You will be received by our team member at TIA. We will transfer you to the 3-star hotel at Thamel in a private vehicle. You can stroll on the road of Thamel in the evening. 

Next day our team will prepare a permit. While you can do the sightseeing tour of this fascinating city along with Hindu Pashupatinath Temple, Boudhanath Stupa, and bustling Durbar Square. 

“Kathmandu is a place with more temples than houses, more gods and goddesses than people, and more festivals than the number of days in a year” - Sir Kirk Patrick, first-ever Britisher to visit Nepal.

From Sekathum our trek begins, walking 5-6 hrs a day on average, gaining an altitude of 500-700m per day. We will walk along the Ghunsa Khola, crossing many bridges, through forests and several waterfalls. 

We might spot the Red Panda on the way to Gyabla from Amjilosa if we are lucky. 

Passing through the wide range of flora and fauna of Phale will lead us to Ghunsa, the gateway to Kanchenjunga North Base Camp. 

Normally trekkers stop at Ghunsa for acclimatization, but we have our acclimation day at Khambachen.

After acclimatization & rest day at Khambachen, we will move towards Lhonak, the last settlement with a few teahouses. 

Leaving Lhonak, we will move toward the North Base Camp of Mt. Kanchenjunga, also known as Pangpema (5143m). We will be spending our night at the base camp.

We will descend from Ghunsa to Sekathum. The walk will be longer, passing along the bank of Ghunsa Khola, crossing Phale, Gyabla, and Amjilosa. 

Leaving the mountain behind and taking its experience, we will catch our jeep and begin our ride to Kanyam, Ilam.
