Kunchanjunga Trek - 22 Days

Kanchanjunga Trek means "the mountain of jewels" and it is said that the famous sage Guru Padmasambhava buried the treasures of knowledge in this most beautiful mountain. It is so revered by the locals that the Lamas of Sikkim dance in tribute once a year. A 22-day trek, it takes you to the snowline through high pastures and into the romance of the mountain jewels. Much more than trek, it is a journey of discovery. The Kanchanjunga Range is possibly the last unexplored region of Eastern Nepal. Breathtaking views of the vast Himalayan range can be seen from the majority of the route's trails.

Thick forests of rhododendron trees in the lower region and yak grazing the pastures at high altitudes promise always to astonish. This is a sparsely populated area with mainly Sherpa, Limbu, Rai and Gurung communities living here. The people are not accustomed to receiving tourists at their doorsteps and show great hospitality. The wild flowers are in full bloom during the months of April and May, and clear views of the mountains are also more likely during this period.
