The remote area of Kangchenjunga in far-eastern Nepal sees very few trekkers and has no teahouses or inns. This area offers the cultural diversity of Rai, Limbu, Chhetri and Brahmin villagers, with the higher regions inhabited by a people of Tibeto-Mongoloid ancestry. This trek also has great natural history interest, with ecological zones from the subtropics to glacial wilderness. We go into spectacular high valleys encircled by high peaks, reaching North Base Camp by the mighty Kangchenjunga Glacier
