejung to Mithlung. Your hike to Kanchenjunga Base Camp begins in Mithlung. From the car’s glass, you may observe a variety of stunning natural scenes and landscapes as you travel.

Your trek officially starts today, and for the next three weeks you’ll be walking through the stunning countryside of Eastern Nepal. With your trekking group, you travel to Chiruwa. Although much of the trail is downhill, you can occasionally take a break and keep going.

You depart Chirwa and travel to Sekathum. You encounter numerous little tributary streams as you continue down the TamurKhola trail. You get to see the two rivers SimbuaKhola and GunsaKhola joining to form TamurKhola at one point, which is the most beautiful sight. Following the lovely trail farther, you arrive in Sekathum.

Today’s journey leads to Amjilossa, the first Sherpa village along the route, across a suspension bridge and waterfalls. Due to the community only being used when the yaks and sheep are in the pastures, there are very few permanent families there.

The trail travels through a forest of pine, bamboo, rhododendron, and oak where you may walk in solitude while listening to the lovely bird tweeting and also witness the variety of birdlife. This forest is located behind the village of Amjjilossa. As you go further, the villages start to look more Tibetan. Gyabla is the destination for today.

As you continue on the trail, you pass through a forest and the winter settlement village of Phale. In the past, it served as a camp for Tibetan refugees. We continue on the trail until we reach Ghunsa, where we will rest for the day. It is the largest settlement in the region and is home to a police station, office, and health post. Additionally, the area has access to communication tools like the phone and the internet.

The altitude progressively rises as you progress through the trek, therefore you must acclimatize to avoid altitude sickness. Therefore, today is a leisure day in Ghunsa, where you are free to relax or explore the neighborhood.

The trail softly ascends while crossing chortens and mani walls as it passes through lovely rhododendron and pine forests. You pause at RampakKharka for lunch by the river. After lunch, there is a long ascent before arriving to Khambachen, a summer settlement. Excellent views of Mt. Jannu or Kumbhakarna can be had from here.

To once more acclimate your bodies to the altitude and be ready for the following day’s walk, you have a rest day at Khambachen. You can now go ascend the ridge to get a breathtaking glimpse of Kanchenjunga.

The ascent to Lhonak via Ramtang hamlet is not too taxing, and despite the elevation gain, you can stroll on without much difficulty while taking in the spectacular views of the valley and mountain peaks. Your lunch break is at Ramtang, where you can first see the amazing summit of Wedge Peak. The Twins, Mera, and the White Wave all come into view in the late afternoon from Nepal Peak. Then you get to Lhonak, which is next to Wedge Peak and located well above the Kanchenjunga Glacier.

You may reach Pang Pema from Lhonak by taking a pleasant 3-hour walk. Before arriving to Pang Pema, the North Face Base Camp, which is in a protected location immediately across from the imposing north face of Kanchenjunga, the trail winds along the moraine. One of the most breathtaking locations on earth, it serves as a fitting conclusion to this extraordinary journey.

Although today is a day of rest, there are plenty of activities planned for the day for the more spirited ones. One option is to climb Drohmo’s lower slopes for sweeping vistas of Kanchenjunga and its neighboring peaks. For alternate views of the more distant peaks surrounding the Jongsang La Pass, one might continue up the increasingly steep terrain on the right flank of the glaciers.

Trekking back to Khambachen from Pang Pema along the same path.

You go from Khambanchen back to Ghunsa while taking in the breathtaking views.

To get to Sele La camp from Ghunsa, the path passes through a forest and along a grassy ridge. The ridge offers a breathtaking view of Gunsa, Phole Village, and Mt. Makalu.

Beginning your hike early in the morning, you cross the Sele La pass and go up the ridge to the Sinelapche La pass, from which you can see Mt. Kanchenjunga and its valley in all its splendor. The only town along this path is Cheram, which we reach by descending the trail.

Since there are no settlements along the trail, the walk today takes place entirely in the wilderness. You make the voyage to Ramche and take the day off.

Ramche is not far from Kanchenjunga South Base Camp. From Ramche, you hike there and back. Buddhist prayer flags line the perimeter of the base camp, which is perched on the edge of a glacier.

You travel to Tortung, a small settlement with a few tea houses, today, retracing your steps all the way back to Cheram. The trail traverses a gorge, a forest, and a landslide-prone area as it ascends and descends a hill.

After breakfast, you continue on the trail, which has steep and protracted uphill sections and downward sections. After that, a steep downhill woodland path leads you to Yamphuding after you cross over a landslide-prone area. Your overnight accommodation is at Yamphuding.The most isolated town in this region is Yamphudin.

Today’s journey is relatively leisurely because you can pause to have a swim in one of the KabeliKhola’s several clean pools and stroll alongside the trail. You may access the stream beds that make up the valley side via the route. After crossing the mountains, it’s a short downhill to Mamanke.

After leaving the settlement of Mamanke, you continue on the trail, pass the suspension bridge, and stroll along the KhangwaKhola among terraced fields. While traveling via Anpan village to get to Ponpedhara, you can take in the amazing sight of Mt. Jannu, a number of hamlets, and terraced fields that run along the summit of the mountain. You follow the trail to Loppoding and go up the glaciated mountain passes after passing through a thick forest. You arrive at the terraced fields of Kesuwa after crossing the NandevaKhola.

As you continue on the trek and cross Bhanjyang, Tambawa, you can capture the beautiful sight of Kanchenjunga shimmering against the sun. As you travel further along the path, you will pass through both lush forests and small, hilltop communities. As you continue on the path, you will reach Kunjari and its wonderful terraced agriculture. You get to LaliKharka after crossing the suspension bridge over the PhawaKhola, when the tour for the day comes to an end.

After leaving LaliKharka, the trail leads to Taplejung village, where you can roam around and get to know the locals while learning about their way of life, cultural diversity, and customs. After that, a 5-hour journey will take you to Ilam, where your trek to Kanchenjunga Base Camp would officially end.

You will be driven from Ilam to Bhadrapur, where you will board a flight to Kathmandu. Upon arrival, be transferred to the hotel.

This day is set aside in case the flight from Bhadrapur is delayed. You can unwind from your journey if you have free time. You can tour the city’s historical monuments, wander through Thamel to experience local culture, visit surrounding monasteries, unwind at a spa, or shop for trinkets at the neighborhood bazaar.

We will drive you to the airport to catch your trip home with our Nepali support staff. For shorter tours like game drives in national parks, rafting, Tibet tours, mountain biking, etc., ask us whether you’d rather stay longer.
