It is compulsion take a tent , sleeping bag, light cooking material, dry food because more trekkers or less trekkers in Kanchenjunga tea house it is important. above the Ghunsa village, se le le pass lodge will not open if less trekkers. if more trekkers there is not enough tea house. Even tea house we are doing in the Kanchenjunga trekking , we still have to say semi tea house trekking( half camp, half tea house. That will be flexible some time sleeping in tent, some time tea house according to the condition.

Tips for the Kanchenjunga trekking:
Kanchenjunga south to North base camp( have to pass se le le from cheram to Ghunsa main base village is Amphudhin)
kanchenjunga north to south base camp( have to se le pass from Ghunsa to Cheram,)
You can starting the trekking from Taplejung for the south and north base camp both. South base camp going last village is Amphudhin. There is also way to go Amphudhin from meldung therpu via Ganesh chowk( section to go meldung village by bus from the before Taplejung bus route) if you go from south base camp first north base camp you can do. if you first visit the north base camp to south base camp . at the time of the walking from Ghunsa to se le pass you become tired and most of the people like to back from cheram.

Memorization Event of the Kanchenjunga trekking
Ghunsa to Lhonak(jumped the itineary): we had a trouble when we did jump the itinerary. michale , lee and me follow the itinerary always during our trip Taplejung to Ghunsa. After one day rest in Ghunsa we moved towards the next point Khambachen. we ask the villagers in ghunsa either tea shop opening or no for staying. I ask one lodge owners in Ghunsa who have also Lodge in Khambachen. They told us that there are yak shepard who opened the Shop in Khambachen. After walking 2 hours there is coming grassy land, meet landslide areas. we move up then straightly walking to the Khambachen. we saw some tents there and ask for the launch boiled potatoes and Dhal bhat there. our physical condition was good, the place very nice we are surrounding the white mountain.

"When we couldnot sleep with cold i think and plying many things in my mind. we didn't hungry even without eating, but we fear somewhere imaginary Yeti coming and bite us, or grazing Yak tread us and hit us. we feel feared snow leopard that areas in Kanchenjunga, might be come and make us wound. we ate lots of Dhal Bhat at Khambachen, That was our energy and back power. Other things we can survive from cold, wind or no"

We ask the hour to reach the Lhonak. Yak shepheard said, it is very easy from khambachen to lhonak just 3 hours. Again he told us there are people in the tea houses today, tomoroow cannot be say he will be there or no. Then we try to do Lhonak this day. just one hours before Lhonak there was snow and cloudly. time already passed more than 5 Pm. time was March. we become like a crow who hide in the cloud. Near reaching the Lhonak one Lamp lighting there. we follow this, and walk our way. we couldnot found the tea houses. We try and cry but that lamp we didnot find. AT Last we find one big cave stone, then we try to sleeping in the sleeping bag. we made the pillow for your bag then without eating we are going to sleep there.
But we couldnot sleep, feel very cold. There is snowy and blowing the wind very difficult to sleep. we imagine and wait tomorrow morning . we wish morning coming very soon. we look the watch, but just 10 Pm. we pray to God, escape from this situation. at last effort, very late, with the struggle with the night, we encounter see the light every where. Oh! morning now !!!!!. one of my friend michel said, 'We still survive". This word still coming in my ear. we are going to forget last night suffering soon because beautiful white mountain surrounding us. Just one kilometer before, we see the yesterday missing tea shop, then we happy and regret both. We knock the tea shop and they open the door. we ask the tea, he make this immediately . we feel we got a new energy and life. Other trekkers guide and tea shop man said yesterday they heard the voice and they think their our tourist go outing. we get the great lesson from that even that must be bring a tent and mattress. After this incident if some body ask me about this trip, i advise them take the tent, sleeping bag , dry food.

Kanchenjunga trekking Reviews
Last year 2012 March, we did Kanchenjunga trekking in Nepal. As iam trekking guide in Nepal plus trekking agency owners i heard many times about Kanchenjunga trekking. Like other trekkers I used to read a lonely planet about the route of the kanchenjunga as well as many trekking company itinerary to get the ideas. Most of the trekking agency write from Basantapur about the starting point of the Kanchenjunga trekking. Similarly, many trekking agency in kathmandu menu write a fly kathmandu to Biratnagar. Mike and Ravi are my My clients who are from England. I meet Mike morten previous trekking, we did langtang valley plus helambu trekking together. Ravi was more logic and calculating person than mike in my experience. They take information from a different trekking agency in kathmandu, and finally they booked from Mountain Air Guided adventures in a Guide service. Most of the trekking agency did not operated without package service for kanchenjunga trekking, but Mountain Air Guided Adventures managed them a Guide service. for the restriction permit of the kanchenjunga it is little bit difficult. There is needed a company tax clear, dollar account in the Nepal rastra Bank and complete tax and audit clear. I take the original passport to got the permit of the kanchenjunga. Finally, I success making a trekking document of the Kanchenjunga base camp treks.
a. 3 weeks permit cost 30 dollar for the kanchenjunga trekking per person. One week prices cost $ 10 usd.
b. Kanchenjunga conservation entry fee Rs. 2000 per person.
I knew later Bharadapur fly from kathmandu is better if one start the trekking from Taplejung. I ask the flight company changing the ticket and make for Bhardapur, but they are hesitation and like to more prices. Actually , we had no time changing the ticket. we flew Biratnagar by Buddha Air. With the Everest himalayan ranges views from the window of the plane , we landed to the Biratnagar for the base camp trekking of the Kanchenjunga. Actually, we start from the low land of the Nepal or terai. we become very happy that all kinds of the geography of Nepal we chances to touch and feel. Then, amusing the terai and keeping a sweet dream of the Kanchenjunga , we ride a bus to Birtamod. After 4 hours long bus driving again we hiring a jeep to the Phidim, the headquarters of the panchthar "phidim". One way we amuse the views of the tea state of Nepal called Phikkal and Kanyam. Next morning we reached the Taplejung from phidim , then eating a breakfast. Then , we follow the itinerary of the Kanchenjunga trekking from Taplejung Nepal.

Dear Ms s. Basu

Thanks very much about the trekking management question. As you know , Kanchenjunga trekking operating two ways. camping and tea house trekking. either camping or tea house, sleeping bag is necessary. we are going to organize the tea house trekking so, no included the tent. Tent is necessary Khambachen and lhonak if only not opening the tea house by the people of Ghunsa. It take 2 days to reach Ghunsa Lhonak, where is also lodges operating by the people of Ghunsa. in case if you need, you can hire from Ghunsa for 3-4 days. if we manage tent it need another porter, kitchen stuff so, charge will be more. in my previous experiencing the trekking, we just take sleeping bag there.

Local people of Kanchenjunga trekking

Tea house condition from Ghunsa to Kanchenjunga base camp and Ghunsa to se le le pass

Up from the Ghunsa village there are Three point 1. Khambachen , Lhonak and Kanchenjunga base camp. That places we recommended the tent. There are two reason better have to tent. 1. if low number of trekkers going to the kanchenjunga base camp, local people donot like to go from ghunsa to the khambachen, lhonak and kanchenjunga base camp. Major things is all the seasonal lodges owners are from Ghunsa village. if they go no problem, otherwise they only agree to give kitchen key if they believe you where you can cook your food. in case you have no tent, food to cook , stove you can hire in the ghunsa village. if you management all things from Kathmandu, Naturally cost will be expensive. so, this is tips and ideas we offer for the budget way trekking in kanchenjunga base camp.

Ghunsa to Se le le pass

From Ghunsa or after finished Kanchenjunga base camp if you like to pass se le le there is also same things. there are one seasonal lodges and Dharmashala in se le le, open in case more tourist otherwise you have to tent there and cook food. After passing se le le either you have to phone the people of the Yamphudhin to open the lodges. Generally it took one day they come from Amphudhin to Cheram, Ramche,yoktung, Torang,Annaphedi.

Dear s. basu,

I managed the tour of kanchenjunga best prices than other agency. I hope another business from your friend as well as. As you say , you have already 20 kg pagback, if there is a tent , mattress, need a another porter and have to hire a tent. I think one tent , 2 mattress, 2 sleeping bag will be enough for you. Just tent need 2 or 3 places if no opening the tea house above from Ghunsa. For your reviews the map , i like to clear the things. Basically it take 3 days to go kanchenjunga from the Ghunsa village. all lodges above Ghunsa are seasonal and opening if there are more trekkers to go base camp. otherwise we have to request them and paying the daily wages for 3 days, so that they open and make a food for us and give accommodation there. It will be still cheaper rather hiring extra porter and rent a tent, kitchen equipment.

Last time, we did kanchenjunga base camp trek depend upon sleeping bag. we have to pay little extra for the people Ghunsa in case there are no more tourist going up from there, then they will do that. First option, we can hire local people from the Ghunsa to the Kanchenjunga base camp for 3 days if no more trekkers. first things we have chances to stay in the lodges in Lhonak and Khambachen. at that condition just sleeping bag will be enough and no need to hire tent and extra porter.

i did the same trip, above this ideas. My customers or trekker also happy , i also happy for the eco friendly way. if we are agreement like that ways, your previous prices quotation might be ok. Further i like give one information that you have to make insurance paper for the kanchenjunga trip. we made our field staff and porter insurance from here.

hope to exchange ideas and digging more style for easy trip to kanchenjunga.

Best regards,

Naba Thapa

Dear Naba,
You didn't get me right. Actually we are like to stay in tea houses rather than in tent. I just want to know, if we pay rs 800000 / head then do we have to pay more for stay in tea houses?

My First Experience in Kanchenjunga base camp trekking, se le le pass

Kathmandu to Biratnagar Flight

Destination is very amazing and curious before reach that place. I remember that sentence when i going to Kanchenjunga trekking Nepal. First i was lazy to do that but after walking that place there are new energy and thought coming. we flew from Katmandu to Biratnagar. Oh! flight was very marvelous because of the fantasy views of the Himalaya view from Katmandu to Biratnagar sky. I like to research the Himalaya from the sky so very deeply i try to identified the Himalaya. Some are i recognized while some are not recognized. Person who are same seat going to asking the Himalayan mountain. I was focusing and try to glance Mount. Kanchenjunga from the plane. My effort going up to the far eastern Himalaya to identified the mount. Kanchenjunga from the sky. Even i fly any corner of the Nepal i try to sit suitable site. I used to recommendation my clients to sit right side of the plane when they fly Pokhara and left side to sit when they are going to fly Everest region(lukla) and left side to go Biratnagar and Bhdrapur.

After booking the ticket Biratnagar, i realized to buy a ticket to Bhadrapur. From Bhadrapur to Birtamod chowk just half and hours drive. I ask my flight booking agent to book the ticket for Bhardapur but he reply no possible to cancel this and no ticket for the Bhadrapur left. so, we have no further option then we flew next morning to Biratnagar. we had Buddha Air ticket to fly there. after flying 5 minutes Air hostess going to briefing about the precaution such as Belt, safety window first then going to serve cola , almonds, choklet etc. After forty minutes plane was landed , temperature was hot in Biratnagar. After landing the plane in the Biratnagar Airport we are going to bus station to buy the ticket to the Birtamod. we take a Riksa to go bus station, then buy a ticket in Super express bus. most of the bus wrote the super express to convince the passenger. i felt very hot Biratnagar and thought inside we have to reach Kanchenjunga base camp, how cold will be there !

Bus to Birtamod from Biratnagar then Jeep drive to Panchthar

we feel some bore because frequently stopping the bus even they have a board super express. Tired from the slow bus we reach the Birtamod at 4 o'clock. we didnot found the bus for the taplejung then we decided to hire a jeep to the panchthar. Driver ask where we from and where to heading? we said we are going to Kanchenjuna trekking, iam a guide. Then he himself introduce other people about me and our planning to kanchenjunga trip. After one hours driving we felt heavenly views of the Kynam tea garden then cloudy Hills down to the Maypokharari and Illam Bazzar. Then, countinous to the Ranke after that down from the top hills to the Panchthar. we stayed one night there with very curiosity.

Panchar to Taplejung by bus then trek to meltung-Sinwa:

It was amazing morning bus to Pungling the district headquarters of the Taplejung. we reached there after 4 hours bus riding from Panchthar headquarters. Before this we see the kabali khola which is following the North direction. Bus driver told us it is the one river in the world to follow the north direction. I buy socks, torch light, some biscuit and snacks in Pungling bazzar and we eat some food there then continuously walking to meltung then again move ahead to the sinwa for the staying the night. There was S.L.C. Examatation at that time. we see many local people gathering about the Political issue. Also i introduce some of the local people at Sinwa on the way trekking to the Kanchenjunga trekking. we didnot meet fellow travelers there also.

Sinwa-Chiruwa-Taplethok-Sekathum:

we going slightly up ,meeting local porters, Plantation of Alachaiee. some time crossing the bridge then we reach Chiruwa(1270m) in launch time. we had Nice Thumba and noudle soup there. Also we give to cook the meat which we bough in Sinwa. we following the Tamor River all the way up. On the way there are local people who was rest in the shadow place, we also sit there. he talk about the local main sources income is Alachaiee. After walking 1 and half hours we arrive in Taplethok there was Kanchenjunga permit and Kanchenjunga conservation permit check place. There was not checking person of the permit. i heard it will be double permit cost in Ghunsa if no receive the permit there. Then i wrote some application in front of the eyewitness if in case some problem in Ghunsa. we reached Sukathum(1576m) in the evening time. then stay the local tea house there. some time we talk the lodge owners and stories about the different trekkers.

Sekathum to Gyabla:

we felt some difficulty because road is steeply than before. on the way of the trail there was camp site made my the local people. Before Amjilosa we become hungry and thirsty. we reached top ridge where was two normal houses. Owners of the hotel are not caring as well as professional. we didnot give any kind of the intension and he worked own his way. we felt bothering there and climb up some terrace and request one tea shop to make a nodule Soup, then we wait there before cooking and eat. after eating the food we had new energy and continuous to the Gyabla. In the Thanyani(2405) we tired more because we already walked 2 hours from Amjilosa. There was just one houses but not suitable for the stay then we further walked 1 and half hours to reach the Gyabla(2730m). There was many people in the tea houses , i donot know the owners of the hotel. one of the people say there are already full hotel, then i go next place to look but was not suitable place like before. Again i ask same hotel and success to meet the owners. then we get the room there. Like before we talk about the local life and pilgrimage tour to the different areas. There was staying the local porters who supply the goods to the Ghunsa as well as for the khambachen and lhonak.

Gyabla to Ghunsa:

we meet the porters on the way who were staying the same hotel in Gyabla. Then, we up to the Phale. There we feel like a shopping center, many woolen blankets, tibetan gift are going to selling. As well as there was cheese, butter tea and clothese. I know that market was Tibetan refugees who have only refugee certificate but not Nepalese citizenship. After some minutes wait there, we move to Ghunsa , the big village of that areas. Before reach Ghunsa we meet local people and they recommended the staying place so we move to the hotel recommended by them. At hotel we get the conservation of the kanchenjunga permit form the hotel owners who was also workers of the conservation project of the Kanchenjunga. we stay one day there more for the acclimatization(3595). Ghunsa is the same height as Namche bazzar and Manang.

Ghunsa to Khambachen (4050m)-Lhonak(4780m)

After day rest we trek to the khambachen. Above Ghunsa there is seasonal tea house , people from the Ghunsa. If there is more tourist, tea house owners going up for the business and if less people they give the key of the kitchen. Because of this problem the parts of the Khambachen, lhonak , most of the trekking agency recommendation the extra porter , food and tent. we get the news some body already in Khambachen to open the tea houses , so we continuously trek up to the Khambachen. In launch hours we reached there and amuse the views of the mt. Khumbha karna himal, Kanchenjunga etc. There was already tent in khambachen. we follow the places of the yak headers according to the recommendation form the villagers at Ghunsa. we eat boiled potatoes and salt masala at Khambachen. we meet first time some trekkers, Nepalese guide and had nice conservation. I talked with Mike and thomas staying there or continuous up to the lhonak. They agree further up to the Lhonak then we walked up again. on the way there is going to beginning snowing and cloudy also going to dark slowly.

Second memorization Event in the Kanchenjunga trekking:
After back to Kanchenjunga base camp, we stay one more day in Ghunsa again for preparation for the se le le pass, Mirgin la pass to go Kanchenjunga south base camp called Oktung. We thinking to go se le le pass, we got the news that local person going to opening the tea house in se le le pass. Then we go to up through the forest road, there is up and some zig zag. After finished the steeply up then beginning to see the crane. Then we reached the se le le (4290m)pass we take a launch in the local tea house. we met the another group guide and tourist at the same tea house. In the se le le pass there is also Dharmashla( Traditional Rest house for the local customer). The owners of the tea house in se le le also was a guide. He explain his stories about the different trekking areas. also many guide, porters taking , chating and joking their own way. we sleep after 7 pm, we was very tired. Next morning after the breakfast we are going to the Cheram(3870m) we meet two passes there first was mirgin la (4480m), second pass was sinelapche Bhanjyng(4646m) before cheram. It is long hours down to cheram. There are 4-5 tea houses but not opening. Then we moved towards to Anna phedi(3370m). Other trekkers also meet the Anna phedi. they like to stay inside the room instead of their tent. so, we have not proper space for there. we try to down towards the Torang. we are already tired so, we donot go to Ramche and oktung. Very hardly we reached the cheram but all the tea house was closed. then we remember the lhonak. we have not enough food left there, but we are save from the snow and rain. we got the shelter there but not food because no body was there. There was wood then we are going to burning , then some porridge we eat, some save for tomorrow. I didnot feel cold, thundering like a Lhonak there, things is warm. Just we afraid that some animals or tiger disturb. but we are camp firing. we are just hungry , but our life is save there. we learn from this event, it is better to carry some extra food and tent(lukily we get the downstairs space of the house). we drink more water instead of the food. Next day we have to go Amphuding we are not sure there is local tea shop open or no.

" We get a great delicious food there in our life, we never forget this food and hospitality of the tea house people, as a gift we give him our stick, because difficult parts of the trekking finished from there"

next morning from Tortong(2995m) we wake up and again fill the water, then crossing the River. the way is quite up through the forest.Lasiya Bhanjayang(3310 m) After walking 2 hours we reach the ridge. we see small house in the wide lawns and some children walking. Then , we going to extremely happy. after 10 minutes walking we reached the place then we are ordering the food and drinks. food was more delicious there in our life. hunger is sweet than food, we realize this things in the life. then man in the tea house was also amicable and soluble. After food, we feel very relax , we give the one stick gift for the tea house person. Then with great dance we down to the Amphudin.

After manaslu trekking popular tea house trek in the restriction trekking area Kanchenjunga is another popular trekking areas of the tea houses
