Explore an extraordinary adventure with Taktok Brothers as we take you to the untouched realms of Nepal with the Kanchenjunga Circuit Trek. This trek stands out as a truly gratifying journey, guiding you to the base camps of the revered Mt. Kanchenjunga—an awe-inspiring peak considered sacred by locals for its divine presence and association with various deities.
Our trek promises a harmonious blend of adventure, excitement, and an immersive exploration of diverse landscapes and ecosystems. Traverse through bustling cities to terraced farmlands, ascend through lush green forests of Pine, Oaks, and Rhododendron, and venture into the alpine zone with expansive pasturelands that gradually lead to rocky and barren terrains.
Along the way, soak in panoramic views of majestic snow-capped peaks, pristine lakes, enchanting waterfalls, and meandering streams. The Kanchenjunga Conservation Area, teeming with rare and endangered species such as Red Pandas, Musk Deers, Snow Leopards, and Blue Sheep, offers a unique opportunity for wildlife enthusiasts.
The Kanchenjunga Base Camp trek, spanning approximately 220 km, is a demanding expedition, requiring a high level of physical fitness. While the initial trail sections offer ease, the journey intensifies with challenging ascents over ridges and shoulders. Be prepared for strenuous walks and high altitudes by training for cardiovascular fitness and acclimatizing your body.
Our experienced guides ensure a gradual pace, provide nourishing meals, and advise adequate rest, minimizing the risk of high-altitude sickness. This meticulous approach enhances your experience, allowing you to relish the marvelous journey of the Kanchenjunga Base Camp/Circuit Trek.

Prepare for an extraordinary adventure with Taktok Brothers on the Kanchenjunga Circuit Trek. To ensure a seamless journey, focus on physical and mental readiness, packing essentials, and adhering to some key considerations.
Given the unpredictable weather in the region, where trekking and climbing are highly weather-dependent, be prepared for potential delays or cancellations of domestic flights. In such cases, clients are responsible for additional expenses beyond the specified itinerary. While we facilitate accommodation for porters and guides, alternative arrangements, like helicopter flights, are available at an extra charge to counter flight delays.
Keep in mind that we hold no liability for compensation related to missed international flights. To navigate potential flight delays, maintain schedule flexibility before and after the trip departure. As the trek covers remote environments with challenging climatic conditions, occasional adjustments to the itinerary may be necessary due to unpredictable trails.
