TREKS IN THE FAR EAST

Kanchenjunga Foothills

Designed for those who do not have the time to spend trekking to the base camps of Kanchenjunga this itinerary allows you to experience the splendour of this remote region of Nepal without the need to climb above 3500 metres elevation. The eastern regions of Nepal are both scenically and culturally rich but have been visited by relatively few western tourists. This itinerary takes you from the lowlands of the Terai up green, fertile river valleys until you emerge on a hilltop giving spectacular views of the Himalaya from Everest through Makalu and on to the Kanchenjunga massif itself. This trek could be combined with other activities such as rafting or jungle safaris to provide a magnificent experience of the beauty of Nepal and its' people.

Kanchenjunga Base Camps

Straddling the eastern border of Nepal with India is the third highest peak on earth, Kanchenjunga. Set in a remote wilderness, inhabited by only a few nomadic yak herders, this region has much to offer the adventurous trekker who is looking for something different. Starting in the lowlands of the Terai this itinerary takes you through the green fertile valleys of the east before climbing over high passes into an alpine wonderland of snow covered peaks and glaciers seen by only a few lucky trekkers. The base camps on the north and south sides of the mountain are among the most spectacular places that can be seen in the Himalaya.
