3. Kanchenjunga South Base Camp Trek Itinerary:

The Kanchenjunga south base camp trek generally starts with a scenic flight from Kathmandu to Bhadrapur and we take a drive from Bhadrapur to Taplejung – Yamphudin and basically we start to walk from here.

Kanchenjunga south base camp is not as popular as the north base camp and kanchenjunga circuit trek. Most of the adventure lovers first want to do the north base camp and then cross the sele la pass and connect to the south basecamp route. But very few people have done the north base camp already and still want to do the south base camp, and you may want to visit the south base camp trek of Kanchenjunga.

Some adventure trekkers, those who have a plan for a long trek, connect to Kanchenjunga base camp and the Makalu base camp trek via the Lumba Sumba pass, then it is a good idea to go to the first Kanchenjunga south base camp and cross the Sele la pass and visit the north Pangpema base camp—back to Ghunsa and continue the trek to the Olagchong valley, then continue the trek to Lumba sumba pass to connect the Makalu region.

Some people still follow the first Kanchenjunga south base camp trail and then go to the north base camp trek as well. It depends on your interest and time. But we highly recommend to everyone those people who are looking to explore both base camps of kanchenjunga then go to the first north base camp and then return to the south base camp as the normal route. This is the route most of the adventure people used to follow.

Day 14: Fly back to your next destination.

Above all three itineraries is a suggested general itinerary. You can also customize the itinerary as per your interest and timetable, as the Kanchenjunga region offers many optional day hikes and side trips during the trek.

Attitude and acclimatization during the kanchenjunga base camp trek:

The highest altitude of the Kanchenjunga trek is 5100m above sea level in the North Base Camp of Kanchenjunga. Basically, high altitude starts after 2500m above. The beginning of the kanchenjunga trek route is located between 1000m to 3500m so you don’t feel the high altitude until you reach Ghunsa. After Ghunsa, the altitude gain gradually increases day by day to the North base camp alt. 5100m. Making the Kanchenjunga trek itinerary is a very important role to play to make the trek successful. We always suggest to you, please make enough acclimatization days before we reach the higher region of the trek. In general, we include a few days of acclimatization in Ghunsa, Lonak and Tserem if you are doing the full Kanchenjunga trek. going slowly with the proper acclimatization helps you to succeed on the trek. If you plan to do it quicker and without proper acclimatization, it can affect the trek, and you can’t complete the trek due to the high altitude effect.

Avoid the high altitude sickness you have to have strong physical and mental preparation as well during the trek please drink plenty of water, take extra rest days, flexible itinerary, not rush to going up, eat healthy and diet foods and compltly avoide the alcohol and smoke. If you takecare all above suggested lits you will have less worries high altitude sickness.

So, proper acclimatization, a good itinerary and good planning can play a vital role in completing the Kanchenjunga trek. To this message to every adventure lover and traveler, and to those who are planning to do the trekking to the Kanchenjunga region, please make a flexible itinerary and do not plan to complete the trek in a short time if you don’t have enough time, as kanchenjunga trek itinerary requires many days.

Trek Difficulty and Fitness Level

The Kanchenjunga trek is one of the hardest, most challenging as well as  adventure trekking routes that lies in the remote, peace and quiet which located to the eastern part of Nepalese himalayas. If you are planning to do the kanchenjunga trek its demands good physical and mental preparation before the trek begins, as it is located on remote, far-in-the-mountain, adventurous trails during the trek.

Basically, everyday you have to trek 6/7 hours. A lot of ups and downs while  crossing several hills, mountains, and glaciers and reaching the different altitude level everyday which makes the trek difficult. Once you reach the higher regions of the trek, you may feel less oxygen, body, which makes it difficult to breathing and hard to walk when we have less oxygen in the body. Compared with the Annapurna region and Everest region trek routes, the Kanchenjunga is quiet harder trek. As it is located in the remote area, basic infrastructure, asphalted road, electricity and internet facilities has not reach every part  in the region.

The altitude, landscapes, and terrains are completely harder than the easy trekking in Nepal. The Kanchenjunga trek demands more preparation and past trekking experience before you want to do this trek.At least  you have to do some  basic training for 5-6 months before the trek starts, like running, Yoga, Hiking in the higher altitude with a heavy backpack and train cardiovascular training for easy breathing in the higher region of the trek. Before the Kanchenjunga trek starts you should do at least one few-day trek to check your stamina, preparation and your boots. If you prepared basically all of the above, the kanchenjunga trek can be easier for you, and you can complete the trek without any big issue.

Best time to go to the Kanchenjunga trek

The best time to do the kanchenjunga trek is autumn and spring seasons every year. As the weather is favorable like sunshine, clear skies, and reasonable temperature, there is no snow in the mountains or rain in the lower section of the trek. Autumn, september, October and November are the best times to do the trek. You will have clear visibility of mountain scenery, blue skies, and sunshine. After the weather clears, you will have great views of mountains, landscape and hills in the close distance. Autumn is always recommended for doing the trekking to Kanchenjunga.

Spring season March, April and May are the second biggest season after the autumn season in Nepal. As the weather is stable, there are good views, clear skies and sunshine. During the spring season the temperature is warmer than in the autumn season. Most of the big expeditions happens   in the spring season so while you are trekking in this season you can meet many expiditors at the base camp of the Kanchenjunga climb  sometime.

Winter season (December, January, and February) is not recommended, as the weather is cold, the temperature falls, it can be snowy in the mountain and not good visibility.

Monsoon season – June, July and Mid september is also not recommended, as it is rainy season in Nepal. It can be the no visibility, cloudiness, rain, landslide, flooding, etc. we don’t recommend it to anyone who wants to do this trek in monsoon season or Winter season.

But some place you may get better facilities too but don’t expect the luxury accommodation on this trek.

Food basically you can get the Nepalese organic food items like Dal bhat, breads, noodles, potatoes, eggs, fried rice, porridge, muesli, chapati, macaroni, pasta, etc., and hot drinks like black tea, milk tea, ginger honey tea, black coffee, and milk coffee.

Professional Guide & Strong Porter.

If you are planning to do the kanchenjunga trek a professional guide and strong porter are the most important to have with you. We recommend it to you – those who have been there with a group. As it is remote, and the difficult trek trail requires a professional guide, it is highly recommended. It’s the remoteness, and not many people used to do this trek the trail can be quite narrow, and the trail makes the confusion during the trek. It can be easier to navigate the trail and communicate with local people. Local people can’t speak the english so when you have a professional guide, it’s helpful to translate the language.

For safety and security, too, a guide is very important to have with you. Especially in the higher section of the trek, in case we lose the trail, there is heavy snow, avalanches, landslides, and poor visibility along the trek. as well strong porter to have on the team is very important, as they are the backbone who carry your equipment, and they have to walk with you. If there is a leaner or someone who never does these types of treks with groups, it can be a problem on the trails, so a professional guide and a strong porter to have with you are very important.

We have an experienced team that has been guiding for many years and has been on this trek many times with groups. We know how to take care of our customers and with the trail, our team is familiar, as they have been many times with groups.
