Kanchenjunga
B.C. Trekking
Of all the world's great peaks,
Kanchenjunga is perhaps the least known;
the third highest in the world at 8,598m
it
sits astride the Nepal/Sikkim border
only a few miles from Tibet.
This
route was opened to the trekkers in
1988, though people have trekked in
the area in connection with mountaineering
expeditions since the turn of the century.
Kanchenjunga
is a long way from Kathmandu and the
nearest road and airports are a long
way from the mountains.
Our
long trek here climbs from the intensively
cultivated hillsides of the Nepal Midlands,
populated by the Rai and Limbu tribes,
towards the peaks of Jannu and Khabru
and the great wall of Kumbakarna, Kanchenjunga
and Rathong, passing on the way through
some of the finest high mountain scenery
anywhere. Until very recently this was
a restricted area, so this is an ideal
trek for those who already know Nepal
and want to get away from the better
known areas and visit a remoter part
where few foreigners have penetrated.
We
fly from Kathmandu to Biratnagar and
transfer to Basantapur on the same day.
The trek begins with our first camp
at Chauki then trek through Gyabla,
and ascend to the higher camp at Pang
Pema (5120m) and camp at Lhonak. The
trek concludes at Suketar via the descent
from Omje Khola, from where we fly back
to Kathmandu.
