Kanchenjunga Circuit Trekking tour 14 days is a remote mountain trail ideal for trekkers who enjoy solitude. It is also an opportunity to reach the world’s third tallest mountain base camp. Located in the far north-eastern corner of Nepal, Mt. Kanchenjunga is considered one of the most beautiful mountain massifs, scaling 8,586m. Kanchenjunga Park is a wilderness virtually untouched by time and tourism, perfect for the adventurous trekker looking for something unique. The trek heads through diverse land topography, forests, and villages.

You’ll see central, south, and north Kanchenjunga, Yalungkang, Mt. Jannu, Makalu, Lhotse, and Mt. Everest on the way to Selena Pass. Keep your eyes open; you might see snow leopards, musk deer, and several species of birds, along with the country’s most pristine oak and rhododendron forests.

After trekking through the forested area, the trail winds into higher and harsher terrain. Cross the Mirgin-La pass at 4725 meters and enjoy the views of Makalu, Chamlang, and Everest. Next, you will pass the glacier, and finally, you are rewarded with an incredible, close-up view of the Kanchenjunga peak as you approach the Kanchenjunga base camp at Pang Pema.
