India Sikkim Kanchenjunga Ridge Trekking

Get up close to Kanchenjunga, the world’s third-highest mountain. Begin your epic adventure at Uttarey and ascend Singalila ridge towards Goechala. Enter dense forests of pine and rhododendron trees in rhapsodic bloom, passing prayer flags, yak herders, and local Sherpa villages scattered throughout the valley. A remote route, this trail to Kanchenjunga’s ridge does not see many other trekkers. Join the rarified few who have braved the border straddling Nepal, Sikkim, and West Bengal. Take in the majesty of sacred, high-altitude lakes and sunrises with striking Himalayan views.

Highlights:

  • Visit tea gardens and sacred lakes in an awe-inspiring wilderness landscape- an area few hikers visit
  • Trek Sikkim’s remote wilderness, with unsurpassed views of Kanchenjunga and the iconic Himalayas
  • Hike along the ridge straddling Nepal, Sikkim and West Bengal-with snow-capped peaks in sight

Important Trip Details:
On this trek you will be hiking 5-7 hours a day and up to 8 miles, mostly at elevations above 13,000’ to a maximum of 14,470’. The trails are rugged mountain paths with up to 4,000’ elevation gain and 6,000’ elevation loss. You need to be in excellent physical condition and have similar previous experience of hiking and camping at high altitudes.

Day 1 Delhi is a sprawling metropolis in North India that contains the country's capital, New Delhi. Life is abuzz and hectic here, with traffic going every which way. A huge population shuffles through Delhi's streets, alleys and food and spice-selling bazaars, and it's quite memorable to be a part of it all. Travelers are also well-advised to visit Delhi for its unforgettable energy and exceptionally photo-ready sights and sounds, including India Gate, the Jama Masjid mosque, and the famous imperial residence, the Red Fort.

Nepal, a land of majestic mountains and rich cultural heritage, beckons adventurers and spiritual seekers alike. Nestled in the lap of the Himalayas, Nepal is home to eight of the world’s fourteen highest peaks, including the iconic Mount Everest. Trekking enthusiasts flock to the Annapurna and Everest regions, where trails wind through terraced fields, rhododendron forests, and charming villages, offering awe-inspiring views of snow-capped giants. Beyond trekking, Nepal offers unique experiences such as paragliding over Pokhara’s serene Phewa Lake, wildlife safaris in Chitwan National Park, and white-water rafting in the roaring rivers that cascade down from the Himalayas.

Kathmandu, Nepal’s vibrant capital, is a treasure trove of ancient temples, stupas, and palaces. The city’s historic center, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is a labyrinth of narrow streets filled with markets, shrines, and medieval architecture. Visitors can explore Durbar Square, a complex of royal palaces, courtyards, and intricately carved wooden temples that offer a glimpse into Nepal’s rich history and artistry. Nearby, the Swayambhunath Stupa, known as the Monkey Temple, sits perched on a hill, offering panoramic views of the Kathmandu Valley. Another must-see is Boudhanath Stupa, one of the largest in the world and a spiritual hub for Tibetan Buddhists, where colorful prayer flags flutter in the wind and pilgrims spin prayer wheels in devotion.

Nepal’s cultural diversity is equally captivating. The country is a melting pot of ethnic groups, languages, and traditions, reflected in its festivals, cuisine, and daily life. From the vibrant Holi festival, where locals and tourists alike celebrate with colored powders and water, to the solemn rituals of Dashain, Nepal’s biggest festival, visitors can immerse themselves in the rich cultural tapestry of this Himalayan nation. Culinary delights such as momo (dumplings), dal bhat (lentil soup with rice), and Newari dishes like yomari (sweet dumplings) offer a taste of Nepal’s diverse food culture.

Fun fact: Nepal is the only country in the world that does not have a rectangular flag. The unique shape of the Nepali flag, consisting of two stacked triangles, symbolizes the Himalayas and the two major religions in Nepal—Hinduism and Buddhism. This distinct emblem is a reflection of Nepal's proud heritage and cultural harmony. Whether you’re trekking among the world’s highest peaks, exploring ancient temples, or experiencing the warmth of Nepali hospitality, Nepal offers a journey that is both enriching and unforgettable.
