On 4th day you will drive to Taplejung (3 hours) and you will start your multi-day trekking from here by following the routes of Mitlung, Sekathum, Ghunsa, Kambachen and finally reach to Pangpema, the north base camp of Kanchenjunga. Then, you will visit Oktang, the south base camp of Kanchenjunga through the 3 high passes.

During the trek your accommodation will be at local tea houses or tents and meals such as Dal Bhat (a portion of rice, lentils, vegetable), and noodles are provided. As it is the Off the Beaten Path route, the accommodations are very basic and no varieties of choice to eat; thus you are also advised to bring some energy chocolates.
