Description

Join me in this 50-day expedition to Kanchenjunga Mountain, one of the highest peaks in the world, in a remote area of the Himalayas.

In the border of Nepal and the state of Sikkim in India, lies Kanchenjunga Mountain. At 8586 m, it is the third highest mountain in the world, behind Mount Everest and K2.

It is also the most easterly of the 8000-meter peaks in the Himalayas, at 46 miles from the Indian city of Darjeeling. This town is actually famous for its wonderful views of Kanchenjunga, which is considered a sacred mountain.

Kanchenjunga Mountain has five important peaks rising from its ice ridges, as well as other satellite minor peaks. Because of that, it receives the name of ‘Five Treasures of the Great Snow’.

The first ascent to this mountain was in 1955. Nevertheless, it is not among the most explored by climbers, due to its remote location and difficult access.

For this trip, our starting point will be Kathmandu. Then we’ll fly to Bhadrapur, in southeastern Nepal. After that, we will continue our way up for eleven days, until we reach Kanchenjunga Base Camp.

The climbing period will take place from days 15 to 43.

For further information regarding the itinerary, you can look at the complete program below.

Also, you can join me on expeditions to Manaslu Peak and Annapurna in the Himalayas.

Thank you explore-share for a wonderful via feratta experience. We have been wanting to learn for a long time but don't have the facilities in Scotland. The guide Mitja was extremely helpful and knowledgeable, answering all my many questions and providing advice. On the day head to take another group but he quickly arranged another guide Borut, who was brilliant. We had a fantastic morning learning via ferrata at Hvadnik in the gorge. It gave us the confidence to later hire our own equipment and go out in Mojstrana. Altogether a five star + experience. Thank you.
