Kanchenjunga is known as the jewel of mountains; it is the third-highest mountain in the world with an elevation of 8586 meters. It lies in the eastern part of Nepal, just nearby the Sikkim border. Kanchenjungha is part of the Great Himalayan trail, which is where it would be best to organize camping trekking for a proper trip. But nowadays, it can do basic tea house trekking in Kanchanjungha south and North Base Camp with Sele La Pass. Kanchenjunga is a real trekking route in Nepal, with fewer tourists and virgin nature, amazing mountain scenery, people's unique culture, and picturesque landscape.
Kanchanjunga Trekking used to start from Basantapur, Hile or Taplejung after long overland travel from Kathmandu. But now you can fly to Suketar within 45 minutes from Kathmandu and toward the Kanchanjungha trip. For people who are on a limited budget but still like to explore this amazing trip, then you have alternative access from Kathmandu to Bhadrapur or Biratnagar and then drive to Taplejung or Basantapur. From our experience and our client’s feedback, we would like to suggest you fly to Suketar to avoid the long journey by bus. You have a great experience during this trip; at first, you will visit one of the lowest elevations (65 m) at Jhapa and get to Kanchenjunga Base Camp 5,388 meters and the scenery of Mt. Kanchenjungha 8586 meters. Not at all that; you will walk through the Nepali countryside with different ethnic groups and religions.
At the lowlands, mostly Bramina and Chhetri live, and they are participating in Hinduism. Even though some other cast also you can see. And to the Ghunsa, mostly Limbu and Rai people can see. They are following the Kirat religion. Above the Ghunsa, mostly Bhotiya and Sherpa People live, and people here are Buddhist. Their culture and lifestyle are similar to those of the former Tibetan population. Still, people here are following the polyandry marriage system in this modern era. So you can imagine what this type of society will be like, as well as their beliefs. For more information about the polyandry systems, you may directly visit those places and talk with them.
The culture, beliefs, and customs are different for every ethnic group and they celebrate different festivals. Even though they have good hormones and brotherhood with each other. As this trip is inside the Kanchanjungha Conservation Area and declared a Restricted area Trekking, this will be special hiking with the sight of endangered animals like Red Panda, Snow leopard, Musk Deer, wild goats, etc. Similarly, Rhododendrons, Magnolia, Pine trees, juniper, Yarsagumba (Cordyceps), sandalwood, etc. vegetation gets in the Himalayas. The astonishing mountain scenery, ringing White River, which comes through the huge mountains, making gorge and origins from the glacier, will be luring your soul. Kanchanjungha trekking is a mixture of mountain scenery, people's culture, and natural beauty as an adventure trip. This is suitable for people who love Nature and people who live within basic amenities.
There are basic teahouse facilities and homestay service throughout the Mt. Kanchenjunga Trek.
