Kanchenjunga, one of Nepal's spectacular trekking destinations lies just at the base of the majestic Kanchenjunga Mountain, world's third-highest peak. This region is riddled with alpine pasture lands, thick subtropical forests and low river valleys. It is situated in north-eastern Nepal, and is surrounded by China and India. This area allows you to observe numerous varieties of culture and changing landscapes as you pass through terraced hills, birch woods, rhododendron forests, and so on.
You will come across many diverse settlements of Brahmins , Chhetries , Rai, Limbu etc. that portray the cultural diversity existing in the eastern part of Nepal. You might see musk deers, Himalayan bears, blue sheeps etc. in the wild if we are lucky enough.
