Wandelgids Kangchenjunga: A Trekker's Guide | Cicerone

A guide to trekking in the Kangchenjunga region of the Himalayas of Nepal. With its five summits, Kangchenjunga is the world’s third highest peak. Includes the North Base Camp trek - considered to be the most beautiful walk in the world, Ghunsa to the Simbua Khola valley, southern approaches and trekking to Kangch from Sikkim.

Seasons
March to May and October to November. Monsoon is too wet (and there may well be no view) and winter is too cold.

Centres
Access is through Kathmandu, then flight to Biratnagar and bus to the roadhead at Basantpur, or bus the whole way (1-2 days).

Difficulty
Mainly acclimatisation, but trekking here is far from the facilities of the Khumbu and Annapurna regions and the going is much rougher. At present, Maoists might be a concern.

Must See
Has been described as The Most Beautiful Walk in the World. The views and the Nepali people and culture. Not the loos.
