The Kanchenjunga North Base Camp Trek leads to Pangpema Camp (5,163 m), situated at the foot of the immense north face of Mount Kanchenjunga (8,586 m), the third-highest mountain in the world. It is considered one of the most remote and unspoiled trekking routes in the Nepalese Himalayas and passes through the Kanchenjunga Conservation Area.
This trek is an adventurous route in Nepal that traverses the remote and pristine Kanchenjunga region. It is a relatively new trekking route that was opened to international trekkers only a few years ago.
The journey begins in the town of Taplejung / Sekhathum Zero Point in eastern Nepal and passes through picturesque villages, dense forests, lush valleys, and high mountain passes. Along the way, trekkers are rewarded with breathtaking views of the majestic peaks of Kanchenjunga and Kumbhakarna, also known as Jannu.
During the trek, hikers also cross the Lumbasumba Pass, which lies at an altitude of approximately 5,163 meters. This pass presents a significant challenge due to its steep and demanding terrain, but the effort is rewarded with spectacular panoramic views.
The route continues through remote valleys and past traditional villages where local communities maintain their simple way of life. Trekkers have the opportunity to experience the unique culture and lifestyle of the ethnic groups living in this region, including the Sherpa, Rai, and Limbu peoples.
