A trek through the Kanchenjunga region is not for the faint of heart. The trails are steep and often treacherous, and the weather can be unpredictable. But for those who are looking for an adventure, the rewards are well worth the effort. Spectacular views of the Himalayas, deep valleys, rushing rivers, and ancient monasteries await those who make the journey.

The first conquer of Kanchenjunga standing at an elevation of 8586 meters was carried out by British citizens Mr. George Band and Joe Brown on May 25, 1955, and it is located on the eastern border of Nepal and India.

The Kanchenjunga trekking route was first opened to foreign tourists in 1988. Kanchenjunga base camp used to be only accessible if you went camping or on an organized trek. Nowadays, there are places where you can stay called tea houses. These places have food, but it's not as good as the food on the Annapurna base camp or Everest treks.

Kanchenjunga Trek Highlights

1. Beautiful Himalayan panoramas, including Mt. Everest, Makalu, and Kanchenjunga
2. Plants and animals of many species live here.
3. Pass through ancient settlements like Ghunsa, Khambachen, Pangpema, and others.
4. Tibetan, Gurung, Sherpa, Rai, and Limbu are among the different cultures found in the region.
5. Beautiful Farming Land and unique traditional hidden rural culture with living standards.

Factors Affecting Kanchenjunga Base Camp Trek Cost

There are a number of expenses connected with a trip to the Kanchenjunga Base Camp. The following is a list of suggested costs supplied by different luxurious and mid-range firms. This will help you estimate the cost of your trekking adventure.

Cost of Trekking Permits

To visit Kanchenjunga Base Camp, a special permit is required. The region surrounding Kanchenjunga has been designated as a conservation area to help preserve the environmental and cultural assets of the area. To verify trek permits, there are numerous police checkpoints along the Kanchenjunga hiking route.

Kanchenjunga Restricted Area Entry Permit

Getting a permit to go into the Kanchenjunga restricted zone is not easy. You have to fill out a lot of forms and make some promises. You also can't reserve a time for when you want to do it because it doesn't work that way.

The cost of a restricted area entry permit for Kanchenjunga is Rs. 1000, which equals USD 10 per person each week.

Kanchenjunga Conservation Area Entry Permit

The Kanchenjunga conservation area entrance permit costs Rs. 2000 per person, which is equivalent to USD 20 per person.

Other Permits

You no longer need a TIMS (Trekkers' Information Management Systems) Card to hike Kanchenjunga as of today. Those with a restricted area permit do not require a TIMS card in any trekking region of Nepal.
However, if you want to continue your journey south to other destinations like Everest or Annapurna regions, you will also need the TIMS card.

Cost of Trekking Guide and Porter

There are a few restricted circumstances to be aware of, and a professional guide will handle all of them. The daily cost of a guide, including food, accommodation, and insurance for the guide, is around USD 20 to 25 per day per guide depending on experience.
A daily rate for a porter will range from USD 18 to 22, including food, accommodation, and insurance. A porter can carry 20 kg of weight in addition to his own 4-5 kg loads. So if you don't want to use an extra porter, pack your goods under 15 kg.

Cost of Transportation

The trek will begin with a local domestic flight to Bhadrapur, which costs between USD 137 and USD 200 per person.
To get between Bhadrapur and Ilam, you'll need to take a bus from there. You may either go directly from Birtamod to Taplejung via a local bus for around Rs. 725 to Rs. 800 (equivalent to USD 8).

A private jeep from Ilam to Taplejung will set you back between USD 200 and 250. This is a decent price to pay when compared to catching a public bus. It's less effort, as well as quicker and more convenient.

Cost of Food and Accommodations

The typical approximate cost per person is around $5, which includes Dal (Lentils), Bhat (Rice), and Tarkari (Vegetables), a Nepali meal that is popular in the region.
For a cup of tea or coffee, costs typically range from USD 1.5 to USD 2 for a cup of tea and from USD 2 to 4 for a cup of coffee, depending on the location.

It costs between $1.50 and $4 for a liter of bottled water, depending on the source and brand. People spend roughly $30 to $40 per person per day on food and beverages in general.

As the elevation increases, food pricing in higher regions becomes more expensive than it was in lower areas.

You will be sleeping at local tea houses or little guesthouses after you start trekking. You will also have to get used to the scarcity of goods, such as toilet paper, which you are used to. As you climb, the options for the food you select may be restricted.

The average cost of a twin-sharing room in these tea houses is around USD 5 to USD 10 per night. Even if you opt for a solo stay in a twin-sharing room, you will be charged the full amount for two people.

Cost of Trekking Equipment

If you're going on a trek in the Himalayas, be sure to bring the correct gear and things with you. This will help make your journey safer and more enjoyable.
Here are some lists of Trekking gear with the price:

Item Price Range
Down Jacket US $50 to US $80
Warm Fleece Set US $20 to US $40
Hiking Shirt US $15 to US $20
Hiking Shorts US $20 to US $25
Trekking Pants US $30 to US $50
Trekking Socks US $2 to US $6 per pair
Thermal Set US $10 to US $30 per set
Warm Hat US $4 to US $10
Windproof Gloves US $10 to US $20 per pair
Sleeping Bag US $60 to US $90

Trekking Stick US $10 to US $60
Sunglasses US $5 to US $20
Headlight US $15 to US $50
Water Bottle US $5 to US $20

Cost of Travel Insurance

The price of trekking insurance for a journey that is more than 6,000 meters high might range from $150 to $250 per 30 days. However, the cost will differ based on your age, nationality, and the length of your trip.

Trekking to Kanchenjunga Base Camp is a difficult and hazardous undertaking, even for seasoned trekkers. The high altitudes and severe cold might be problematic for people, so anything may happen on the journey. If you require medical care, you may be flown to a hospital in a helicopter.

As a result, you'll need to obtain a comprehensive insurance policy that covers all of your activities while you're in Nepal.

Other Miscellaneous Costs

It should be no surprise that if something needs more work, you will not expect it to be inexpensive. If you go on a trek in Nepal, make sure to consider the following expenses:
The cost of personal luxuries is taxed at a higher rate than the cost of common necessities. That is why the extra costs for them are listed as miscellaneous expenses. For example, buying water, batteries, and charging your electronic devices are all examples of miscellaneous expenditures.
You may also be charged a fee for the bucket of hot water (heated by gas or firewood) required for bathing. Dry fruits, snacks, and other food items that you wish to eat might be more expensive than normal.
After each expedition, your guide and porter will ask for tips. This is usually a sign that the trip went well. For a two-week trek, the average cost is $100 per person. A day costs between $5 and $7 per person.
