Nepal’s far eastern region, which borders Tibet to the north and Sikkim (India) to the south, is home to some of the most stunning and remote landscapes in the world. At the heart of this awe-inspiring area stands Kanchenjunga, the third highest mountain on Earth, rising to an impressive 8,586 meters (28,169 feet) above sea level. At the core of the region is the Kanchenjunga Glacier, spanning approximately 15km in length and feeding the major rivers of the region, Ghunsa and Tamor.

Kanchenjunga Region offers incredibly unique trekking opportunities with a fraction of the tourism seen in regions further west like Everest & Annapurna.

Situated between the popular Langtang and Everest regions, the Rolwaling Valley is steeped in folklore and rugged beauty. Known locally as "The Grave" due to its steep, sheer cliff walls that shadow the valley floor, it is famously the rumored home of the Yeti. The trail here is arduous and raw, appealing to the true adventurer.

Dominating the skyline is the sacred mountain Gauri Shankar (7,134m), while the high glacial lake of Tsho Rolpa creates a dramatic contrast of turquoise blue against the grey moraine. The crossing of the Tashi Lapcha Pass connects this mystical valley to the Khumbu, offering one of the most technical trekking passes in the Himalayas.

The Everest (Khumbu) region is one of the most iconic areas in the Greater Himalaya, home to three 8,000-metre peaks: Mount Everest (8,848 m), Lhotse (8,516 m), and Cho Oyu (8,188 m). Attracting climbers and trekkers from around the world, the region plays a major role in Nepal’s tourism economy. While popular routes can feel crowded, venturing onto lesser-known trails offers a far more peaceful experience, with some of the most dramatic close-up views of the Himalaya’s highest peaks.

To the east of Khumbu lies Makalu Barun National Park, a pristine sanctuary that is home to Makalu, the fifth highest peak on Earth, standing at an impressive 8,485 meters.
