Located in the eastern of the country adjoining Sikkim , a tiny Himalayan state, Kanchenjunga has always captured the imagination of all and sundry. The trail leads to the interiors of the third highest massif in the world. As we journey one we pass through hamlets inhabited by people from various ethnic backgrounds like the Rai, Limbus, Gurungs, Sherpas and Tibetans. Most villages have very less population and terraced fields, which look very impressive against the background of some of world's highest peaks, characterize the landscape. Crossing farmlands, gurgling streams and green rolling pastures is a part of the whole adventure. The feeling of looking at Kanchenjunga , Kabru, Januu, Rathong, Makalu and a host of other peaks from close quarters is indescribable Mt.Kanchenjunga.
With more than 1200 species of flowering plants, the area is rich in wildlife including the snow leopard, red panda, musk deer, Himalayan black bear and blue sheep.
Only camping organize trek is available and most have to issue trekking permit with more than two clients. |
