Kanchenjunga North Base Camp Trek is an absolute trekking experience in Nepal. This trek lies in the Kanchenjunga Conservation Area. It is also a restricted zone, where you can visit only with special trekking permits and field staff. This trek was opened in 1988. North Base Camp trekking to Kanchenjunga is recommended for those with an extended vacation who want to try an adventure trek in Nepal. Kanchenjunga's north base camp trek is more symbolic than Nepal's usual Trekking trails and is not luxurious. Compared to the south side, the lodges are better on the north side. Mount Kanchenjunga is the third-highest mountain in the world at 8586m tall.

Trekking to the Kanchenjunga North Base Camp involves a long drive to Taplejung or Basantapur. The Trekking trail goes through Tamor Valley up to Gunsa Valley. Rai, Tamang, and Sherpa are the major inhabitants of the Kanchenjunga North Base Camp. These people are mainly farmers, so you can see lovely farming terraces on the Kanchenjunga North Base Camp trek. The trek ranges from subtropical temperatures to high-mountain snowlines. During the north Kanchenjunga base camp trek, you will enjoy the green hills, attractive landscape, valleys, waterfalls, cardamom farms, rhododendron (Nepali national flower), local foods, and high mountains. Tongba for winter is a popular alcoholic drink from the north Kanchenjunga base camp trek; Tibetan hot beer for summer; and Chyang for summer, Nepali local beer. The fresh fish from the Tamor River is very delicious. Pleasant-looking green hills and wildlife make your Kanchenjunga trekking more wonderful. The best seasons for this trek are February to May, when the rhododendron blooms, and September to November, when the scenery is more striking.
