Kangchenjunga is located in the easternmost part of Nepal,
which gets triple the amount of annual rainfall compared
to western Nepal—these mountains on the foothills
of the world’s third highest mountain get upwards
of 3,500 mm of rain a year. The effect is most visible in
the vegetation: thick, verdant forests with heavy undergrowth.
Even at the height of the dry season, the jungle trails
are moist and fresh.
The rhododendron in eastern Nepal is some of the most spectacular,
especially the Milke Danda range north of Taplejung which
has been declared a sanctuary for Nepal’s national
flower. The whole trek through the moist forests is also
an orchid enthusiast’s delight. If orchids are actually
parasites, then you could call the Tamur River basin a Parasite
Paradise.

| |
|
| Day 01 : |
After
arriving in Taplejung on the early morning flight start
walking to Lali Kharka past picturesque multi-ethnic
villages. |
| |
|
| Day 02 : |
Keswa.
From the ridge there are good views of Jannu (also known
as Kumbhakarna Himal), the mountain looms at the head
of the valley and has a striking presence |
| |
|
| Day 03 : |
Mamankhe
is a Rai and Limbu village the houses surrounded by
barley, millet and cornfields. The local tea-shops have
great tongba where you can sip the warm drink with a
bamboo straw and chat with English-speaking elderly
ex-servicemen. |
| |
|
| Day 04 : |
Yamptudin
is probably the only Gurung village this far east. Unlike
their Rai or Limbu neighbours, they speak Nepali. |
| |
|
| Day 05 : |
Lamite
Bhanjyang does not offer much of a view because of the
thick forest of tall trees. Beyond here, there are only
herders and shepherds to be seen taking livestock to
high pastures. |
| |
|
| Day 06 : |
Tseram
at 3,770m is the junction from where you branch off
to the Yalung Glacier. |
| |
|
| Day 07 : |
Ramche
at 4,800m is a yak shelter from where it is two-and-half-hours
to the base camp for Kangchenjunga south face. Further
up there is a broad glacier field at Oktang, a great
place to camp if you don’t have altitude symptoms.
|
| |
|
| Day 08 : |
Race
back to Tseram |
| |
|
| Day 09 : |
Rapka
Kharka is a long day from Tseram, crossing two 4,800
m passes. From the exotically named Sinion La is a view
to rival Poon Hill. Kangchenjunga and Jannu dominate
the eastern horizon, to the west is the jagged ridge
of Jaljale Himal which separates the Tamur and Arun
watersheds, and far in the distance are Makalu and Everest.
On a clear day, you see down to the Indian plains to
the south. |
| |
|
| Day 10 : |
Ghunsa,
site of a Tibetan Refugee Camp, is four-and-a-half hours
down to the valley and you can reach in time for lunch. |
| |
|
| Day 11 : |
Rampuk
Kharka. The day starts with a forest trail and slowly
gets into moraine country with narrow trails and rock
falls. |
| |
|
| Day 12 : |
Lhonak
is like reaching Annapurna Sanctuary, but perhaps more
spectacular. The north face of Kangchenjunga is visible
with its three stacked glacier shelves from which seracs
break off from time to time and tumble down in billowing
clouds of ice. There are views of Kirat Chuli, Nepal
Peak, and The Twins at the head of the valley. The valley
itself goes on and on. |
| |
|
| Day 13 : |
Pangpema,
even better views of the north face. Stay for two days
if you have time, attain nirvana and soak in the silence
and tranquillity. |
| |
|
| Day 14 : |
Can
get right back down to Ghunsa in one day. |
| |
|
| Day 15 : |
Amjilasa. |
| |
|
| Day 16 : |
By
Chirwa you are back in the low mid-hills with Bahun,
Chhetri villages. |
| |
|
| Day 17 : |
Climb
up to the ridge to get back to Taplejung for the flight
back. |
