Kanchenjunga Trek - 25 Days |
|
| |
|
|
| |
| Kanchenjunga region is situated in the north-eastern part of Nepal, near the Nepal-India border, on the other side of which lies Sikkim. This region is quite remote and relatively very less frequented by international trekkers. Yet, it is not in any sense, inferior to other trekking regions. In fact, it is home to hundreds of species of wildlife, thousands of plant species and five spectacular Himalayan peaks, namely, Wedge Peak, Pyramid Peak, Janu Himal, White Wave, the Twins and Mt. Kanchenjunga itself. |
