Mt.
Kanchanjunga, the world's third highest
peak offers a spectacular sceneries and
joy of being there. This region offers an
endless variety of culture and changing
countryside as it proceeds from the river
-growing districts through terraced
fields, forests of birch, bamboo and
rhododendron that eventually turn to
stands of fir and hemlock as one climbs
higher intro the mountains. Himalayan
bear, barking deer and the lesser panda
are among the rich animal and bird life
that fill the area. Kanchanjunga, Makalu
and the spectacular Jannu are among the
peaks at the outset of the trek. Passing
through villages of Brahmins and Chhetries,
you enter almost exclusive Rai and Limbu
territory with a scatter of Gurung and
Sherpa settlements. A special trekking
permit is needed and only Camp Trek is
available in this region.
