Kanchenjunga, the Third highest mountain in the Earth at an altitude of 8586 m (28,169 ft), rises in the far eastern part of Nepal bordering with Tibet and Sikkim. Because of its remote location in Nepal and difficult access from India, the Kanchenjunga region is not much explored by trekkers. It has, therefore, retained much of its pristine beauty. It offers different variety of landscapes, cultures and panoramic views of Himalayas including the Everest, Lhotse, Makalu, & Kanchenjunga. Nepali side of the Kanchenjunga area is covered by Kanchenjunga Conservation Area project funded by WWF with the cooperation with Nepal Government.
