It is in the large portion of Himalaya called the Kanchenjunga Himal and it spreads over 7000 meters.

      • Good quality and sturdy trekking shoes that cover your ankles. Refrain from using sport shoes for your own safety and the trails are uneven and tricky hence requiring good grip trekking shoes. If you are buying new shoes for your trek, please remember to use them for at least a month before you commence your holiday.

      • You will be served Indian vegetarian food during this trek. Breakfast and Dinner are included. Himalayan water is considered a clean and mineral water but to be on the safe side you will get boiled water with chlorine tablets.

      • Altitude sickness is very common among trekkers during Himalayan treks; it is wise to consult your doctor for the right medication before your trip. Drinking lots of water can also help stabilize the body along with resting at regular intervals. The best rate of acclimatization is to gain no more than 300m (1000 feet) per day. If you increase this rate you will be much more susceptible to Elevation Sickness. Getting adequate sleep also can help avoid this.

      • No. Since both these activities can let your body dehydrate easily. Then you will find it very difficult to complete the stretches. Alcohol will open the pores in your skin and let the cold get inside and make the body temperature in terms with the temperature outside. But it will finally lead you to feel dehydrated and thirsty. Hence try not to smoke or consume alcohol. Many of the trekking tours will not allow the participants to do any such activities during the trek.

      • The best season to embark on this trek is between the months of Mid April – June and Mid September - November. Trekkers should avoid going for trekking during the monsoon as the trails get slippery and roads remain blocked due to torrential rains. In the winter season, the trekking is often impossible as it snows heavenly and trails become inaccessible and the weather quite foul.

      • Being a restricted area, the solo trek is not allowed in this region. You can encounter high risk in such a wild and uneven topography. The rule demands a companion along the journey or in a group with a registered guide. The trails might lead to difficult landscapes and even communication is poor. You will rarely meet a large group of people along the journey except in the lodges. So, it is not an option to trek alone in this region.

        Kanchenjunga Trekking with Nepal Trek Adventure

        I hailed down originated from the Kanchenjunga Trekking of 22 days with Nepal Trek Adventures and Expedition. I can't suggest the association with NTA enough with words. Simple booking and brilliant correspondence before the journey; dependable gathering and welcoming nature, moves and inns either end of the trek. The trek was driven by inviting, prepared guidance and aided by extraordinary watchmen (guides and porters). They were great in the English language and had a more noteworthy experience in the Kanchenjunga trekking venture. They dealt with the gathering effectively. The splendid spotlight was on security, particularly nourishment cleanliness and crisis treatment (some minors though). I might want to trek with Nepal Trek Adventure and Expedition over and over in my lifetime. Highly recommended!

        Kanchenjunga Trekking Experience in Nepal

        We recently returned from an amazing Kanchenjunga Trek. Throughout the trek, we got to see various scenes and huge forests. Those panoramas gave us stunning knowledge in the high route Himalaya. The trail along the Tamor waterway and Gunsa stream were glorious. Moreover, the holy Pathivara Devi Temple lies in this trek. Rai, Limbu, Gurung, Tamang and Brahmin culture are as yet flawless and special. The two Buddhists and Hindus are religiously joined together. People are friendly, and they grow rice, millet, potatoes and now the cardamoms plantation. Sheep, Goats, cows, Yaks, Buffalo, and bull are the domestic cattle and produce the ghee, Chhurpee, Cheese, wool, and meats. The trekking trail was quite damaged after the monsoon. Numerous suspension and wood made bridges were gone. The track is changed. Furthermore, some teashops and houses were in danger of flooding. Because of Landslides, the best way to Khabachen to Lhonak is dangerous. There you ought to know while walking. Regularly stones are falling. While we were there, I saw people working and rebuilding. Even though the trial was dangerous, our guide Rajan Rijal never let us feels afraid. He, every time tried us to get distracted from that dangerous trail from his funny jokes and tales. Shout out to Nepal Trek Adventure and Expedition and the whole team. You guys are amazing and always make us want to go on a more amazing trek like this again and again with you all. I promise to visit you guys when I visit Nepal next time. Thank you!
