Kanchenjunga Region
Overview
The Kanchenjunga Region lies in the far northeast of Nepal, bordering Sikkim, India, and Tibet, China. This area is home to the world’s third-highest mountain, Mt. Kanchenjunga, which offers breathtaking panoramic views. Officially opened to travellers in 1998, this trekking region was off-limits before then, making it a more remote and exclusive destination today. Compared to other parts of the Himalayas, the Kanchenjunga Region remains less commercialised, allowing for a more authentic Himalayan adventure filled with pristine wilderness and fewer crowds.
Since ancient times, the trails here have served as important routes for trade and pilgrimage, weaving through both stunning landscapes and rich cultures. Experienced trekkers who seek long, high-altitude paths and off-the-beaten-track experiences will find these treks particularly suited to their skills. Tibetan Buddhism and Kirati traditions heavily influence the region, giving it deep spiritual, cultural, and mythological significance for both Hindu and Buddhist communities.
