Kanchenjunga Trek in Nepal (Kangchenjunga)

Kangchenjunga Trek in Nepal's north-east Himalaya area with a selection of landscape, trekking and culture scenes, and some timelapses as well. While each and every corner of Nepal is highly recommended for trekking, those looking for less trodden paths between high mountains should be heading for the Kangchenjunga area in the far north-east. See more description below, here just the timeline: 00:00 Intro 00:10 From Taplejung through the middle hills 02:50 Olungchung Khola village 04:24 Walk to Yangma 06:23 Yangma village 08:49 Walk to pass camp, and camp life 10:58 Up to pass 5'570m 11:42 Up to pass Ghari La resp.

Moving up to Yangma (6:24), the scenery becomes more alpine, valleys open up and reveal high mountains rising above moraines and glaciers. Ancient trade routes are still being used today by yak caravans crossing the snow-bound passes above 5'000 m. We head further north to explore two passes to Tibet (11:15) which are rarely (if ever) visited by tourists and then head back down south over the Nango La (14:02) to Ghunsa, Kambachen (15:43) and Lhhonak (16:08) on the more established route to Kangchenjunga's north base camp near Pangpema (17:35). After climbing Drohmo Ri West (6'080m, 18:20), we head back to Taplejung. For our route, see map at the end of the movie Pictures & movies: (c) Carsten Nebel
