KANCHANJUNGA BASE CAMP TREK |
|
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. s route was opened to the
trekkers in 1988, though people have
trekked in the area in connection with
mountaineering expedition since the turn
of the century.
Kanchenjunga is along way from Kathmandu
and the nearest road and airports are
along 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. |
