Brief Introduction to Kanchanjunga Circuit Trekking

â€‹Mt. Kachenjunga (28,198ft & treasures of the snow) is the third highest mountain in the world and was first climbed by the British in 1956. Lying on the Nepal – Sikkim borders, the lush landscape of the Kanchenjunga area is an ideal environment for musk deer, blue sheep, and the infamous yeti. Few westerners have traveled to this remote area.

Kanchenjunga Round trek offers an endless variety of culture and changing countryside as it proceeds from terraced fields, forests of birch, bamboo, and rhododendron that eventually turn to stands of fir and hemlock as one climbs higher into the mountains. Himalayan bear, barking deer, and the lesser panda are among the rich animal and birdlife that fill the area. Kanchanjunga, Makalu and the spectacular Jannu are among the peaks at the outset of the trek. Passing through villages of Brahmins and Chhetries, you enter an almost exclusive Limbu territory with a scatter of Gurung and Sherpa settlements.

Trekking in the Kanchenjunga area is a long course and offers one of the best high altitude trekking trips, leading the famous peaks of eastern Nepal as Kanchenjunga and mysterious Jannu via the enormous Yalung Glacier. It also allows a trip to Lamsang La and Kanchenjunga glacier. The view of Kanchenjunga range and Kanchenjunga (8,556m) the third highest in the world, from the north base camp is simply breathtaking and unforgettable, as is the north face of Jannu, a worthy destination itself. The trail goes from the Sub Tropical lowlands up to the Yalung Glacier 5000m; enable the trekkers to experience a diverse cross-section of topography, people, culture, fauna, and flora. Set in a remote wilderness, inhabited by a few nomadic yak herders, this region has much to offer the adventurous trekkers who are looking for something different.

Drohmo Ri Hike/Climb !!!

The summit of Drohmo Ri gives you the feel of 6000m peak summit.
Climbing on Drohmo Ri (5,960m) doesn’t any any climbing permit as its a day hiking peak about 3.5 hours up and 1.5 hours down. The climb starts right from Kanchenjunga North (Pangpema) Base Camp (5,140m), if we in normal season time we may not even need crampons nor any other climbing hardware gears. The route is up easy grassy slopes to begin with and then over boulders and when we reach close to the summit of the peak, its bit rocky area and the view from the summit is stunning to the Kanchenjunga massif, Drohmo Peak, Nepal Peak and many other peaks of 7,000m, therefore if any-one ever trekked to Pangpema base camp to see the north side of Kanchenjunga, then you should definitely allow an extra day to climb/hike to Drohmo Ri, the view is something very special which should not me missed out.

We need an extra additional day to include Drohmo Ri hike on your itinerary with additional cost of USD 100 and you have to tell us while booking your trip.

Journey Outline

We will fly from KTM to Bhadrapur and continue to Taplejung by drive. From Taplejung, we will begin our trek following a route along a ridge top towards the TamourRiver where we will enjoy panoramic views of the Makalu (27,825’) and Chamlung(24,000’) peaks. We will continue through forests and rhododendron thickets and soon the Kanchenjunga range will appear. Trekking through the Limbu villages to the terraced mountainside village of Amji-Lhasa, we will get to the legendary Sherpa village of Ghunsa (11,400ft). We will visit the monastery there and soon have our first glimpse of a sea of unclimbed peaks including the Jannu(25,289ft) known as a “mystery peak” or “Terror “. We will trek to the edge of the Kanchenjunga glacier and after crossing the lateral moraine; we will cut across at this junction and arrive at our campsite at Lhonak, an undisturbed landscape of unspeakable beauty.

After a couple of days rest and exploration at Lhonak including a day trip to Pangpema (16900ft) to see the north face of Kanchenjunga, we will head south to Yalung glacier. We will cross the two passes, the Lapsang La (16700ft) or Margin La(15300ft) depending on which is the safest at the time, into the Simbua Khola valley and camp at Ramche (14000ft). We will rest and explore the Yalung Glacier and the southern face of Kanchenjunga, then begin the trek returns. Your dream of seeing one of the most remote lands in the world will be fulfilled.

Day 3
Kathmandu to Bhadrapur flight (45 min), and drive to Taplejung (8hrs)

We will fly from KTM to Bhadrapur, this will be about 45min flight with scenic close-up views of Mt. Makalu, Mt. Kanchenjunga, Mt. Everest and other peaks and mountains. Once we land in Bhadrapur airport, we will straight take Jeep drive to Taplejung, this drive will be about 8hrs, we will reach Taplejung little late in the evening and
we will stay overnight in a guesthouse.

Day 4
Drive by local jeep Taplejung to Sekathum (1585m) - 5hrs

After breakfast in Taplejung, we take a Jeep drive from Taplejung to Sekathum about 5hrs and stay in the local teahouse there for the night.

Alternative Plan: The trail stretches uphill and downhill through terraced fields of cardamom and forest of pine and oaks to lead us to Sekathum. After pursuing the escalating trail for almost an hour, we will lower down to the Tamor River via green field. This is a short journey where we will gain almost 300m altitude in mere six hours. From Tamor River, we will continue walking till we reach Ghunsa River which we will cross to arrive at Sekathum. Stay overnight in Sekathum.

Day 5
Sekathum to Amjilosa (2,395m) - 5hrs

This is going to be a bit tough day as we will be walking through slippery gorge. Crossing the suspension bridge, we will enter the forest area from where the trail stretches up and down to the river. Crossing the river via bridge, we will walk uphill to Solima Village. From Solima village, the trail lowers down to yet another river. We need to walk for almost seven hours on this day. Caution is required to walk through slippery gorges to take us finally to Amjilosa. Amjilosa is the point where we will leave lower section of Kanchenjunga region and enter Upper Section. There will be differences in vegetation, culture and local life in lower and upper section. Stay overnight in Amjilosa.

Day 6
Amjilosa to Gyabla (2,730m) - 4/5hrs

Leaving Amjilosa early in the morning after breakfast, we will take seven hours of long walk to Gyabla. We will witness many Tibetan refugee settlements on our way, mostly near Phale village. The trail continues along riverbank and traverses bamboo, fir and rhododendron forest to take us to the tiny stone house existing near to the river. We will follow the uphill trail and cross bridges at few points. We will also enjoy the views of cascading waterfall at few points. A short uphill climb will take us to the Tibetan settlement of Gyabla. Tibetan Handmade products like beads, carpet and other souvenir items are for sale on Gyabla. Stay overnight in Gyabla.

Day 7
Gyabla to Ghunsa (3,427m) - 4hrs

Leaving Gyabla, we will take the downhill trek to the river from where the valley opens wide to Phale which is also the Tibetan Refugee Settlement area. One can buy gift items like handmade rugs on Phale. We need to cross conifer and pine forest to reach Ghunsa that is inhabited by Sherpa ethnics who have different culture than Rais and Limbus who are found in Lower Section of Kanchenjunga Region. This is the place where helicopter carrying more than twenty remarkable environment conservationists including Dr, Harka Gurung had crashed. Stay overnight in Ghunsa.

Day 8
Acclimatization Day at Ghunsa

Since Ghunsa is located at an altitude of more than 3500m, it is wise to take a day of rest for proper acclimatization. There are many comfortable teahouses for accommodation in Ghunsa. Ghunsa is considered as the headquarters of Kanchenjunga North. We can explore Ghunsa or climb to the nearby ridge for better views of surrounding mountains and peaks. Another alternative is to visit the Lpasan La Monastery for which we need to walk through the forest area. We will return back to Ghunsa from the Monastery for overnight stay.

Day 9
Ghunsa to Khambachen (4050m) - 5hrs

The path from Ghunsa to Khambachen continues through the landslide area that takes us through off the beaten section of Kanchenjunga North. Leaving Ghunsa, we will follow the scenic path with views of surrounding mountains and peaks. We will walk along the edge of river towards northern territory. We will be greetd with the pleasant aura of pasture land full of lush green vegetation and rhododendron and pine forest. The trail leads us to Rampuk Kharka from where we will walk along the cascading waterfall and arrive at yet another landslide prone area. We can get close-up view of northern face of Mount Jannu once we walk past the landslide prone area. Kambachen, Lhonak and Pangpema are temporary settlements where we can find small stone teahouses for shepherd’s settlement during summer. Stay overnight in Khambachen.

Day 10
Rest Day at Khambachen

Located at an altitude of 4050m, Kambachen is a high alpine area of grass land with absence of forest. Khambachen is the perfect place for taking rest from trek as it will help us to get acclimatized to the high alpine region of northern hemisphere. This will also prepare us and refill our energy that we will require for next two days to make it to the north base camp of Kanchenjunga. We can explore the Nupchu River Valley in the afternoon. Report to the guide immediately if you are feeling unwell. Evacuation from Pangpema is difficult than from Khambachen. Stay overnight in Khambachen.

Day 11
Khambachen to Lhonak (4,780m) - 4hrs

This is going to be a long and tiring day as we need to trek for around seven hours to reach Lhonak from Khambachen. We will begin our trek early in the morning. We will walk past the field of rocks and boulders and enter Ramtang Valley as we pass through the Ramtang Monastery. This Monastery exists near to the bridge which we will arrive after passing through the cascading waterfall. We will visit the Monastery and take brief rest before continuing our journey through the landslide prone area. Keep your eyes open for loose rocks that make the path tricky. We will lower down to the river and follow the path that greets us with the first view of Lhonak settlement. There are very few small stone teahouses in Lhonak. These teahouses are a summer settlement of shepherds. Accommodation in these teahouses will not be comfortable. We might prefer accommodation in tent in Lhonak and Pangpema. Lhonak is a pasture land that is surrounded with hills and mountains. Stay overnight in Lhonak.

Day 12
Lhonak to Pang Pema Base Camp (5,143m), return to Lhonak (4,780m) - 7hrs

Pang Pema is the North Base Camp of Kanchenjunga. We will walk through the landslide prone area and fields of rocks and boulders to reach the grassy plain land of North Base Camp. We will climb to the nearby ridge for the close-up views of Mount Jannu, Chang Mountain and an incredible view of North Face of Kanchenjunga. We can meet with climbers who are on their way or have returned from climbing Peak 5950 which takes extra four days from Pangpema. Climbing Peak 5950 does not require climbing permit. After enjoying the stupefying views of Mountains and Peaks, we will retrace our route back to Lhonak where we will stay overnight.

Day 13
Lhonak to Ghunsa (3,427m) - 6hrs

Continuing our return trip, we will leave Lhonak and lower down to Ramtang Monastery. After taking brief rest in Ramtang Valley, we will walk past the landslide area to arrive at the bridge which we will cross and walk past waterfall to arrive at Khambachen. Descending trail is easier. So we can easily make it to Lhonak from Ghunsa in a single day without having to take a day of rest in Khambachen. The trail is scenic with views of Kanchenjunga, Gimmigela Peak, Mera Peak and other peaks and mountains at the backdrop. Following the descending trail from Kambachen, we will reach Ghunsa from where we can find the permanent settlements. We can meet with trekkers from Selele who are on Kanchenjunga South Base Camp Trek. Stay overnight in Ghunsa.

Day 14
Ghunsa to Selele Phedi (4,290m) - 4hrs

Leaving Ghunsa early in the morning, we will leave the trail leading us to Gyabla and choose the right path all the way to Sele Le. Selele is not inhabited by locals. We will walk past the forest of rhododendron and juniper. This region is rich in wildlife. Many travellers claim to see snow leopard on this area. So always stick together and do not walk alone. This will be our final night on northern Kanchenjunga as we will reach Cheram village on Kanchenjunga South after passing through Selele Pass on the next day. Stay overnight in Selele.

Day 15
Selele to Cheram (3,870m) - 6hrs

This is the challenging day as we need to move up and down through the steeper section. We will begin our trek early in the morning. Climbing the steep uphill section, we will make it to the summit of Sele Le Pass from where we will enjoy the views of Kanchenjunga North Face, Mount Makalu and Mount Jannu. We must climb slow and steady as it demands more energy. The path from Cheram to Ramche continues uphill. We will descend from Selele Pass and move towards the lower section of Kanchenjunga South. The trail continues through the boulder valley to Cheram which is the first village that we will find on our Kanchenjunga South Base Camp journey. We will proceed further to Yalung from Cheram where we will stay overnight.

Day 16
Cheram to Ramche (4,580m) - 5hrs

Walking past the snout of Yalung glacier which is also known as Kanchenjunga south Glacier, we will reach Simbuwa River. Crossing this river, we will advance towards Lapsang Village before making it to Ramche. Ramche is known as the Kanchenjunga South Base Camp. We can enjoy the unobstructed views of Manaslu, Kanchenjunga and other surrounding mountains and peaks from Ramche. Accommodation will be more comfortable in tents at Ramche.

Day 17
Trek to Oktang valley (4780m), return to Ramche - 6hrs

After having breakfast, we will leave Ramche and make side trip to Oktang Valley. Moving near to the ridgeline which greets us with spectacular view of Kanchenjunga South Face and southern face view of Mount Jannu, we will advance towards remote Oktang Valley where we will visit ancient Oktang Monastery. Finally, we have completed Kanchenjunga North Base Camp as well as Kanchenjunga South Base Camp in a single trip. We will return to Ramche from Oktang Valley for overnight stay.

Day 18
Ramche to Tortong (2,995m) - 6hrs

The path from Ramche to Tortong is relatively easy. From Ramche, we will take an hour of walk from Ramche to Cheram at which point the trail branches in two directions. We will choose the right hand side path and cross Simbuwa River to enter the forest of rhododendron. Trek from Ramche to Tortong almost takes seven hours during which we will lose altitude of more than thousand meter. Compared to the high alpine region, there is well management of accommodation in tea houses in Lower Section of Kanchenjunga including Tortong. Have a comfortable stay at Tortong.

Day 19
Trek to Kengsara (6 / 7 hrs)

From Tortong, we will take the newly build shorter trekking route over Yasang instead of traditional longer route to yamphudin to Suketar. Tortong and Kengsara is quite a long day walk crossing over Yasang la, its mostly uphill hike, this route makes the trek day shorter by 2 days. We stay in over night at Kengsara in a local lodge and next day short walk to Lapsetar from where we get local jeep to Taplejung.

Day 20
Short walk (2 hrs) to Lapsetar / Zero Point and drive to Taplejung same day, 5 hours

From Kengsara, we will follow the trail along green field to the collection of teahouses. Advancing further, we will reach Lapsetar or little further to Zero Poing. This is a short yet pleasant walk. From there we take local jeep to Taplejung about 5 hours drive on dirt road, we reach Taplejung in the late afternoon / evening only. Stay in Guesthouse in Taplejung Bazar. See around the small beautiful town and experience the local livelihood.

Day 21
Drive to Bhadrapur (8hrs) and fly to KTM (40min)

We will try to catch an early morning flight from Suketar to Kathmandu directly. If this flight is not available, then we take drive to Bhadrapur (8 hrs) and take later afternoon flight to KTM the same day. You will be transferred to hotel for overnight stay.

Day 22

Fitness Requirements for the Trek

This kind of trek is challenging but doesn’t really require previous trekking and mountaineering experiences and also doesn’t require any technical experience. But if you have any previous experiences would be really helpful. Your fitness is really important for this trek; therefore we strongly suggest preparing yourself in good physical condition. You need to be trained at least for about 3 to 5 months to prepare yourself as a strong candidate.

You can go to the fitness center every morning for about 1.5 hours, do hiking every weekend with increasing weights on your pack, manage some time for cycling for a couple of hours for 2 or 3 times a week. However, at the high altitude, there might be little symptoms of altitude illness like mild headache, fatigue, etc. but take it as normal and just drink enough water (4 – 5 liters) every day. On this trek, you need to be able to hike 4 – 8 hours over hilly terrain up to 5,500m of altitude with a daypack.

Value of Previous Experience

If you have any previous experiences would be helpful but if you don’t have is also not an important matter of issue. This trek will introduce you to trekking in the Himalayas and also about the local cultures, traditions, and local people. Even if you are around the age of 65 years, you can be a candidate for this trek.

Oct 2024 • Couples

While we were looking for a support agency for a customized trekking program for the Kangchenjunga area, we immediately appreciated the fact that Dream Himalaya Adventures already included the possibility of climbing Drohmo Ri, a non-technical but almost 6000m high viewpoint, above the North Base Camp of Kangchenjunga. The Managing Director Dawa Sherpa then answered very accurately and quickly all our additional questions about other possible optional excursions, the possibility of managing the stages in a flexible way, the possible overnight stay in Pangpema, the difficulties of the itinerary, the conditions of the accommodation and the current possibilities of road access to the area. From our contacts it was clear that he had experience and excellent knowledge of the area. In the end we decided to proceed with the booking of the trip with Dream Himalaya Adventures and now we can say that we are very happy with it.
The trek was amazing and rewarding, with excellent organizational support starting from the first meeting in Kathmandu to check our equipment and clarify the last organizational details. During the trek, from one of the few places with telephone coverage, our Guide was also able to get an update on the weather conditions from the headquarters to better manage the following days. It should be noted that the Guide also had a satellite phone to use in case of need.
Of course, we also greatly appreciated the friendship and skills of our Nepalese trekking companions, the guide Pemba Sherpa and Dhanbadur Rai.
As for the trek, although it does not present technical difficulties, the necessary commitment should not be underestimated, for the remote places where it takes place, sometimes with few comforts, for the altitudes reached and for the paths that are sometimes impervious and not "tamed".

I highly recommend Dream Himalaya. They have a first-rate operation with personal attention to trek planning, good communication before and during the trek, and excellent trek organization. In spring 2024 I contacted Dream Himalaya to arrange a custom solo private trek. Dream Himalaya came recommended by a Sherpa friend who has used their services a lot. Dream Himalaya’s manager, Dawa Sherpa (Lama), corresponded with me via email to plan the trek and made all arrangements. Dawa Sherpa fine-tuned the trip arrangements exactly as I wished and came through on every detail, including arranging a private jeep to and from trailheads, telephoning lodges to reserve rooms (this is important during busy times of the year on popular routes), and providing an

The trip was excellent! This was our third trip to Nepal after Annapurnatrek and Kailash and agencywise it was by far the best one! Already the time in Kathmandu was greatly planned. During the trek and climb (14 days) everything worked out perfectly. Our guide (Nigma, a multiple Everest summiter (!)) was more then experienced and summit days was a blast for me and my son (16 y.). On ChoLa Pass (5.300 m) we got in a little trouble, since my wife had problems with the altitude, but this was solved immidiatly by our guide with a bottle of oxygene and she got down safely. As far as I can tell, we always stayed in the nicest guest- and teahoues

From the first morning meeting, when Dawa Sherpa Lama (our trip organizer and guide) carefully advised us on what to pack and what to leave in hotel in Kathmandu while we were on our high altitude trek, to the hike from Lukla to Namche Bazaar to the Sherpa village of Thame, to Everest View Hotel and then up to Tengboche Monastery -- and finally back to the city for tourist sites and shopping, we were in the best of hands. We had fun, we felt adventurous and always safe and well accommodated at nice tea houses and lodges. Such an amazingly stunning country! All the special requests I had made for research for my book were met and then some.
