Kanchenjunga Base Camp Trek

Kanchenjunga Base Camp Trek Overview

The Kanchenjunga Base Camp Trek package is a 3-week-long trekking tour that takes you to the ultimate wild side of Nepal.

This hiking route is one of the least visited areas, off the beaten track, and has yet to be explored. With this trekking package, you explore the trails of Kanchenjunga with a walk to base camp. You walk away from the mainstream Nepal trekking routes, and the hordes of tourists. Also, you visit the Kanchenjunga Conservation Area, which covers a vast area of 2035 square kilometers.

During the Kanchenjunga Base Camp trekking tour, you will travel in complete isolation in most parts. The trekking route has no disturbances or interference from modern shenanigans. You will find yourself amidst unmatched natural beauty against the backdrop of the beautiful Himalayas. Hence, you can enjoy the purity of natural beauty.

Mt. Kanchenjunga stands over 8,585 meters, making it the world’s third-highest peak. It is in the beautiful terrain tugged in the eastern region of Nepal, spread over the border with Sikkim. It is a massive figure with five different tips that pierce the sky. The locals derive the name Kanchenjunga, which means Five Treasures of Snow. They believe that the five other mountains are manifestations of gold, silver, grain, stone, and holy scripture. So, most people worship the mountains as the lineage of the gods and the resemblance of their blessings to humankind.

Here’s the name of the five great massifs of Kanchenjunga with their heights.

Best Time to Visit Kanchenjunga Base Camp Trek from Nepal

The best time to go on a Kanchenjunga Base Camp Trek is from mid-March to June’s end, and after mid-September until mid-November.

During the monsoon, trekkers should avoid taking a Kanchenjunga trekking excursion from Nepal as the routes get slick and the highways remain closed because of the continuous rains. In the winter, trekking is often impossible because of the heavy snowfall, impassable paths, and unfavorable weather.

The Kanchenjunga Base Camp Trek by Heaven Himalaya is a demanding hiking package. You need to cover an enormous distance each day. Being physically fit and being able to walk downhill or uphill for miles is a very important tip. So, we highly recommend you join a training session before leaving for the trek.

Despite choosing the best time for the Kanchenjunga trek, you should also note altitude sickness and its causes. Although we have an acclimatization day included in the trip itinerary to tackle altitude sickness, you still have to be careful of it.
