The Kanchenjunga Circuit Trek is an adventurous journey in a region that has received little attention lately. This little-known trail leads to both the bases, south and north of the third highest mountain in the world, Mount Kanchenjunga (8586 m). Joe Brown and George Band, with a team of British mountaineers, were the first to make it to the top in 1955. In 1977, an Indian Army squad from Sikkim on the Indian side achieved the second ascent of the northeast ridge.
