Kanchenjunga as the Queen of the Great Himalayas, stands on the Nepal-India (Sikkim) border high above rhododendrons and large forests with rivers pouring from it sides. On this trip you will be able to study the culture and life-style of the Rai & Limbu communities. Fly from Kathmandu to Taplejung and trek to Base-Camp at Pangpema and return to Taplejung by the same route; then fly back to Kathmandu (21 days).

The lowland portion of this region is culturally intriguing, but there are few good mountain views. The two treks that I have described here will probably need to be extended by a few days because of porter problems, weather, or the need for a rest day. The Kanchenjunga region is the home of the Limbus. Relatives of the Rais, Limbus dominate the region east of the Arun River and few live elsewhere. Limbu men wear a distinctive tall topi, a Nepalese cap that is much more colourful than that worn by other Nepalese. 

Alternatively bus drive to Basantpur & trek to the base camp; then back to Basantapur or Taplejung (25-28 days). Cross lobsang La or Mirgin La pass. Spending a few more days gives an adventure for interested clients.
