The Kanchenjunga base camp trekking follows the torrent of the Tamur and Ghunsa rivers. You'll walk by beautiful valleys and deep gorges. The trail ascends to Kanchenjunga's north base camp, relishing views of mountains like Jannu, Twins, Makalu, Baruntse, Chamlang, etc. You'll be walking close to the Indian border, Sikkim. The unique mountain lifestyle along the way and the kind locals will win your heart. Likewise, the stunning landscapes will keep you motivated to walk further.
Some part of the Kanchenjunga base camp trail is completely isolated. You may not come across any humans too. Similarly, the trail crosses mountain passes like Sele La and Mirgin La. The initial section of the trail goes through dense forests of bamboo, rhododendron, pine, fir, oak, etc. You may come across wildlife and exotic birds while trekking. The overall trekking experience during the Kanchenjunga base camp trek is strenuous but very rewarding.
