Trip Overview

You can take advantage of an 11-day Kanchenjunga base camp trekking package to experience the captivating beauty and charisma that the world’s third-highest peak possesses. The journey begins in the Sikkim hamlet of Yuksom, and the first paths lead to Bakhim. As you approach the Paha Khola Bridge, take in the breathtaking sights of the Rathong River, the evergreen fern plantations, orchid gardens, rare birds, and swimming pools. The benefits you will experience on the first day are vistas of the Prek Chu River.
The nicest portion of the entire Kanchenjunga Base Camp trek is the Dzongri journey, which will allow you to pass through the Tshoka hamlet before bringing you to Phedang Pass and providing you with the best views of the Pandim, Thenchinkhang, and Jhuponu mountains. Your two-day clam host will be Dzongri. Your next stop will be Bikhbari, and then the center of your excursion will be Khangchendzonga Base Camp. It can provide you with spectacular sunset views. Some of the advanced mountaineering courses are annually held at the camps by the Himalayan Mountaineering Institute, Darjeeling. You can observe the mysterious beauty of Koktang, Kabur, and Rathong from the base of Frey’s Peak.
