Overview
Stand below the towering north face of Mount Kanchenjunga (8,586 m), the world's third-highest peak, on this remote restricted-area trek in far-eastern Nepal. The Pangpema viewpoint offers an unforgettable close-up of the gigantic Kanchenjunga north face, while the trail wends through Limbu and Sherpa villages, dense rhododendron forests, and the magnificent Kanchenjunga Conservation Area. With far fewer trekkers than Everest or Annapurna, this is a real adventure for those who want true wilderness.
