Fly from Kathmandu to Bhadrapur, an hour east in the Terai plains at about 100 m. The flight crosses the foothills and, on clear mornings, shows Kanchenjunga on the horizon. Transfer to a hotel in Bhadrapur or Birtamod, where you can check your restricted-area permit papers, repack for the drive and buy any last supplies. Flights to Bhadrapur are often delayed by cloud, so keep the afternoon free and do not plan anything tight. Dinner is simple, and an early night helps before tomorrow's long drive north.

परिचय
Kathmandu बाट सुरुपासहरू: Sele La, Mirgin La, Sinelapche La२१ दिन · अधिकतम ५,१४० मि
उत्तम मौसम: Mar–May, Oct–Nov · अनुमतिपत्र: Kanchenjunga restricted area permit (Department of Immigration, via a registered agency), Kanchenjunga Conservation Area entry permit, TIMS card where required
The Kanchenjunga Circuit is a 21-day trek around the Nepal side of the world's third-highest mountain, 8,586 m, in Taplejung District. It flies from Kathmandu to Bhadrapur, drives to Taplejung and Sekathum, follows the Ghunsa Khola up to Pangpema, the north base camp at about 5,140 m, then crosses the Sele La, Mirgin La and Sinelapche La to Tseram and Ramche on the Yalung glacier, and descends to Yamphudin for the drive out. It is a restricted-area trek that needs a Restricted Area Permit through a registered agency, the Kanchenjunga Conservation Area permit and a licensed guide. The route covers about 143 km on foot with 8,200 m of climbing, and it suits fit, experienced trekkers with previous high-altitude walking. Lodges are simple, and many agencies camp at the highest stops. October to November and April to May are the best months, and you should keep spare days for weather.
What the trek is like
The trail leaves the road at Sekathum, a warm, terraced valley at about 1,850 m, and climbs through bamboo, rhododendron and fir forest on a clearly marked path. At Ghunsa (3,440 m) you reach a Sherpa and Tibetan-speaking village with a monastery, and the scenery becomes open yak pasture. Above Kambachen the valley widens into moraine and glacier views of Jannu, Kangbachen and the north face of Kanchenjunga, ending at Pangpema. After a rest at Ghunsa you cross the three passes in one long day and drop to Tseram, then walk up to Ramche for the view of the Yalung glacier and the south face. The final days descend through terraced Limbu villages to the road.
Highlights
- Pangpema, the north base camp, with the north face of Kanchenjunga above the Kangchenjunga glacier
- Ghunsa, the highest year-round village, and Kambachen below Jannu
- Three passes at 4,640, 4,650 and 4,709 m between Selele and Tseram, according to OpenStreetMap
- Ramche and the Oktang viewpoint above the Yalung glacier
- Rhododendron forest in spring, cardamom terraces and Limbu farm villages in the lower valleys
Permits and rules
You need a Restricted Area Permit from the Department of Immigration, issued through a registered trekking agency, a Kanchenjunga Conservation Area entry permit and, where asked, a TIMS card. A licensed guide must accompany you throughout. Reports of a March 2026 notice say individual foreigners may apply, but the permit still needs an agency and a guide. Fees have changed more than once, so ask the agency for the current amounts and check them with the Department of Immigration and the conservation area office. Carry several copies of your passport and permits for the check posts.
Best season
October and November have the clearest weather, and April and May bring rhododendron and long days. The passes may be snowbound in March and from late November. The monsoon has leeches, landslides and cloud, and winter is very cold. Keep two spare days in case a pass is closed or the road is blocked.
Altitude
The plan sleeps at 3,440 m in Ghunsa, 4,090 m in Kambachen, 4,770 m in Lhonak and 4,210 m in Selele, with rest days at Ghunsa and a day trip to Pangpema from Lhonak. The south side repeats the climb to Ramche at 4,480 m. Ascend slowly, drink water, and be honest about headaches and nausea. Never ascend with symptoms, and descend if they worsen. Discuss altitude medicine with a doctor before you go.
Getting there and away
Fly Kathmandu to Bhadrapur, then drive to Taplejung (9 to 10 hours) and on to Sekathum by jeep (4 to 5 hours). At the end, a jeep from Yamphudin to Taplejung takes 6 to 7 hours in dry weather, followed by the drive to Bhadrapur and the flight back. Flights are often delayed by cloud, so avoid tight onward connections.
Lodges, food and costs
Lodges at Sekathum, Amjilosa, Gyabla, Ghunsa and Kambachen serve dal bhat, noodles, eggs and tea in simple rooms. Higher up, Lhonak, Selele, Tseram and Ramche have small seasonal lodges or camps, so many groups carry tents and a cook. Prices rise with altitude because everything is carried in. Bring cash for the whole trek, because there are no machines beyond Taplejung.
Packing list
Broken-in boots, waterproof jacket and trousers, a down jacket, a sleeping bag rated to about minus 15 C, warm gloves and hat, sunglasses, gaiters, microspikes for early or late snow, trekking poles, a headlamp, water purification and a first-aid kit.
Who this trek suits and how to prepare
The circuit suits fit trekkers with previous multi-day experience and comfort at 4,000 to 5,000 m. Prepare with long hill walks with a loaded pack, stair training and, if possible, a warm-up trek at altitude. The long pass day needs good stamina.
The plan at a glance
Days 1 to 3 fly and drive to Sekathum. Days 4 to 6 walk to Amjilosa, Gyabla and Ghunsa, with a rest day on day 7. Days 8 to 10 go to Kambachen, Lhonak and Pangpema and back. Days 11 to 13 return to Ghunsa, climb to Selele and cross the passes to Tseram. Days 14 to 16 visit Ramche and return to Tseram. Days 17 to 19 descend to Tortongdin, Yamphudin and Taplejung, and days 20 and 21 drive to Bhadrapur and fly to Kathmandu.
Extensions
Add a day or two at Ghunsa for weather, take the Oktang walk above Ramche, or visit the Pathibhara temple above Taplejung on the road out. For the north base camp alone, return from Pangpema to Sekathum in the same days as the way up, which cuts about five days.
Practical tips from the trail
- Walking times in the day plan are estimates from distance and climb, checked against operator itineraries; real times differ with pace, load and weather.
- Start early on the pass day and carry lunch, because there are no stops between Selele and Tseram.
- Check snow conditions at Selele before you commit to the passes.
- Keep a warm layer and a rain shell in your day bag all the way.
- Book the return jeep from Yamphudin in advance.
- Carry cash and small notes, as villages have no machines.
Responsible trekking
Take rubbish out, avoid single-use plastic and ask before photographing people and monasteries. Walk clockwise around mani walls, buy from local lodges and do not feed wildlife.

दिनदिनको विवरण
तपाईं अघिल्लो रातभन्दा १,६७० मि माथि सुत्नुहुन्छ, जुन सामान्य ५०० मिटरको मार्गदर्शनभन्दा बढी हो। बिस्तारै हिँड्नुहोस्, प्रशस्त पानी पिउनुहोस् र टाउको दुखाइ वा वाकवाकी भए ध्यान दिनुहोस्।
Drive north from Bhadrapur through tea country and the hills of Ilam or Phidim to Taplejung, also called Phungling, the district headquarters at about 1,800 m. The road is 9 to 10 hours of winding hill driving, often through cloud and on rough stretches, so travel with water and snacks. You cross several ridges, pass cardamom fields and Limbu villages, and finally climb to Taplejung, a busy bazaar. Check in with the conservation area office if your guide asks, buy cash and spend the night in a lodge.
A short, rough jeep drive of 4 to 5 hours takes you from Taplejung down toward the Tamor valley and up to Sekathum, the roadhead for the north trail at about 1,850 m. It is a warm, terraced hamlet with simple lodges, and the first checkpost for your permits. Meet your porters, sort the loads and walk a short way along the river if your legs need it. Tomorrow starts the climb into the Kanchenjunga valley, so take it easy tonight and keep your passport and permit copies handy.
तपाईं अघिल्लो रातभन्दा ५९० मि माथि सुत्नुहुन्छ, जुन सामान्य ५०० मिटरको मार्गदर्शनभन्दा बढी हो। बिस्तारै हिँड्नुहोस्, प्रशस्त पानी पिउनुहोस् र टाउको दुखाइ वा वाकवाकी भए ध्यान दिनुहोस्।
The first walking day follows the river, crosses it on a suspension bridge and climbs steadily through terraced fields and bamboo forest to Amjilosa at about 2,440 m. The route is about 8 km with 1,100 m of climbing, so allow 4.5 to 6 hours, with a long uphill at the end. The air is humid and warm, with cardamom and millet around the houses, and leeches can appear in wet weather. Lodges in Amjilosa are simple. Keep your daypack light and drink plenty of water.
Climb from Amjilosa through the forest to Gyabla at about 2,710 m, a short day of about 7 km. The path crosses side streams and runs high above the river, with views of waterfalls and bamboo thickets. Gyabla is a Limbu and Sherpa village of stone houses with a small monastery. You gain only about 660 m, so there is time to rest and wash clothes before the higher stages. Cardamom is a cash crop here, and you may see it drying by the lodges.
तपाईं अघिल्लो रातभन्दा ७३० मि माथि सुत्नुहुन्छ, जुन सामान्य ५०० मिटरको मार्गदर्शनभन्दा बढी हो। बिस्तारै हिँड्नुहोस्, प्रशस्त पानी पिउनुहोस् र टाउको दुखाइ वा वाकवाकी भए ध्यान दिनुहोस्।
A longer day of about 10 km follows the valley through rhododendron and fir forest to Ghunsa, a Sherpa and Tibetan-speaking village at about 3,440 m. The trail crosses the Ghunsa Khola several times on suspension bridges, with a gain of about 800 m and a final steady climb into open pasture. Ghunsa has a gompa, a school and a village health post. The air is thinner and nights are cold, so put on your warm layers early, and eat well. Tomorrow is a rest day for acclimatisation.
Rest and acclimatise at Ghunsa. Walk slowly to the monastery above the village or take an easy hike up the side valley toward Ghunsa Kharka, returning by the afternoon, then rest, read and drink plenty of water. The aim is to sleep at the same height as the day before, and to let your body adapt. Check your gear, charge power banks if the lodge has solar power, and talk to your guide about the route and weather. Watch for headache, nausea and poor sleep.
तपाईं अघिल्लो रातभन्दा ६५० मि माथि सुत्नुहुन्छ, जुन सामान्य ५०० मिटरको मार्गदर्शनभन्दा बढी हो। बिस्तारै हिँड्नुहोस्, प्रशस्त पानी पिउनुहोस् र टाउको दुखाइ वा वाकवाकी भए ध्यान दिनुहोस्।
Walk up the Ghunsa Khola from Ghunsa to Kambachen at about 4,090 m, about 10 km with a climb of 730 m. The valley opens into big pastures with views of Jannu and Kangbachen, and you cross landslide zones and wooden bridges. Allow 4 to 5 hours, and keep a steady pace in the thinner air. Kambachen is a seasonal settlement of stone lodges and yak herders' huts at the head of the valley. Nights are cold, so use your down jacket early and keep your bottle from freezing.

A shorter day of about 9 km climbs on the moraine to Lhonak at about 4,770 m, with the Jannu viewpoint on the way. The walk takes 4 to 5 hours, with a climb of about 670 m, and the views of the Kangchenjunga glacier and its seracs are spectacular. Lhonak is a small seasonal camp on a lake-edge terrace, with simple lodges and cold nights. Rest well, eat plenty and watch for symptoms of altitude sickness. Tomorrow is the long day to the north base camp.
A long day to Pangpema, the north base camp at about 5,140 m, and back to Lhonak. The out-and-back route is about 15 km with 550 m of climbing, taking 9 to 10 hours in good conditions, and the trail follows the moraine of the Kangchenjunga glacier with views of the north face. The air is thin and cold, so start early, carry food and water and keep a warm layer on. You earn the best view of Kanchenjunga from Nepal. Turn around if the weather turns or symptoms appear.
Descend from Lhonak back down the valley to Ghunsa, a long day of about 20 km, with a climb of only 100 m and a loss of 1,420 m. Allow 5 to 7 hours, and set off early. The thicker air helps your appetite and sleep, and the trail passes Kambachen and the big pastures you climbed earlier. Ghunsa feels warm after Lhonak, and its lodges have hot meals. Your knees will notice the descent, so use poles and take short breaks.
तपाईं अघिल्लो रातभन्दा ७७० मि माथि सुत्नुहुन्छ, जुन सामान्य ५०० मिटरको मार्गदर्शनभन्दा बढी हो। बिस्तारै हिँड्नुहोस्, प्रशस्त पानी पिउनुहोस् र टाउको दुखाइ वा वाकवाकी भए ध्यान दिनुहोस्।
Leave Ghunsa and climb south-west to Selele at about 4,210 m, a short but steep day of about 6 km with a climb of 840 m. The trail climbs through forest and open pasture above the tree line, with views back toward Jannu. Selele is a small seasonal camp, and from here the three passes lie ahead. Rest, hydrate and prepare for tomorrow's long crossing. The forecast matters: if snow is falling or fresh, your guide may delay a day. Check the weather forecast with your guide before bed.
The big pass day. From Selele you cross the Sele La at about 4,640 m, the Mirgin La at about 4,650 m and the Sinelapche La at about 4,709 m, then descend to Tseram at about 3,860 m. The route is about 9 km, with 610 m of climbing and 940 m of descent, but it is slow, rocky and exposed, so allow 6 to 8 hours. Carry lunch, water and warm layers, start early and keep together. Views of Jannu and Kabru on clear days are worth the effort.
तपाईं अघिल्लो रातभन्दा ६२० मि माथि सुत्नुहुन्छ, जुन सामान्य ५०० मिटरको मार्गदर्शनभन्दा बढी हो। बिस्तारै हिँड्नुहोस्, प्रशस्त पानी पिउनुहोस् र टाउको दुखाइ वा वाकवाकी भए ध्यान दिनुहोस्।
Walk up the valley from Tseram to Ramche at about 4,480 m, about 7 km with a climb of 620 m, taking 3 to 4 hours. The trail runs on the moraine through rhododendron, juniper and dwarf bushes with views of Kabru, Rathong and the Yalung glacier. Ramche is a seasonal camp with a few lodges and a small gompa, and it faces the south side of Kanchenjunga. After arriving, rest and drink water. Tomorrow is a short exploration day. Keep a steady pace, because the altitude gain adds up.
A rest and acclimatisation day at Ramche. Walk up the path toward Oktang, on the way to the Kanchenjunga south base camp, for about 3 to 4 hours there and back. The route climbs about 290 m on a clear path to a viewpoint above the Yalung glacier with views of the south face and the Yalung Kang peak. Do not go beyond the signed viewpoints without your guide. Return to Ramche for lunch and rest. The nights are very cold, so keep a warm sleeping system.
Descend from Ramche to Tseram, about 7 km and 600 m down in 2 to 3 hours, retracing the moraine and forest trail. The lower air feels thick and warm, and you can enjoy the views you missed on the way up. Tseram has a few lodges and camping fields in a quiet valley. Use the afternoon to rest, wash and dry gear. Tomorrow is a long descent through forest toward the Limbu villages. Take photographs on the way down, because the morning light shows the Yalung glacier at its best.
Walk from Tseram down the valley to Tortongdin, at about 3,000 m, a descent of about 870 m over 8.6 km. Allow 2 to 3.5 hours for the walk, longer if the path is wet. The trail passes through rhododendron and fir forest, crossing the stream on logs and bridges. Tortongdin has a few simple lodges and a small shrine. Spend the afternoon resting, because tomorrow is a long, steep day to Yamphudin. Pack your rain jacket in the top of the bag, because forest showers are common.
A long descent from Tortongdin to Yamphudin at about 1,700 m, about 13 km with 2,080 m of descent and 770 m of climbing. Allow 5 to 7 hours, and take poles, because the knees take a pounding. The trail crosses forest, ridges and cardamom fields to the first Limbu village on this side, with homestays and shops. It is warm and humid after the high camps, and leeches can appear in wet weather. Yamphudin is a base for the jeep road out.
A jeep from Yamphudin to Taplejung, about 6 to 7 hours in dry weather, passing Khebang and Phumphedanda on a rough road that can be blocked by landslides in the monsoon. Your guide will arrange the vehicle. The drive crosses ridges and the Tamor valley with views of tea gardens and terraces. Taplejung is a good place for a hot shower, a laundry and a last meal of the trek. Use the afternoon to rest and pack. Check the vehicle and the road conditions with your guide the evening before.
A long drive from Taplejung to Bhadrapur or Birtamod, about 9 to 10 hours, descending from the hills into the Terai plains. The road is winding, with stops for lunch and views of tea gardens near Ilam. Travel with water and snacks, and expect the heat to rise sharply as you descend. Check into a hotel near the airport, and plan an early night. If your flight is tomorrow morning, arrive in good time and keep your documents ready. If the road is delayed by landslides, your agency will arrange a hotel for an extra night.
तपाईं अघिल्लो रातभन्दा १,३०० मि माथि सुत्नुहुन्छ, जुन सामान्य ५०० मिटरको मार्गदर्शनभन्दा बढी हो। बिस्तारै हिँड्नुहोस्, प्रशस्त पानी पिउनुहोस् र टाउको दुखाइ वा वाकवाकी भए ध्यान दिनुहोस्।
Fly from Bhadrapur back to Kathmandu, about one hour, and transfer to your hotel. The flight offers a final view of Kanchenjunga and the Himalaya on clear mornings. Back in Kathmandu, you can shower, repack and explore Thamel. Keep a spare day after the trek in case the flight is delayed. Tip your guide and porters according to your agency's guidelines, and celebrate a hard and rewarding journey with a good meal. Keep your passport and permit copies in your hand luggage for the airport checks.
