On the far eastern border of
Nepal lies Mt. Kanchenjunga (8586m), the third highest peak in the world. The
valley approaching the mountain base camp has been opened to trekking,
specifically for organized treks. The long trek to the lap of Kangchenjunga
takes one through some of the country's richest and most pristine forests. The
region is quite uninhabited, so the visitor must bring along all food and
camping equipment. Most groups fly in and out of Taplejung, which requires a
plane change from Biratnagar.
You could also walk to
Taplejung from Basantapur which takes about three days. Two separate routes head
northeastwards from Taplejung, one to the North Base Camp, the other to the
South Base Camp. These routes can be combined into a circuit.
