Kanchenjunga base camp trekking difficulty

The Kanchenjunga Base Camp Trek is considered one of the most challenging treks in Nepal. The difficulty arises from its remote location, high altitudes, and long duration, typically spanning 20 to 25 days. Trekkers face steep ascents and descents, rugged trails, and multiple high passes, often reaching altitudes above 5,000 meters. The trek also requires a high level of physical fitness, mental endurance, and prior trekking experience, especially in high-altitude conditions. Due to the remote and less developed nature of the region, logistical challenges such as basic accommodation and limited access to emergency services add to the difficulty.
