Kanchenjunga Trek Ep 2 | Partying After Pangpema | Ghunsa to Kanchenjunga North BC | Nepal

Episode 2 sees the team, after 2 nights in Ghunsa, trekking through Khambachen and Lhonak, to Pangpema, or Kanchenjunga Base Camp North. Mindful of the gain in altitude, we spent a day each acclimatizing in Khambachen (climbing to Jannu viewpoint) and Lonak. We then made the journey back to Ghunsa, in time for Tihar celebrations with the village schoolchildren.

In Episode 1, we flew from Kathmandu to Chandrigadi Airport, Bhadrapur, in far east Nepal. From there, it was two and a half days' drive by jeep through Kanyam, Ilam, Phidim, and Taplejung (Phungling), to Sekathum. We trekked for 4 days through Amjilosa, Gyabla, Phale, to end in Ghunsa, a relative paradise, where we had a day's acclimatization.
In late-Oct 2023, the group met in Kathmandu. Eastern Nepal is an area known for its tea and cardomom plantations. Food and lodging were immediately more basic as we left Taplejung, until we arrived in Ghunsa.

@@ecoodysseys Thank you for letting me know. when would you recommend going to KBC more. During spring or Autumn season?

[@ecoodysseys]

@@user-ih9xp4hr8e Spring will see the days getting warmer but there may still be snow higher up. You also get rhododendrons. You may also get rain though this can happen anytime these days.
