Nepal opened the Kanchanjunga region to trekkers in 1988, though people have trekked in the area in connection with mountaineering expeditions since the turn of the century. Comparatively, the region is a long way from Kathmandu , and the nearest airport and roads are a long way from mountain. As per the rule of His Majesty’s Government of Nepal, there would be at least two trekkers in a group to trek at a time. On the trip you will be able to study the culture and lifestyle of Rai and Limbu communities.
