Kanchenjunga Region

In eastern Nepal, the Kanchenjunga Region is a distant and rarely visited trekking location. It is named after Mount Kanchenjunga, the world's third-tallest mountain. Trekking in this area provides a pure and off-the-beaten-path experience, allowing you to discover untouched landscapes, rich flora and animals, and one-of-a-kind cultural contacts. Here are some facts about the Kanchenjunga Region:

It is recognized for its biodiversity, which includes rhododendron woods, alpine meadows, and waterfalls.
