Kanchenjunga (8586m) is the third highest peak in the world which is one of the prime attractions of the trip. It is stunningly located at the border part of India with five summits. It has been described as the queen of the mountains.

Kanchenjunga trekking goes through the ethnic communities of the eastern Nepal, mainly of Ri, Limbu and Sherpa towns. Their culture, costumes and the traditional pattern of spending life is remarkable. The trek leads you to the Kanchenjunga base camp crossing various sub-tropical and alpine forests that are the home of the red panda and other wild animals. When you reach to the alpine region, you will be astounded by the snow covered wonderland of magnificent pinnacle delicately fixed by the waterways and glaciers. Beginning the trek from Suketar, you walk over and reach Khambachen, Pangpema and enjoy the awesome Himalayan sceneries along with the attractions of the northern Base Camp Kanchenjunga Glacier. After crossing the Sele La, you reach to Tseram, Ramche and head to explore the Southern Base Camp and Yalung Glacier.
