Kangchenjunga Base Camps

Kangchenjunga is the world’s third highest peak, and this trek from the low foothills up to the North and South Base Camps can rightly be claimed as one of the most beautiful treks in the world. From the start, you will be in glorious scenery with wonderful views of mighty Kangchenjunga and her satellites in their full glory.

Steadily gaining altitude, your trail to base camp will take you through forests, cultivated, terraced fields and small, sparsely populated villages where the local people will be delighted to welcome you. The wild scenery around South Base Camp is simply stunning and you will be surrounded by glaciers, mountain lakes and ice-fluted peaks. From here, it will take six further days of trekking, across airy passes of the Mirgin La and Sinion La, to reach the northern base camp of Kangchenjunga. The incredible, panoramic vistas from above the mountain’s glacier are worth the exertions alone but you will undoubtedly relish the feeling of being somewhere totally wild and remote as well as the sense of achievement in having successfully reached your final objective.
