Trip Facts
Overview
Kanchenjunga Trekking is getting popular these days among nature enthusiasts. Trekking route around Kanchenjunga National Park start from Pemayangtse and run through terraced fields of barely and tablelands of apple orchards, then onto the moss-laden lush green forest of pines, firs, giant magnolias, rhododendrons, spruce, and orchids- a naturalists paradise.
You will encounter with the crystal clear streams running through the lap of Himalayas, clouds of butterflies and moths- sparking fluttering and displaying their dazzling color and personality. Intermingled with this are the chirrup, Twitter, and peeping of exotic Himalayan birds. Your patience and pains on climbing on are rewarded with the spectacular views of Sikh Himalayas Kanchenjunga, Pandim, Jopono, and Narsing are some of the peaks appearing in the background to the scene. Looming up in the north is the legendary and mythical- Country God of Sikkim and Five Treasures- the guardian of the whole world, in all its celestial height and glory. On either side of the majestic mountain are other peaks of smaller stature, an almost supernatural vision of ethereal beauty incomparable in the whole world. You will gaze on a sheer slope of mountainside some 6705 meters in depth, a gigantic mass of the earth surface whose foot lies in deep gorges while the summit pierces the skies. Sunrise and sunset view on these mountains are not to be missed. It is a raw adventure at its best where the visitor is taken into the realm of towering mountain peaks directly above and camp is set amidst the view of high mountain glacier
This 12-day trek including one rest day, to Goecha La, takes you up-close for a spectacular view of the mighty Kanchenjunga amidst a majestic panorama of the other Himalayan peaks. This is undisputed the most popular trek route in Sikkim. After the finishing point of your trek, you will move early in the morning and return back to Yuksom by air route or by road. Finally, an unforgettable trek came to an end and all travelogues have enjoyed a wonderful experience.

Reviews
Simply put “WOW”.
Simply put “WOW”. I have never met more responsible people in my life. They made sure every step of the way was taken care of from the drivers, tour guides, trek guides, porters and hotel accommodations. I highly recommend this company for its hard working, responsible and friendly people. The people make a company. Special thanks to: Anuja “the planner”, Chitiz & Ashmir “the ultimate trekking guides” and finally Robin “the enthusiastic jungle bird watcher”.

San Diego, CaliforniaPlan Holidays did a fantastic job on our whole trip!
Plan Holidays did a fantastic job on our whole trip! We did the trip that included time in Kathmandu, Pokhara, Chitwan National Park and a 5-day trek around Annapurna. From the moment we stepped off the plane, we had guides showing us around and everything was perfectly planned for us. Maila, our trekking guide was amazing and had so much knowledge! It was a great trip!

Boston, MassachusettsIncredibly well organized
This company was amazing. Incredibly well organized. I felt safe and spoiled. Our airport transports were always early and waiting for us. All of our reservations for our accommodations and busses were perfect. The temple tour we took was super fun and educational. Some of our luggage got stuck in our layover country and between this travel agency and our hotel they were able to get it for us and deliver it the next day. We also had a 10month old traveling with us and they made sure that our accommodation and travel plans were safe for him. During our 5 days of trekking, we had THE BEST guide/sherpa. I would positively let them plan another trip for us. Thank you!!!!

I had a wonderful experience
I recently booked a tour with Plan Holidays, and I had a wonderful experience. Anuja scheduled the tour, and it was comforting to have our trip covered without any concerns. Our guide Shiva took us through Kathmandu, and showed all us the highlights of the city and provided us with the cultural and historical background. We also did the Poon Hill Trek with guides Chitiz and Ashmir, who provided a peaceful hike through the Himalayas. On our last two days, we spent time in Chitwan National Park, where our guide, Robin, took us on adventures where we saw crocodiles and rhinos.
The entire package was affordable, and our guides met our every need; they went out of their way for us on many occasions. It was comforting to get off the bus and see our guides waiting for us with our name tags. I would highly encourage anyone to book a trip through this company. I promise that you will have an amazing experience–five stars!
