The Kanchenjunga and Olangchung Gola Trek is tough and we recommend them only to trekkers with previous experience of trekking at high altitudes and long walking about 6 to 8 hours each day.
This is a long and adventurous trek to a remote part of Nepal, a region that sees far fewer trekkers than other areas because of its remoteness. It is a fantastic trip where you’ll see a lot fewer people than on many of the other trekking routes in Nepal. The trail explores the area around Kanchenjunga, the third highest mountain in the world.
The combination of Camping Services and Tea House services in Kanchenjunga Olangchung Gola Trek & Base Camp
We recommend combining 8 days of camping services and 13 days lodge accommodation services arrangement for this trek. Most lodge accommodation stay and food are basic and provide local food rice/Daal (lentil), Thukpa/potato/fried noodle, etc. The lodges above the Ghunsa usually close down at the end of November because of starting of heavy snowfall. This trek’s infrastructure, as far as tea houses, is considered basic and not developed like the Everest region trek and Annapurna region trek. However, the trail here is not anything like the other developed and over-commercialized treks. It is quieter and truly off the beaten path.
Trekking in the Kanchenjunga region is relatively strenuous since the region is regarded as the most remote place in Nepal. The region offers an infinite variety of landscapes, cultures, and panoramic views of the Himalayas. Walking on the lowlands of Nepal passing terraced fields, colorful villages, green forests, this trek enters into a ridgeline of rhododendron and gains altitude as we reach Olangchung Gola(Walungchung Gola). Easily one of the best places in this region – Olangchung Gola is a fantastic alpine valley that is stunning both in scenery and culture.
Kanchenjunga Base Camp Trekking routes
From Olangchung Gola, we hike up the remote northern valley to Tibet. After crossing the Nango La to Ghunsa, we trek up north along the Kanchenjunga glacier to pay a visit to the North base camp at Pang Pema. From there, our trail leads us across the village-laden middle hills of eastern Nepal before it comes to an end in Taplejung. The Kanchenjunga and Olangchung Gola Trek is tough and we recommend them only to trekkers with previous experience of trekking at high altitudes.
