Kanchenjunga Base Camp Trek
Beginning your Kanchenjunga Base Camp Trek from the small airstrip at Suketar in Taplejung, you make your way through isolated and awe inspiring trails, past dense forests and cascading Himalayan rivers. Kanchenjunga is the third tallest mountain in the world.
The magnificent mountain views of Kanchenjunga and surrounding mountains, traditional villages, Himalayan scenery and scarcity of other trekkers makes this trek an unforgettable experience.

5th Nov, 2018amazing experience with expedition himalaya! "I have just returned from trekking Everest Base Camp with 3 other wonderful girls and we couldn’t have done it without Expedition Himalaya! They had everything so well organised that we didn’t have to worry about a thing as everything ran smoothly our whole trip! Neema Sherpa was an unreal guide - constantly telling us info about the surrounding mountains, trekking conditions and altitude so that we had an enjoyable time but also felt extremely safe throughout our trek! I became unwell towards the end of the trip and Neema and the wonderful porters took great care of me :) always disappearing and turning up with strepsils and asking if I needed any medicine to make me feel better! Neema was constantly worrying about us and not himself and whenever we asked how he was it was alaways “perfect, obviously!” which was both humerous but also very humble :) This experience was genuinely amazing! All 4 of us 21 year old Australian girls making it to Base Camp, meeting some incredible people along the way and creating great relationships with our guide and porters during the experience! Could not recommend highly enough :)"

10th Oct, 2018"Excellent service". Excellent expedition support for our mountaneering expedition in the kanchenjunga area. Nabin and his staff have been outstanding with pre expedition communication and organizing all the permits. During the trip they organized all porters and Excellent gear and expedition cooks. Could not be more satisfied with their service very good price compared to other companies. Highly recommended. David bacci from Italy.
