Kanchanjunga
Trekking
Kanchanjunga, at a height of 8598 m. is the world’s third highest
mountain and lies on the Nepal-Sikkim border in the Remote North East.
It is one of the most in accessible and formidable of the entire Himalayas.
The Trek is a long and often an arduous one. The Kanchanjungas proximity
deters all but the awed mountain enthusiast, a journey which takes you
through scattered settlements of farmhouse with colourful flower Gardens,
wild coniferous woodland and one to remote Buddhist. Settlements where
people scratch a living from the barren land hike up the Kanchanjunga
Glacier where the views are quite simply overwhelming.
It
lies in a sensitive restricted area astride the Nepal /India, Sikkim border
only a few miles from Tibet. Our trip will avoid the restricted area and
head for Yalung glacier immediately to the south of Kanchanjunga .The
journey starts with a trek over the Mahabharat range with majestic views
of both the Everest and Kanchanjunga massifs with the Arun valley between
them. We Trek through richly cultivated land, rhododendron forests and
yak pasture that Stands below the glacier. The return route heading west
posses through some delightful village of Taplejung the panoramic view
of Everest Makalu & Kanchanjunga are magnificent on our decent to
the road heat.
