Stay : Kanchenjunga Trek - 16 days
The Kanchenjunga hiking circuit is one of the most explored and popular hiking destinations. The Kanchenjunga Conservation Area is highly protective of the area. The trail passes through hundreds of rare flora and fauna. Rhododendrons, green meadows, birch and pine trees, snow leopard, red panda, musk deer, etc. are the main vegetation here.
Kanchenjunga is the 3rd highest mountain in the world, standing proudly at 8585 m. It is magnificently situated in the far eastern region of Nepal's Taplejung district. Kanchenjunga takes its name from the Tibetan word for five great "treasures in the snow". This essentially symbolizes its five peaks: gold, silver, precious stones, grain and holy scriptures.
The Kanchenjunga authorities publicly opened the formerly forbidden area in 1988.
