Kanchenjunga Circuit Trek- Cost, Map, Itinerary Overview

The Kanchenjunga Circuit Trek is an adventurous journey in a region that has received little attention lately. This little-known trail leads to both the bases, south and north of the third highest mountain in the world, Mount Kanchenjunga (8586 m). Joe Brown and George Band, with a team of British mountaineers, were the first to make it to the top in 1955. In 1977, an Indian Army squad from Sikkim on the Indian side achieved the second ascent of the northeast ridge.

The Kanchenjunga Circuit Trek itinerary takes trekkers on an incredible journey along remote and solitary routes. Exotic forests, colorful communities, cascading waterfalls, and beautiful natural joy are all part of the undiscovered trekking trail of Kanchenjunga.

Kanchenjunga is located in Nepal's far eastern region, on the border with Sikkim, a small Himalayan state in India's northeastern region. Kanchenjunga was regarded to be the world's tallest peak until the mid-1800s. Until the mid-1980s, this area was off-limits to hikers.
