Kanchanjunga Trekking
Trekking in kanchenjunga give you an opportunity to see
panoramic views from every direction. Kangchenjunga is
the third highest mountain in the world and the second
highest in Nepal. Kanchenjunga is translated along the
lines of "Five Treasures of the Snow" and the main peak
is 8586m high. The recently opened Kanchenjanga region
offers the keen walkers the chance to explore a totally
unspoilt upland wilderness, which offers a most
beautiful and contrasting variety of scenery. Lush
farmland and wooded valleys give way, higher up, to
breathtaking mountain scenery, which includes close-up
views of Kanchenjanga and also distant panoramas of the
mountains of the Khumbu.
A journey to this area is a special treat- starting from
the tropical lowlands through great rhododendron forests
and lovely villages of east Nepal upto the glacier and
overwhelming views. A trek to the south and north faces
of the world's third highest peak offers fantastic
mountain views, including Everest. It provides you with
an adventure, which will stay forever. One of the most
remote and beautiful areas in Nepal, which, unused to
foreign visitors, still lies shrouded in mystery. The
features of the walk in are pleasant villages with
different ethic groups then in the high regions,
glorious mountains and abundant wildlife.
The trails climb from 1200 meters (4,000ft) to 5180
meters (17,094ft) above sea level.
