You will begin your Kanchenjunga South Base Camp Trek after breakfast by taking a domestic aircraft from Kathmandu to Bhadrapur. It will take around 45 minutes and provides a birds-eye perspective of the ground below.

After that, you will travel to Illam by local transportation, which you will board in Bhadrapur. Depending on the state of the roads, this trip will take between three and four hours. After checking into your accommodation upon arrival in Illam, you are free to see some of the region's renowned tea estates.

Illam began growing tea in the 1860s and is well-known for its plantations and vistas of the mountains. Presently, it cultivates premium black, green, and white teas.

A bus or jeep will be available for travel on Day 2 of the Kanchenjunga South Base Camp Trek. After breakfast, you will continue your journey from Illam to Taplejung by taking another road vehicle (bus or jeep). You will most likely be traveling in a jeep because the route is uneven and rough.

There's farmed terrain ahead, with the tea plantations behind you.  The Kanchenjunga Massif might come into view as you proceed. Drive through breathtaking scenery and woodlands until you reach Taplejung, where the road becomes steeper and more switchback-like after the little settlement of Phidim. You will enter the Kanchenjunga Conservation Area as soon as you reach Taplejung.

The Kanchenjunga South Base Camp Trekking Trail today will travel through substantial stretches of subtropical rainforest and follow the valley from settlement to tributary crossings and back up. The ethnic Kirantis of this area, now called Limbus, are mostly engaged in conventional agriculture. When you go to Lalikharka, where you will stay in a tea house, you will cross Batase, Deurali, and Deurali Bhanjyang on the way there.

The path for today's Kanchenjunga South Base Camp Trekking will initially climb to a ridge before descending sharply into Simbu. After there, the track climbs steeply up to Kunjari, a village of scattered bamboo and banana trees, before descending a scorching, steep road and crossing a suspension bridge across Phawa Khola.

One must make a long walk upstairs to reach Gurung hamlets with lovely tea houses for lodging, including Kande Bhanjyang, Sinchebu, and Sinchewa Bhanjyang. The remainder of the day is spent in the Kabeli Valley.

On the trek, you will get your first look at the Kangchenjunga landscape. Later, the route enters a forest and leads to Khesewa, a highly prosperous town where millet, maize, and rice are grown

After a satisfying breakfast in Khesewa, you will set out on your adventure to reach Kanchenjunga South Base Camp Trek. As you travel through this fascinating terrain today, you will be able to see the peaks of Simvu, Jannu, and Kanchenjunga. In springtime, the rhododendron woodlands are ablaze with vibrant blooms.

After packing, you will hike through mixed forests on a rather level path as you approach the Kabeli Khola. Your faces light up at a sequence of tiny waterfalls. After heading north, you'll pause for lunch at Yangpang, which offers breathtaking views of Mount Jannu. The latter part of the day will involve a sharp 20-minute ascent up to Pumpe Dada.

The hike today is primarily going to be uphill on a moderate track that primarily runs by the Kabeli Khola. During the hike, you will be in awe of the stunning ridge that lies beyond the creek. After making a few switchbacks up the valley, you will drop on debris from previous landslides behind rocky cliffs.

It's a lovely hike that winds through meadows filled with wildflowers and rhododendron woodlands. Aside from the Himalayan pheasants, keep an eye out for predatory birds like eagles and kites. For the most of the day, the Kanchenjunga massif is visible. You will arrive to Yamphuding after a while of walking through several little settlements and over a short suspension bridge.

For the Torongding majority of hikers choose the straight route to Torongding. On a well-maintained stepped trail amid historic rhododendrons, you will continue your Kanchenjunga South Base Camp Trek toward Lasiya (Lamite) Bhanjyang.

From Lasiya, the route descends to a grassy pass with a view of Mt. Jannu, also known as Kumbakarna, to the northeast, overlooking a sizable landslip. You will next ascend to a height of around 150 meters, drop in a muddy zigzag through a beautiful forest to the Simbuwa Khola, and then continue on an ascent to Torongding.

The path for the Kanchenjunga South Base Camp Trek today will go through a pine and rhododendron woodland with pastureland, where you may witness a herd of yaks grazing; be careful though, since some are playful.

You will reach a Buddhist shrine that is adorned with prayer flags, Trisuls, and rock cairns after crossing Yak Kharka and Anda Phedi. A sacred section of the valley's boundary is marked by this shrine, which also features a tiny cave. The remainder of your journey will take you past a vast flat meadow with a single cottage at 3870 meters/ 12,696ft that serves as a makeshift lodge

After passing through a wonderful forest of pine and rhododendrons with a little stream, the Kanchenjunga South Base Camp Trekking trail climbs and passes a sizable loose culvert before making its way back to the Yak Kharka. From Cheram, you will ascend for a short distance before coming to the start of the Yalung Glacier.

The view is stunning as you climb over the Yalung Glacier's snout and into a string of ablation valleys. A frozen lake and crystal clear streams may be seen on the terminal moraine of the Yalung Glacier, which is surrounded by the peaks of Talung (7,349m/ 24,110ft), Kabru (7,338m/ 24,074ft), and Rathong (6,678m/ 21,909ft). Ramche is home to the last teahouse on the Kanchenjunga South Base Camp Trek. You will get amazing views of Mt. Jannu, Nyukla Lanchung, and other mountains, as well as the South Face of Kanchenjunga from Oktang.

Walking through the terrain will be easier today as you will be returning to a lower elevation. The same route that brought you to Cheram on Day 8 will be followed to bring you back to Cheram. Traveling to Cheram will require you to pass through towns like Lapsang and Yalung Bara. Through Cheram, Anda Phedi, and Pasang Danda, you will arrive in Torongding. Let your feet stroll and your eyes take in the beautiful countryside; it's going to be a lengthy but unwinding day.

You will start your journey from Torongding toward Lasiya Bhanjyang. To reach the grassy Lasiya Bhanjyang, a bypass must be climbed 150 meters above the trail's dangerous slip to the right. The Kanchenjunga South Base Camp Trek Route ascends through silver pines up the slope beyond the Bhatti and provides a distant vista of Kumbhakarna (7711m/ 25,298ft) in the northeastern blue highlands.

As the yaks are sent in a different direction, the route becomes better below. However, the descending stepped track continues forever till Amji Khola. A wooden bench, or Chautara, is located at a crucial junction after an hour-long hike that includes crossing Chitre's open Kharka (2926 meters/ 9599ft). You arrive at Yamphuding, a community mostly populated by Sherpas, at last. That's why it is also known as Sherpagaon.

The last day of your trek to Kanchenjunga South Base Camp is today.  You will spend six to seven hours trekking from Yamphuding to Ranipul and then taking a local vehicle from Ranipul to Phidim. This is part of your itinerary; you will also be driving.

The trail starts somewhat uphill before heading mostly downhill to Ranipul. You will travel to Ranipul for four hours, stopping for lunch along the way. Upon reaching the tranquil forest on your final day of the Kanchenjunga South Base Camp Trek, it would be a great experience. Close to the Tamar River lies a small settlement called Ranipul. You will go through charming towns and undulating terraced hills till you arrive at Phidim from Ranipul.

After breakfast, you will travel from Phidim to Bhadrapur, the airport, in a local jeep that will take you past the foothills and into Nepal's lowland Terai region. From Bhadrapur, you will catch a domestic flight back to Kathmandu. During the journey, aerial views reveal numerous snow-capped peaks and four 8000-meter summits, namely Makalu, Lhotse, Kanchenjunga, and Everest.

Your Kanchenjunga South Base Camp Trek will conclude after a breathtaking 45-minute flight over the mountains and valleys. When you arrive at Kathmandu's airport, a member of our crew will welcome you. You will next be transported to a suitable hotel in Thamel. We will set up a farewell dinner in a traditional Nepalese restaurant with a live stage show after you spend the remainder of the day on your own.
