Kanchenjunga South Base Camp Trek-16 Days

You will be picked by our staff from airport in a private vehicle. Then you will be dropped off at your hotel.

Today you go for a sightseeing around the Kathmandu valley and also start your preparation for trek that is to be started from tomorrow.

After breakfast, you will fly domestically from Kathmandu to Bhadrapur to start your Kanchenjunga South Base Camp Trek. It will give you a bird’s-eye view of the ground below and take about 45 minutes.

Following that, you will board a local vehicle in Bhadrapur and go to Illam. This trip will take three to four hours, depending on the condition of the roads. When you first arrive in Illam, you can see some of the area’s well-known tea estates after settling into your lodging.

On the fourth day of the Kanchenjunga South Base Camp Trek, there will be a bus or vehicle available for transportation. Following breakfast, you will take another road vehicle (bus or jeep) to complete your trip from Illam to Taplejung. The path is rugged and bumpy, so you will probably be riding in a jeep.

In front of you is agricultural land, and behind you are tea plantations. As you continue, the Kanchenjunga Massif may be seen. After passing the little community of Phidim, continue driving through beautiful landscapes and forests until you arrive at Taplejung, where the route becomes steeper and more winding. Once you get at Taplejung, you will enter the Kanchenjunga Conservation Area.

Today’s Kanchenjunga South Base Camp Trekking Trail will follow the valley from town to tributary crossings and back up, passing through substantial areas of subtropical rainforest. The majority of the ethnic Kirantis in this region, which is now known as Limbus, work in traditional agriculture. You will pass through Batase, Deurali, and Deurali Bhanjyang on your route to Lalikharka, where you will stay in a tea house.

Before making a steep descent into Simbu, the route for today’s Kanchenjunga South Base Camp Trekking will first ascend to a ridge. The trail then descends a steep, hot road and crosses a suspension bridge over Phawa Khola after climbing sharply up to Kunjari, a settlement of sporadic banana and bamboo trees.

Kande Bhanjyang, Sinchebu, and Sinchewa Bhanjyang are Gurung hamlets with beautiful tea houses for accommodation, although it’s a long climb upwards. The Kabeli Valley is visited for the rest of the day.

You will first see the Kangchenjunga landscape throughout the walk. The path then heads into a forest and ends at Khesewa, a thriving community that grows rice, millet, and maize.

You will begin your journey to reach Kanchenjunga South Base Camp Trek following a delicious breakfast in Khesewa. The peaks of Simvu, Jannu, and Kanchenjunga will be seen as you traverse this fascinating region today. The rhododendron woodlands are ablaze with colourful blooms in the spring.

You will walk on a very level trail through mixed woodlands as you get closer to the Kabeli Khola after packing. A series of little waterfalls lights up your faces. You will stop for lunch at Yangpang, which provides stunning views of Mount Jannu, after travelling north. There will be a steep 20-minute climb up to Pumpe Dada in the latter portion of the day.

Today’s walk will mostly go uphill on a moderate trail that passes by the Kabeli Khola. You will be amazed by the breathtaking ridge that is located beyond the creek as you hike. Behind rocky cliffs, you will plunge on rubble from past landslides after climbing a few switchbacks up the valley.

The walk is beautiful, winding through rhododendron forests and wildflower-filled fields. Watch for predatory birds such as kites and eagles, in addition to the Himalayan pheasants. The Kanchenjunga massif may be seen for the majority of the day. After going through numerous small communities and across a brief suspension bridge, you will reach Yamphuding.

The bulk of hikers go for the direct path to reach Torongding. You will continue your Kanchenjunga South Base Camp Trek towards Lasiya (Lamite) Bhanjyang on a well-kept stepped trail surrounded by historic rhododendrons.

The path drops from Lasiya to a grassy pass that overlooks a large landslip and offers a view of Mt. Jannu, also called Kumbakarna, to the northeast. After climbing to a height of about 150 meters, you will descend to the Simbuwa Khola over a muddy zigzag path through a lovely forest before continuing your climb to Torongding.

Today’s  Trek route will pass through a pastureland and pine and rhododendron woods, where you might see a herd of yaks grazing. However, be cautious because some of them are playful.

After crossing Yak Kharka and Anda Phedi, you will arrive at a Buddhist shrine that is decorated with prayer flags, Trisuls, and rock cairns. This shrine, which has a small grotto, marks a sacred portion of the valley’s border. The rest of your trip will pass a large level field where there is a single cabin at 3870 meters that is used as a temporary lodge.

The Kanchenjunga South Base Camp Trekking track climbs and traverses a large loose culvert before returning to the Yak Kharka after traversing a lovely pine and rhododendron woodland with a small stream. After a brief ascent from Cheram, you will reach the beginning of the Yalung Glacier.

Climbing over the snout of the Yalung Glacier and into a series of ablation valleys offers a breathtaking panorama. The peaks of Talung (7,349m), Kabru (7,338m), and Rathong (6,678m) encircle the terminal moraine of the Yalung Glacier, which features a frozen lake and glistening streams. The final teahouse on the Kanchenjunga South Base Camp Trek is located in Ramche. From Oktang Viewpoint (4,730m to 4,903m / 15,518 to 16,090ft), you may enjoy breathtaking views of the South Face of Kanchenjunga, Mt. Jannu, Nyukla Lanchung, and other mountains.

You will be returning to a lower height today, which will make walking across the terrain simpler. You will return to Cheram by taking the same path that took you there on Day 8. You would have to pass through towns like Lapsang and Yalung Bara on your way to Cheram. You will reach Torongding via Pasang Danda, Anda Phedi, and Cheram. It’s going to be a long but relaxing day, so let your feet walk and your eyes enjoy the stunning landscape.

From Torongding, you will begin your trek in the direction of Lasiya Bhanjyang. A bypass must be ascended 150m above the trail’s perilous fall to the right to reach the grassy Lasiya Bhanjyang. The Kanchenjunga South Base Camp Trek Route offers a far-off view of Kumbhakarna (7711m) in the northeastern blue highlands as it climbs the slope beyond the Bhatti via silver trees.

The route below improves as the yaks are moved in a different direction. But the stepped track that descends never stops till it reaches Amji Khola. After an hour-long climb that crosses the open Kharka (2926m) of Chitre, a wooden bench, called Chautara, is situated at a pivotal intersection. Finally, you arrive in Yamphuding, a main Sherpa settlement. For this reason, it is sometimes referred to as Sherpagaon.

Today marks the end of your journey to Kanchenjunga South Base Camp. From Yamphuding, you will hike for six to seven hours to reach Ranipul. From Ranipul, you will take a local vehicle to Phidim. You will also be driving, and this is part of your plan.

To get to Ranipul, the trail begins moderately uphill and then generally descends. During your four-hour journey to Ranipul, you will pause for lunch. It would be an amazing experience to arrive to the peaceful woodland on the last day of the Kanchenjunga South Base Camp Trek. The little community of Ranipul is located near the Tamar River. From Ranipul, you will travel through quaint villages and rolling terraced hills before reaching Phidim.

Following breakfast, you will ride in a native jeep from Phidim to Bhadrapur, the airport, which will take you into the lowland Terai region of Nepal, beyond the foothills. You will take a domestic flight back to Kathmandu from Bhadrapur. Aerial views of the trip show four 8000-meter summits—Everest, Makalu, Lhotse, and Kanchenjunga—as well as many snow-capped peaks.

After an amazing 45-minute flight over the mountains and valleys, your Kanchenjunga South Base Camp Trek will come to an end. A member of our crew will greet you at the airport in Kathmandu. After that, you will be drive to a good hotel in Thamel. After you spend the rest of the day alone, we will arrange a goodbye dinner at a traditional Nepalese restaurant including a live stage play.

Our representative will bring  you  to the international Airport for your departure flight.  We hope to welcome you  back to Nepal in Furture .
