Out of these trekking itineraries, the Kanchenjunga Circuit trek is the best and ideal itinerary. Kanchenjunga Circuit Trek lasts for 28 days and is likely to offer you all the time to enjoy the viewpoints and scenic landscapes of tall and snowy mountains. You will be getting the best and most detailed information about the local attractions with the time of trekking, so to study and get more information or to interact with the locals, you have to stay for more, and this package will allow doing so.
The Great Himalayan Trail (GHT) is a long trail that crosses Nepal from east to west and can separate into timely segments for most people. The Kanchenjunga trip up to the northern base camp and returning to Ghunsa is in segment one of the Great Himalayan Trails. Before continuing to Taplejung or Tumlingtar, the trail traverses the Nango La pass and visits the secluded region of Olangchungola from here (approx. 32 days, Kathmandu to Kathmandu).
Kanchenjunga is a remote trekking region with simple facilities. It was opened as a camping trek a few years back, but now we can find teahouses at every stop which offer basic facilities like shared toilets, rooms, and limited amenities. There are countable teahouses only available in some places. These teahouses can accommodate up to 7-20 trekkers, but some places lack them too.
The food alongside accommodation is also simple in the Kanchenjunga trekking region. You will get dinner and breakfast in the same tea house you stayed in. There will be basic meals like local Nepali dal, bhat, and tarkari with other side ingredients and dishes. They will provide you with nutritious and healthy food. There can be an open menu in some places only because the availability of varieties is very low in this region.
Nepal Nirvana Trails as your companion will not leave any stone unturned for your satisfaction. We welcome every trekker from around the world to explore the Kanchenjunga Circuit trek for 28 days to interact with the beautiful culture and scenic mountains. If you have any queries regarding the trek, you can directly contact us for a booking at info@nepalnirvanatrails.com or via WhatsApp at +977 9841380469.
