Kanchenjunga Trek 25 days
Kanchenjunga Region View in Nepal is rather different
from the rest of the country. It is in
general more prosperous, fresher, cleaner and greener than the west
of the country.
In the shadow of the world's third-largest mountain
lives a typically Nepali mix of people - Chhetri, Bahun, Gurung,
Newar, Sherpa; there are all ethnicities here, but the indigenous
Rai and Limbu people have distinct ways, clothing, appearance, language,
food and drink. In the higher reaches of the Kanchenjunga region,
like in all high-altitude settlements in Nepal, the prevailing culture
is heavily Tibetan-influenced, and usually Buddhist. A trek around
this enormous mountain is a chance to experience a wide range of
people, flora, and fauna. One of the least visited of all major
mountain areas of Nepal, the Kanchenjunga region offers an interesting
comparison between low- and midland and the highland. The Limbu
and Rai villages below the snow line are fascinating. Men from these
communities have been one of the four ethnic groups recruited into
the British and Indian armies. Many people believe that the exposure
and cosmopolitanism this resulted in, combined with the proximity
of east Nepal to the Indian educational centres of Darjeeling and
Kalimpong, accounts for the progress, development and prosperity
here. Limbus have special ways of weaving, distinctive jewellery,
shamans, and a wonderful drink called tongba - fermented millet
doused in hot water served in a covered metal container and sipped
through an iron straw
