Nar phu valley trek with Kamal guide, perfect!

My partner and I went on a 9-day trek in the Nar and Phu Valley. Our Kamal guide was just perfect! Professional and very nice, he accompanied us along with the porter Prim throughout the itinerary, adapting it to our needs and desires. I don't think we could have fallen into better hands than Kamal, he promptly solved all the little problems we encountered, he was fantastic as was the porter Prim. Amazing experience thank you!

Nepal Social Treks Review

I’ve just completed the 15 day Everest Base Camp trek with Nepal Social Treks and can’t praise the company, guide & porter highly enough. My guide in particular, Lhakpa was an absolute star who could not do enough to make the time away as comfortable as possible. Considerate, knowledgeable, funny, kind & inspiring. I genuinely don’t think I could have completed the trek without their support! A lifetime ambition completed thanks :)

EBC by Gokyo

If you are planning to do the EBC, the Agency should be Nepal Social Trek and the Guide should be Santa Thabir Magar. Permanent communication during trekking and excellent coordination at all times. The alternative I recommend is Gokyo. Something heavier than the classic, but definitely extraordinary. Also the views of the great mountains during the circuit, are not to forget them

Ho prenotato il viaggio dall'italia. C'è stato qualche problema non dovuto all'agenzia perchè non sono partiti voli per giorni per l'everest e loro prontamente hanno sistemato tutto. Narayan, la mia guida e amrit il mio porter sono stati fantastici. Grazie grazie grazie

FAQs about Kanchenjunga Circuit Short Trek

Expand all

Could you provide some information about the lodging options available on the Kanchenjunga Circuit Short Trek?

We prioritize your comfort and safety when it comes to your accommodation, even in remote areas where we will arrange for you to stay in tea houses and guest lodges. You can expect warm local hospitality and access to basic amenities. In major cities, we will provide 3 to 4-star hotel accommodations.

What is the optimal time to embark on the Kanchenjunga Circuit Short Trek?

When embarking on a trek like this one, it is recommended to plan for Spring or Autumn as the best travel seasons. During these times, the skies are clearer, providing breathtaking views of the stunning peaks around you. The Kabru, Rathong, Nyukla Lachung, and Jannu Himal surrounding you are particularly noteworthy sights that should not be missed. Additionally, there is a lower chance of rainfall, making it safer to trek for longer periods without having to worry about slippery trails.

Should I purchase travel insurance for this trek?

You should obtain insurance in your home country before embarking on this trek. Please note that Nepal Social Treks will solely provide insurance coverage for our team members. It is recommended that you ensure your insurance policy which includes coverage for high altitude trekking.

Is there a possibility of having additional porters?

Our trek package includes porters at a ratio of one porter per two trekkers. If you prefer to have a dedicated porter to assist with carrying your bags and allow you to fully enjoy the trek and scenery, we can accommodate that request. Generally, each porter can carry up to 20kg, which includes their own backpack

Trekking Gear List

If you're planning to embark on the Kanchenjunga Circuit Trek, be aware that it's a challenging trek that involves navigating uneven trails, steep inclines, and dense forests. At elevations exceeding 5000m, there's a high risk of altitude sickness, and the weather can be unpredictable. To ensure you're adequately prepared, it's recommended that you pack the following essential trekking gear:

- Trekking shirts that are breathable, available in both half and full sleeves.

- Trekking trousers that are water and wind-resistant.

- Comfortable trekking shorts for walking in hot weather.

- At least one thermal layer for colder conditions.

- Breathable underwear.

- A waterproof jacket for unexpected rains.

- A light fleece jacket for warmer areas.

- A high-quality down jacket in case of extreme weather conditions.

- Comfortable, worn-in hiking boots.

- Sandals for leisurely walking.

- High-quality hiking socks and thermal socks.

- A sun protection hat.

- A beanie or headband.

- Inner and outer gloves.

- A good quality sleeping bag.

- A camera and portable chargers.

- UV protection sunglasses.

- Trekking poles.

- Trekking towels.

- A water bottle and water purification tablets.

- Any prescription medications.

- A headlamp and spare batteries.

- Hand sanitizers, sunscreen, and lip balm.
