Mt. Kanchanjunga, the world's third highest peak offers a spectacular sceneries and joy of being there. This region offers an endless variety of culture and changing countryside as it proceeds from the river -growing districts through terraced fields, forests of birch, bamboo and rhododendron that eventually turn to stands of fir and hemlock as one climbs higher intro the mountains. Himalayan bear, barking deer and the lesser panda are among the rich animal and bird life that fill the area. Kanchanjunga, Makalu and the spectacular Jannu are among the peaks at the outset of the trek. Passing through villages of Brahmins and Chhetries, you enter almost exclusive Rai and Limbu territory with a scatter of Gurung and Sherpa settlements. A special trekking permit is needed and only Camp Trek is available in this region.
