Kanchenjunga North Base Camp Trek - 16 days

Our company’s representatives will be there at the airport to greet you upon your arrival. As soon as you finish all the procedures and head out, we will be there holding your name plate with our company’s logo. 

After meeting up, we will drive you to your hotel. You can explore the nearby places for the rest of the evening. 

We will dedicate this day to preparing for permits and going sightseeing around the Kathmandu Valley. We will also conduct a pre-brefing regarding our upcoming days. 

In this session, we will discuss the schedule for the following days and you will also get a chance to meet with your guide. You can ask any questions that you have regarding the trek during this time.

We will take an early flight from Kathmandu to Bhadrapur to start our adventure. We will reserve seats for the journey to Taplejung once we get to Bhadrapur.

We will pass through many picturesque places along the way, such as the energetic town of Birtamod, the verdant tea gardens of Illam, the tranquil Jorpokhari, and the quaint city of Amarpur. 

We will pass across the famous Kabeli Khola Bridge as we travel along this beautiful route, and eventually we will arrive in Taplejung.

We start our five to six hour trip from Taplejung to Sekathum, which is roughly 39 kilometers away. On our travels, we can come across some twisting and tight roads. 

We'll go through a number of communities and have our permits checked at the Kanchenjunga Conservation Area checkpoint. After crossing a few bridges and continuing down the Tamor Nadi, we will ultimately arrive in Sekathum.

Today is the first day of our trip to Kanchenjunga North Base Camp. We start our journey from Sekathum to Amjilosa by traversing many suspension bridges and meandering through groves of rhododendron. 

We will arrive in Amjilosa after walking up and down hills and via a few small communities in five to six hours. We'll spend the night at Amjilosa.

We will trek down the Ghunsa Khola riverbank to Amjilosa, leaving Sekathum behind. There's a slim probability of seeing a red panda when we go down the woodland path. 

We will see a breathtaking view of the snow-capped mountains as we stroll along the route. Depending on our walking speed, it will take us four to five hours to get to Gyabla/Kyapra village, where we spend the night.

Today we will be heading toward Ghunsa after breakfast. The trail traces the path through the forests. We might also encounter trekkers heading to and from Pangpema, Kanchenjunga North Base Camp. 

On the journey to Ghunsa, we may come across Himalayan yaks pulling loads up and down. We finally arrived in Ghunsa, our day's target, after walking for almost five hours.

Trekkers pause at Ghunsa to let their bodies adjust before continuing on to Dudh Kunda or Ghunsa Viewpoint. 

However, we will walk through the open pine forest on our journey to Khambachen after breakfast. 

We will arrive at Khambachen after passing through the villages of Rambuk Kharka and Lyakep and taking in the views of Jannu, Temachungi, Pholesobi Thongje, and many more.

We shall get acclimatized to Khambachen today. The settlement provides a breathtaking perspective of Nupchu, the Jannu, Nagphu, and Sarphu mountains, among many others. 

We can take a leisurely stroll around Khambachen hamlet, trek to Janu Viewpoint, or visit Nupchu Pokhari. We will spend the night at the Khambachen teahouse.

We will approach the Kanchenjunga North Base Camp by following a path along the Ghunsa Khola riverbank. 

As we approach Ramdang, we are treated to breathtaking views of Gimmigela, Ramtang, Kanchenjunga, and many more mountains. 

We will arrive at Lhonak by strolling along Kanchanjunga Glacier and across the road that passes through Dry Lake.

We will be in the base camp of Mt. Kanchenjunga, the third-highest peak in the world. We leave with breathtaking views of the mountains as we begin our day trek to Pang Pema, the base camp of Kanchenjunga North. 

We will head back to Lhonak after spending a few hours at the base camp with the prayer flags and the breathtaking views of the Himalayas.

Following the route that brought us to the magnificent Kanchenjunga Base Camp, we will start descending in the direction of Ghunsa. 

This trek promises to be both physically demanding and sensory-rich, allowing visitors to experience the views, sounds, and smells of Himalayan nature. 

We will eventually arrive at the quaint town of Ghunsa, where the hospitality of the local way of life awaits us.

We will board our jeep and head to Kanyam, Ilam, the tea-growing region, leaving the mountains behind and bringing with us the memories and the refreshing winds. In Kanyam, there is a sizable concentration of domestic visitors.

We will have a brief tour of the tea-growing region before making our way to Bhadrapur Airport. We will arrive in Kathmandu late in the afternoon after our 45 to 50-minute flight from Bhadrapur. 

We'll pick you up at the hotel, say our final goodbyes, and make arrangements for the car to send you off at the airport.
