Trekking in Nepal is generally great! However, trekking in the slope of Kanchenjunga, the third-highest mountain, (standing beautifully at the height of 8586m), is interesting and exotic. The foothills of Kanchenjunga have been opened to trekkers since 1988, but only possible to walk here as a part of an organized trek arranged through an agency, normally you need a local guide and at least 2 trekkers to purchase the required permits.
The Kanchenjunga area is mainly inhabited by the Limbu people, who speak a language related to Tibetan and follow a mixture of Buddhist, Hindu and animist beliefs.

Autumn season (September to November)
The autumn season is considered the best season for trekking in the Kanchenjunga region. The sparkling sun and crystal clear sky offer you the mesmerizing views of the mountains. You are much more likely to see the large numbers of trekkers traveling in this season compared to other seasons. The best part of this season is you don’t need to carry a heavy backpack.
Spring season (March to May)
Spring is another prime season for trekking that falls in the months of March, April, and May. The weather in this season is generally good, as temperature and climate tend to be more stable with mesmerizing views and skies are usually clear but there is a chance of a very low amount of rainfall, so you need to be prepared before embarking.
Monsoon season (June to Mid-September)
This Challenging trek pretty much challenges you especially in monsoon season, there is no permanent habitation beyond day five, and so, you should carry your own tent and food. Heavy rainfall and strong wind are to be expected and likely to create your trip more challenging. June to Mid September is considered as rainy months, trekking in rainy days adds more difficulties, there will be a lot of leeches, besides that trail can be slippery and landslide may occur at any time. Before heading makes sure to contact local people about the weather and the circumstances. It is better to prepare yourself prior to getting into poor morale.
Winter season (December to February)
Winter is not considered as a favorable trekking season. As you trek higher the temperature tends to decrease, some of the passes become impossible to pass due to strong wind, snow and slippery ice. We suggest you bring essential tools like snow boots, crampons which are necessarily important for your safe travel on snow and ice. Not to forget, carry warm and proper clothes to cope with the freezing temperature.
