After Mt. Everest and Mt. K2, Kanchenjunga is the third biggest peak of the world. The Kanchenjunga is situated in the eastern frontier between Nepal and India. It is 8586mt. high. This region was opened for trekking tourism only in 1988. The trekking in this area is relatively strenuous since the region is regarded as the most remote place of Nepal. However the presence of numerous wild animals, birds and flora in abundance make the trekking in this region very interesting and pleasant.

The Kanchenjunga region is very rich from the point of view of its natural beauty. In this vary region, there are three peaks above 8000mt. and as many as eleven peaks above 7000mt. A number of Glaciers originated from Himalaya have no doubt added to the beauties of this region. The Sherpas inhabit the northern part of the Kanchenjunga region whereas the southern lower part is full of the ethnic groups such as Rai, Limbu, Magar, Tamang, Brahman and Chhetri. The settlements of these ethnic groups are not so dense they are rather scattered. Since the religion are different of these ethnic Groups, different are also the traditions, usage and the ways of life.
