After your first night in Kathmandu, you will be doing a half day guided sightseeing tour in Kathmandu at places of interest. Sometime, depending upon your flight arrival if it's late in the night we will do this tour in the afternoon instead of morning to give you a nice rest before you venture out of the Hotel in our interesting tour. The sightseeing places could be Pashupatinath, famous Hindu Temple combined with Bouddhanath, a Buddhist Shine or Kathmandu Durbar Square, famous for its old architecture and place where you can visit living goddess with Swyambhunath, commonly known as Monkey Temple. 

After breakfast drive to Domestic Terminal for the flight to Bhadrapur. The flight is scenic with mountain views to the eastern border town of Nepal. Your trekking crew will be waiting at Bhadrapur airport and join together to travel in a jeep / bus to Ganesh Chowk. Since the flight to Taplejung is not regular and reliable, you will be flying to the closest point and drive from there. The drive is scenic passing through the tea gardens to reach Ganesh Chowk after about 8 hours drive to stay overnight in a basic tea house. 

With the construction of road in remote villages as well, your drive continues to leaving the main trail behind and crossing Hapu Khola to Banketar where you will leave your vehicle and trek finally starts after the lunch. 

The walk passes through local villages and farmland, where still cultivation is the main income source. The area in inhabited by Limbu and Rai. A short walk of 2 hours brings to Khewang for overnight stop in a basic tea house. 

After the breakfast with warm welcome from the locals, your trek continues on trekking trail less frequented by western trekkers with a gradual ascent between the two small passes of Ekchana Bhajyang & Ghatichhina Bhanjyang to join the main trekking trail that comes from Mamamkhe village. Over the few years there has been many construction of roads to the remote villages but they are all dirt roads and locals can’t use them throughout the year. The walk is interesting with beautiful landscape and few settlements in between until you reach your destination for today at Sherpagaon, village named after inhabited by Sherpa Community. 

The trek continues with a long ascent to reach the top of Deurali Danda with an altitude of 3,290m. From the top of the hill, the views are great in far horizon. After taking a break at the col, continue ascending on winding trail passing through rhododendron trees. 

The walk today will become more interesting with the sight of Jannu Himal atop the ridge along with sight of Kanchenjunga, Kumbakarna and Kabru Peaks while walking through thick rhododendron forest. Final leg of today's walk is an easy descend on the gentle sloping path which continues almost to the riverbed of the Simbua Khola. The initial part of the descend from the ridge has landslides in between so need to take good care and walk in the group for the safety. From the bank of Simbua Khola, continue with a short climb for a while along the left bank and then cross over to the right via wooden bridge, takes you to Tortonten, where there are several bivouacs caves with excellent campsites.

The walk today follows the riverbank passing the bivouac caves. The path along the right bank of the Simbua Khola is not very high, so head along the mountain flank somewhat higher. Both walls of this valley are thickly, forested with pine and rhododendron. The walk continues through the thick forest, then to gravel ground and walking past this area leads to a shrine with a huge boulder shaped like serpent. After this forested place our route heads towards the riverbed, then ascending from riverbed path to the terrace on the left takes you to Tseram, where there are roofless bivouac caves. Ahead you can see the terminal moraine of Yalung glacier and behind it are Kabru 7,353m and Talung peak 7,349m.

An early start for a  very long and exciting day to visit the South Base Camp, the walk starts on a steep trail, then turns & remain on a gentle slope till you reach Oktang. The tree line stops at Yalungbar with the magnificent view of mountains. The valley opens up from Lobsang La with more views of Kabru, Rathong and Kokthang. 

The trek passes further south from Ramche to South Base Camp. Our trekking crew will wait with packed lunch at Ramche and some hot drinks to serve. As you go further, clear views of Yalung Glacier and south wall of Kanchenjunga are dominant. The walk for about an hour from Ramche takes you to the corner of the glacier, from where entire south and west face of Kanchenjunga, along with Talung Peak, Kabru and Kambachen Peaks are seen. Retrace back to Tseram for overnight. 

After a long hard day, a rest day will be offered to relax before starting another big day. This rest day can be used as contingency day just in case weather is not great previous day. 

Today, descend via Yalung Bar with fifteen minutes of steep up, crossing the river and then the trail goes gradually through the forest for half hour. From here with a climb on the steep up path for an hour and half towards the two small ponds. From here, we cross three passes, Miring La, Tamo La and Sinion La. The first part of the trail is uphill climb for 1 hour to the top of the pass with the great view of Kabru and Kanchenjunga. From Miring La, the trail goes gently down and then up to Sinion La (4,650 m.). From the top of the pass one can see magnificent views of Makalu, Baruntse, and Chamlang. From Simion La, the trail descends gently to Tamo La (4,500 m.) and from here we get superb view of Khumbhakarna. From here the trail slowly descends downhill to overnight stop at Phedi. 

The first part of the walk is gentle down with a steep descend for an hour through the forest of rhododendron and pines. As the downhill walk levels near the Ghunsa river, the walk is fairly gradual towards the Ghunsa village. Ghunsa a large Bhotia (of Tibetan descended) community of stone houses and tidy small farm. 

Today's walk leads to a fairly strenuous trail that climbs up alongside the river. Several magnificent waterfalls are encountered along the way. Yak herders may be met along the trail depending upon the time of the grazing season. The trail goes from the right bank of the river Ghunsa, through the rhododendron and pine forest, gradually ascending to Rambuk Kharkas crossing a small glacier landslide. 

The trek continues with excellent views of Khumbukarna and Janu and other high snow capped peaks.  Leaving the tree lines behind, the countryside onwards is more barren with scrub juniper. After Rambuk Kharka, climb through a small forest to cross a large landslide area with a spectacular view of Khumbakarna's north face. The trail goes gentle down to Kangbachen after crossing the landslide. The valley is dominated by Sharphu (7,070m.) just in the opposite, is a huge north face of Mt. Jannu and Wedge peak.

The trail follows above the river for about an hour and heading east, route drops down to the river, then climbs through the boulder path which leads to the terminal moraine of the Kanchenjunga glacier. After leaving Ramtang Kharka (a Sheppard place) the trail meets Kanchenjunga glacier here, crossing the junction at Lhonak and the Kanchenjunga glacier before Lhonak. A great view awaits you of Mera, Nepal Peak and Wedge Peak from Lhonak.

The trail climbs up gently above the river with impressive views of Kirat Chuli, Nepal Peak, Taple Sikhar, and Givegela Chuli. The first part of the climbs is gentle and goes through a boulder trail, walking the trail between grassy slopes and glacier path up to the North base Camp. Herds of blue sheep's can be seen around this area. After spending sometime at the Northern Base Camp, now its time to return back to Lhonak for overnight. 

After being on the South & North Base Camp of Kanchenjunga, now its time to retrace the journey back. You will be walking on the same trail with about four hours of walk to Khambachen and from there walk down to Ghunsa Khola to cross on newly built suspension bridge to reach Ghunsa village.  

Start your walk by crossing Ghunsa Khola again and walk alongside of the river passing through rhododendron, pine and birch with occasional “Mani Wall” in between to reach Phale after an hour of walk. From Phale, you will come across the landslide and after the passing through, the walk continues through dense forest to reach Gyabla village after 4 hours walk. From here the landscape changes and you will start getting more comfortable after descending down to lower altitude. The walk of further 2 hours from Gyabla Village along the river takes you to Thangam for overnight stop. 

The walk today starts on a narrow trail with gradual climb followed by descend of nearly an hour takes you to Sherpa village of Amjilassa. From here descend to Arun River, cross the suspension bridge and walk on the other side of the river with views of waterfalls makes the walk interesting. After crossing another suspension bridge on the same river with about half an hour walk brings to you the final suspension bridge of the day. After crossing this bridge and a further 15 minutes walk brings you to Sekathum.
