Kangchenjunga a trekker› s guide

This guide covers the trek to the base of Kangchenjunga in far north-eastern
Nepal – the world’s third highest mountain peak. Describing the trails,
villages and views, the text gives three possible approach routes and two link
routes, with two main destinations in spectacular locations.

This book is a guide to that trek. It describes the trails, villages and
views, gives a potted history of some of the mountains, and adds background
interest for anyone planning to visit the area. It’s a sparsely populated
region with a greater sense of isolation than in the more popular areas of
Nepal. The trails are rougher, the facilities more primitive and the routes
less well defined, offering a different kind of experience to that of the more
mainstream routes and with the undisputed scenic grandeur for which Nepal is
famous.
