Kanchenjunga Trekking
The meaning of the term 'Kanchenjungha' is 'Five Great Treasuries of the Snow". That said, it really has seven major summits. Mt. Kanchenjungha is the third highest peak of the world which stands at a height of 8,585 meters. It is situated in the North-Eastern part of Nepal straddling the border with Sikkim. This is an inspirational trek in the pristine Himalayan community including several satellite peaks and glaciers, consisting of five summits. This is the abode of gods who bestow good will and prosperity on the summits and their lands. To the climbers of this mountain, however, it can take on a slightly more ominous feeling.
Even before Nepal opened the borders of Mt. Kanchenjungha to foreign visitors in the early 1950’s, it was probably the best recognized and well known mountain since it could be clearly seen from Darjeeling – the tourist centre of India. We begin the journey to Kanchenjungha with a flight from Kathmandu to Taplejung ( Suketar) . Then, from Suketar, the trek goes to Chauki through the villages of Mitlung, Ghunsa, Khambachen and Lhonak to Pangpema (5140meters) which is also the Base Camp for expeditions attempting the North Face of Kanchenjungha II and the culmination of the first part of the trek. The area is home to a variety of endangered species, such as the snow leopard, red panda, musk deer, gray wolf, and the Himalayan black bear. It provides and excellent opportunity for those who wish to penetrate the hills and villages of eastern Nepal offering unlimited and superb camping sites with its magnificent natural synergy at a close witness.
