Trip Overview:
The Kanchenjunga Trek is a remote and adventurous journey to the base of the world’s third highest mountain, Kanchenjunga (8,586m). Located in eastern Nepal, this trek offers spectacular Himalayan vistas, pristine wilderness, and a rare cultural experience among isolated mountain communities.
