The
trek to the base camp of world’s third highest peak, Kanchanjunga,
(8,586m.) offers infinite variety of landscapes, cultures and panoramic
views of Himalayas. Walking on the low lands of Nepal passing terraced
fields, colourful villages, green forests, the trek enters into a ridge
line of rhododendron. As the trail gains altitude, gorgeous views of Everest,
Lhotse, Makalu, & Kanchanjunga, four of the worlds five highest mountains
make the trek rewarding. Approaching Yalung glacier & crossing a series
of passes, the views become more magnificent. The trail reaches Pangpema
(4800m.) which is the base camp for Kanchunjunga expedition.
