At 8,586 meters, Kangchenjunga is not only the second-highest mountain in Nepal, but also the third-highest mountain in the entire world. In 1956, a British expedition was the first to reach the summit. There are actually four individual peaks that make up this one giant peak. Yalung Kang, the mountain's westernmost peak, stands at an elevation of 8,420 meters and is considered by some to be a separate 8000-meter summit in its own right. Location of the Kangchenjunga (8586m) range in northwest Nepal. That runs north-south along the border between Nepal and Sikkim. During the early stages of Himalayan exploration, Darjeeling's prominence as a popular hill resort made it one of the more well-known peaks.

The Trekking Day

The day usually begins between 6.30 am and 7.30 am, with breakfast. During breakfast, the crew members make up the loads for the porters. You often start hiking by 7:30 am, though we wait for the sun to warm the air at higher altitudes.

The pace for the day is set at a lower speed. Instead, you will have time to become aware of everything around you and to enjoy it. Our guides are excellent timekeepers but cannot make you rush over the mountains!

The afternoon walk follows a similar pattern to the morning; it is often shorter, and your lodge is usually reached between 4 pm and 5 pm. There is plenty of time to relax or explore the surrounding area until the evening meal is served at about 6.30 pm. After dinner, there is time to chat, read or enjoy a game of cards with our crew. Most members are asleep by 9 pm.

We provide a highly experienced team of IFMGA/UIAGM guides, assistant guides if required, cook and kitchen staff, rope fixing team, and high-altitude workers. Our team is committed to ensuring your safety and satisfaction during your adventure.
