Trip Highlights

  • Alluring views of Mountain range
  • The diversity of the culture of ethnic group native
  • Heart-stopping aspects of nature
  • Blooming flowers on the trail

The nameless high stop on one arm of a complicated rim system is Peak 5950. The whole system is curbing by the most wonderful mountain landscape on the planet: the north face of Kangchenjunga and consequent satellite crest.

North face of KANCHENJUNGA and taking there and return back demands a 24 days trek. The extended time would consistently be tired out touring both the north and south face of Kangchenjunga, overpassing the 15,000-foot Mirgin La to hookup the two. If you use your imagination to observe a map, this trail is carved as a “V” along “H” shapely on top of it.

Only the uppermost crest of the “H” needs backpedal, so it is mainly round trek. From Taplejung the trail moves toward the northeast, originally following an order of rim crests.

The trekking goes via villages, mixed forest, and cultivated land. In clear-atmosphere, there are aspects of the amazing snow hills to the north.

Required fitness for this Peak 5950

Walking in higher altitudes is a lot of physically exacting than walking within the lower altitudes, however, if we have a tendency to are in wonderful health with average shape, have a positive perspective, self-worth and powerful determination, we are able to accomplish the trek with success.

Exercise and jogging frequently for a few weeks before the trip is a nice plan to boost our strength and stability. Past hiking expertise would be a quality, however, no technical ability is needed for this trip. It’s vital that we have a tendency to sit down with our doctor before we have a tendency to decide and discovered for the mountain peak Base camp trek.

When to go

Throughout the year, Spring and fall are the overwhelming periods of time. During this time the sky will be clear and it will be easy to climb due to favorable weather. If you are lucky enough then you will bless with the blooming flowers on the track.
