The recently opened Kanchenjunga region allows avid trekkers to explore a pristine wilderness, showcasing a remarkable contrast of landscapes. The trek begins with lush farmland and wooded valleys and gradually ascends to awe-inspiring mountain scenery, featuring close-up views of Kanchenjunga and distant vistas of the Khumbu mountains.
