Mount Kanchenjunga lies on the eastern end of Nepal, near the border with Sikkim, a tiny Himalayan state in the north-east of India. Until the mid 1800s Kanchenjunga was thought to be the highest peak in the world but it is actually the third and it is a sacred peak which means mountaineers generally avoid standing on the summit itself.The main peak is 8586 metres, but the massif has four subsidiary summits exceeding 8000 metres, including Kanchenjunga West, also known as Yalung Kang (8,505m). Around the massif and seen on the trek are around twenty peaks more than 7000 metres high,the highest being Kambachen (7,903m) and also including legendary Jannu (7,710m) and Jongsong (7,483m), Kabru (7,353m), Tent Peak (7,365m) and the Twins (7,350m).

Five major glacial systems are found in this huge cluster of peaks and of these Zumu, Talung and Rathong flow into Sikkim while to the west, the Kanchenjunga and Yalung glaciers descned into the Tamor River of Nepal.The trek starts from the subtropical region of Taplejung, through beautiful temperate forests of maple, chestnut and birch trees. Even though farming is less productive in the hilly regions, you can still see terraced fields around these lower regions.Around Chitre you enter the upper temperate climatic vegetation of rhododendron, pine, firs, and orchids. Above here and across the Sele La (pass) towards Ghunsa begins the more subalpine and alpine climatic zone with shallow and dwarf shrubs and open meadows.  Base Camp at 5143m is at the snowline with a rocky and icy landscape.

Snow Leopard, Himalayan Asian black bear and red pandas have been seen in this region although they are obviously shy and difficult to spot. Blood pheasant (below) and the Chestnut-breasted partridge are common bird species.
