How difficult is the Kanchenjunga Base Camp Trek in Nepal?
Kanchenjunga Base Camp Trek is considered a difficult & challenging one, due to its remote location, high altitude, and rugged terrain. The trek involves steep ascents and descents, crossing several high mountain passes, and trekking through remote valleys & forests.
The highest point during Kanchenjunga north base camp trek is at Pang Pema, 4785 meters. Whereas the Kanchenjunga south base camp trek's highest point is 4160 meters. Compared to South Base Camp, North Base Camp is a difficult and challenging one.

The base camp of Kanchenjunga, the third-highest mountain in the world, is located on the south side of the mountain in Nepal.
The South Base Camp of Kanchenjunga is the more popular and accessible of the two. It is located in the Taplejung district of eastern Nepal and can be reached via a multi-day trek from the town of Suketar.

Is it possible to Trek the Kanchenjunga solo?
No, it is not possible to trek solo as the area is restricted and requires a special trekking permit. According to the rules of the Nepal government, trekkers must have a minimum of two people in their group and must be accompanied by a licensed guide or porter. This is to ensure the safety and well-being of trekkers, as the Kanchenjunga region is remote, and the terrain can be challenging and difficult to navigate.
Moreover, having a guide or porter can be helpful in providing local knowledge, assistance with carrying equipment and supplies, and ensuring proper acclimatization to high altitudes. They can also help in case of emergencies or health issues, which can be particularly important in remote areas like Kanchenjunga. Therefore, it is advisable to hire a licensed guide or porter to ensure a safe and enjoyable trekking experience in Kanchenjunga.

After Deurali, a short ascent and a continuous downhill with many shortcuts lead to Lalikharka. (Around 3 hours) (Overnight at Tea house)
After an easy, quick walk in the morning, a steep descend through some villages follows. The downhill continues as the trail passes through the fields of Simbu village and keeps on going all the way up to the river (Pa Khola). Now, a climb starts to go up for the next good couple of hours and pass through a higher secondary school at Kunjari, and finally reached Bhanjyang, (the top). After Bhanjyang, the trail is more subtle and undulates for less than half an hour to reach a small settlement of a couple of houses at Kade Bhanjyang (6 hours) (Overnight at Tea house)
A short climb after Kade Bhanjyang is soon followed by a gradual drop and reaches Khesewa in around 20 minutes. Now, the trail once again drops steeply through this long extended village down to a small stream. This steep drop takes a little less than an hour and soon is followed by a gradual uphill but with few steep sections. The trail steadies a bit and then undulates and reaches a small village and once again undulates but gradually gains height until it reaches Phunglung village in less than half an hour. Now a gradual drop starts a descend through yet another terraced field of this big extended village which soon turns very steep for the next half an hour. Once again, a more undulating trail is followed by a steep trail to the top of the ridge and a more steady trail arrives near Phumphe village. (6 hours) (Overnight at Tea house)
A good descent for less than half an hour, followed by another good climb for a bit more than an hour leads to Mamankhe. A gradual downhill soon turns into a steep climb. The climb becomes gentler but continuously keeps going up and undulates for a while. The morning steep part for about an hour and the next undulating trail takes nearly an hour. The valley starts going down through a thin forest for a little less than an hour. After the drop, a brief climb leads to a wider valley of Thungim. Continue climb lead us to Sherpaguan stay overnight at sherpaguan tea house about 6 hour's walk.
The day starts with a steep climb through the jungle. The forest consists of bamboos and rhododendrons. After two hours of climb, a paved trail starts and goes on for another couple of hours. Finally, the uphill ends and a brief leveled ground leads to Lashe Bhanjyang. After Lashe Bhanjyang, a brief drop that goes near by a landslide section is followed a half an hour climb. (by the side of this ridge is a sheer drop of nearly 200 meters or more) The climb turns into a steep drop for the next hour and half and meets Torongden River at the bottom of a narrow valley. Now the trail undulated through the forest but consistently goes up for the next hour and after crossing a simple wooden bridge, we arrive at Torongton. (8 hours) (Overnight at tea house)
The trek follows Simuwa Khola for the whole day towards North-East. The whole day is an easy uphill with few very steep climbs along the valley made by the river.

(5 hours) (Overnight at tea house)
A very steep climb starts the day and after the first half an hour of a steep climb, the valley widens up. The trail passes through several pasturelands and would also pass through a yak shed on one of these meadows. (they move the shed depending upon the seasons) After the first meadow, views of Rathong (6678 meters) and Kokthang (6148 meters) appear. The trail becomes fairly comfortable after the first two meadows and on the third meadow, just beneath a huge ridge, on flat land is Ramche. (5 hours) (Overnight at Tea house)
The trail moves further up into the valley with a ridge separating Yalung Kang Glacier on the right and many cliffs on the left. As the valley heads deeper, Kabru (7412 meters), and Rathong (6678 meters) towers like skyscrapers on the right. After a couple of hours up in the valley with a couple of meadows on the way, the trail slowly starts to climb and all four summits of Kanchenjunga (8586 meters) start to appear enclosing the valley. Finally, the Oktang viewpoint (4780 meters) appears ending the trail with the gigantic Kanchenjunga (8586 meters) and Kabru Range kissing the sky and the long extending views of Yalung Kang Glacier extending down the valley. The trek retraces back following the same route to Tseram. (7 hours) (Overnight at Tea house)
The first two hours are through woods and a rocky trail continues with views of wide valleys and for a brief moment, Kanchenjunga (8586 meters) can be viewed. This straight steep climb, for little less than around 4 hours gets to the first pass. After the first pass, the trail briefly drops and once again climbs for the second pass. Views of several smaller 6000-meter peaks and Makalu appear from the second pass. Once again, the trail drops briefly and then again climb for the third pass (here a Mirgin La signboard is present).

The first bit is an easy walk with bits of a steep drop. The trail is a bit rocky and after the first hour it gets to the first pass (there are prayer flags). It continues in a similar way until the second pass but sharply starts to drop through the forest of Rhododendron trees for nearly an hour and a half. A small flat ground is followed by a hydropower water pipe that leads into the wide valley with the big village of Ghunsa. (3-4 hours) (Overnight at Tea house)
The trail heads deeper into the valley following the Ghunsa Khola on a fairly comfortable terrain but passes through several small landslide areas. After a couple of hours the trail enters the rocky river and bed crosses Ghunsa Khola. Another brief comfortable walk leads to a bottom of a waterfall and then a steep climb through a difficult landslide section continues for the next half an hour. The hard work is rewarded with different angled views of Jannu (7710 meters). A brief drop shows the wider views of the valley and several unnamed 6000 meters peaks (Tengkoma is one of these peaks) but all these disappear as we enter Khambachen, a village where two valleys meet.

Kanchenjunga Base Camp Trek Third Trip With Visit Himalaya Treks
This was our third trip with Visit Himalaya Treks, having previously completed the Annapurna and Everest Base Camp Treks. This was a challenging trek in a remote area, which demanded skillful management, especially with a group of seven trekkers. As on our previous treks, Himal and his team's organization and attention to detail were impeccable throughout.
Special thanks go to our guide Krishna Bohara who had led our previous treks. He is extremely attentive and goes above and beyond in keeping his clients safe and well-informed before, during, and after each day of the itinerary. Thanks also, to our assistant guide, Sangay who was also the group chef, for providing us with great food, despite the limitations of menus in this remote area. Thanks also to the porters and a special mention to Puran for keeping us entertained - he will be a great guide in the future.
All in all another fantastic trek in a beautiful area which will last in our memories forever. We look forward to our next trek with Visit Himalaya Treks. Thanks again and Namaste Himal, Raj, and all the team.

Kanchenjunga Trek
Net terug van een individuele trekking met gids Bikram van Visit Himalaya Treks. Ondanks het een remote area bertreft, Kangchenjunga ligt immers in het verre oosten van Nepal aan de grens met India, werd het transport (vliegtuig en 2 dagen jeep) door Visit Himalaya voortreffelijk geregeld. Er werd een op maat gemaakt wandelschema opgesteld met voldoende tijd voor acclimatisering en side trips. Vooral de persoonlijke en flexibele aanpak van visithimalayatreks en zijn gids werden enorm geapprecieerd.

Private Guided Kanchenjunga Base Camp Trek
Ohne Zweifel weiterempfehlen Visit Himalaya Treks.
Ich bin überaus glücklich, habe ich Visit Himalaya Treks als Agentur gewählt. Die Agentur kann ich mit grosser Überzeugung als ein lokales, nepalesisches Unternehmen sehr weiterempfehlen. Himal und Raj sind ein wunderbares Team. Die Organisation des Trekkings verlief sehr unkompliziert. Ich habe Raj direkt per Mail aus der Schweiz angeschrieben und Himal dann nach meiner Ankunft in Kathmandu getroffen.
Ich empfehle direkt bei einem nepalesisches Unternehmen zu buchen. Damit habe ich gute Erfahrung gemacht. Und man unterstützt die lokalen Unternehmen dadurch am besten.
Ram Kaji hat mich als Guide kompetent durch die Berge geführt. Wunderbare und bleibende Erlebnisse im Himalaya mit einer herzlichen Agentur!

Best Team !!! Kanchenjunga Base Camp Trek
My friend and I just completed a 26 day trek of Kanchenjunga South Base Camp and North Base Camp. Between the two of us we've completed 17 treks in Nepal (friend 14, me 3) and of all the teams we've used, Visit Himalaya is by far the best. They are a well-managed company from the top down and their guides (like Ishwar) are very experienced in all things related to Nepal trekking. Highly recommend them for both their expertise and fair price.

Kangchenjunga Base Camp Trek For The Third Time.
My wife and I have now completed 14 trips to remote areas with Visit Himalaya Treks to complete satisfaction. Our most recent trek, Kangchenjunga for the third time over 24 days in November 2023, was made particularly fantastic by guide Krishna Bohara, who was experienced, knowledgeable, and kind.
In particular, he carefully assessed our capacity on a daily basis and worked within that to provide a truly outstanding and memorable trek. He is quiet and very effective, proficient, and professional. Thanks too to Tara Tamang, our always-smiling porter.
Howard and Sue Dengate. From Australia Date: November 6 – 29 – 2023.
We always try to be flexible to design the trip itinerary for our client’s needs. However, if you are not convinced as our suggested itinerary then off-course you are always welcome to customize or change the trip itinerary.
Holiday should never be about making it to the final point quickly. Along your trek, we can add days at your request with additional costs to cover guides, porters, accommodation, and food.
An average physical fitness should be maintained prior to booking a trek. Any sort of illness or recent medical problems should be mentioned while booking a trip. Most of our itineraries are prepared to give you maximum time to acclimatize and pace-setting on the treks would be done according to your convenience. If you are having regular medication then tell us before the trip started which would be better for us to give you the physical feedback.
Our main concern is your safety. We never compromised on your safety during the Trekking and all our guides are properly trained and well equipped to take care of our client's safety in even the remote areas as well.
There would be always back support in case of an emergency situation like severe high altitude sickness or accident (which is least expected), you will be sent to the nearest hospital if possible otherwise rescued by a helicopter and sent you to the hospital as soon as possible. Since you are entirely liable for all the expenses incurred for the use of such emergency services, please make sure that your travel insurance covers both- medical and emergency evacuation costs.
It is not a problem at all because in a mountain most of the tea house/lodges serve vegetarian food as well and our guide will take care at the time cooking and on a camping trek, our cook and staffs will care all about the food section.
Most of the lodges in the mountains are the basic ones like a guest house or tea house style. On a few major towns or settlements, where are the possibilities we provide you with the best accommodation! Also, it depends upon the service packages.
Lately, most of the teahouses have electricity supply even with solar panels. So, charging your gadgets is not a problem at all. But charging your battery you should have to pay an additional fee (US$ 1 to 3 approx. per hour.), in order to get your gadgets to be charged.
Now a day’s most of the major village has a cell phone network connection. However, in a remote area where cell phone does not work, and even if there is not any other communication access then we send satellite phone along with our guide so you can always be in touch with your family.
The luggage must not exceed up to 20 kilos. A trekking helper (porter) carries baggage of less than 15 kilos. This bag can be received at the end of each day’s trek and you should carry the rest of the weight as a day bag with all your money and valuables inside it.
This is a difficult thing to gauge. We have seen everything from USD 25 to USD 900 per person for guides and porters. Tipping is not required, but a small gesture of thanks to your guides and local porters. The level of the tip should reflect the level of satisfaction from and personal involvement with your guide. However, we recommend you to spend a minimum of 10% of your total trip cost for tipping the entire local staff.
