Kanchenjunga Trek.

Kunchenjunga Trekking is the trek to the base camp of the world’s third highest peak, Kanchenjunga which is rich in natural beauty. In this vary region, a number of Glaciers originated from Himalaya have, no doubt, added beauties of this region. In the northern side Sherpa people in habit and ethnic group such as Rai, Limbu, Magar, Tamang, Brahmin, Chhetri etc inhabit in the southern lower part of Kanchenjunga region. The rather scattered type of ethnic settlement will show rather ethnic type of religion. The Kanchenjunga Himal is situated in the eastern frontier between Nepal and India. It is 8586m high. The trekking to this region was started only in 1988 because of relatively strenuous part and the presence of numerous wild animals, birds and flora pleasing abundantly. This area houses, Musk deer, Blue Sheep and legendry Yeti. The trek moves ahead through Suketar, a Chhetri village. From here, you will enjoy walking on the route along a ridge towards the Tamor River, enjoying the panoramic views of Makalu (27825 ft), Chamlang (24000 ft). The route continues upto Tamor River through Limbu villages (where a pot of village Tongba can be had) to the terraced mountain side village of Amjilassa and the legendary Sherpa village of Ghunsa (11400 ft). The lovely monastery in Ghumsa makes for an interesting visit before the first glimpse of a sea of unclimbed peaks including Jannu (25289 ft) known as Mystery Park or Terror Peak is visibly seen. The trail goes on to reach the edge of the Kanchenjunga glacier and after crossing the lateral moraine , you will come to the junction of Lorak glacier (15680 ft ) and the valley beyond it . The campsite of Lhorak can be reached by crossing the junction, an undisturbed landscape of unspeakable beauty. Your journey even reaches to Pangpema (16900ft) to admire the north face of Kanchenjunga.
