Kanchanjunga Trekking |
 |
|
Kanchenjunga trekking give you an opportunity to
see panoramic views from every direction. Kangchenjunga is the
third highest mountain in the world and the second highest in
Nepal. Kanchenjunga is translated along the lines of "Five
Treasures of the Snow" and the main peak is 8586m high. The
recently opened Kanchenjanga region offers the keen walkers the
chance to explore a totally unspoilt upland wilderness, which
offers a most beautiful and contrasting variety of scenery. Lush
farmland and wooded valleys give way, higher up, to breathtaking
mountain scenery, which includes close-up views of Kanchenjanga
and also distant panoramas of the mountains of the Khumbu.
A journey to this area is a special treat- starting from the
tropical lowlands through great rhododendron forests and lovely
villages of east Nepal upto the glacier and overwhelming views. A
trek to the south and north faces of the world's third highest
peak offers fantastic mountain views, including Everest. It
provides you with an adventure, which will stay forever. One of
the most remote and beautiful areas in Nepal, which, unused to
foreign visitors, still lies shrouded in mystery. The features of
the walk in are pleasant villages with different ethic groups then
in the high regions, glorious mountains and abundant wildlife.
The trails climb from 1200 meters (4,000ft) to 5180 meters
(17,094ft) above sea level. |
Difficulties of the Trek |
Since the terrain can be hard and the days long,
hikers on these treks should be in good physical condition and
have some previous mountain walking experience. But It does not
require any technical experience. Steep climbing may be involved,
although it is never necessary to use ropes. |
