The Kanchenjunga South Base Camp offers a glorious panorama from the crest of the moraines. Geographically, Kanchenjunga lies on the border of Nepal and Sikkim (India) and is the watershed of the Tamur Koshi River. The trek begins from Suketar-Taplejung by direct flight from Kathmandu. After landing at Suketar, we walk for about 4hrs to Phurumba and take a rest. Subsequently, we head to Chirwa, Sukethum, Ajilasa, Ghympla and finally reach Ghunsa, where we stay for acclimatisation. Once we are ready, we cross the Selele La (4480m); from there we proceed to Tseram, Ramche (4500m) and finally we reach Oktang, near Yalung, Kanchenjunga South Base Camp. We have time to explore the area before returning to Tseram and then Amji Khola. Passing through Tharturawa and Khande Bhanjyang, we reach Suketar and catch a flight to Kathmandu.
