Lush rhododendron forests, dramatic mountain views, traditional communities steeped in local folk law and traditions combine with the third highest mountain in the world. Located in the far east of Nepal and the border with Sikkim, the Kanchenjunga Conservation Area was one of the first areas to be explored yet remains one of the least visited. In fact outside of November you would be hard pressed to see any other hikers on the trails.Treks in this region are a little longer, a little harder and ultimately worthwhile as you explore one of the wider corners of the Himalaya.
