 Nepal
opened the Kanchenjunga area to trekkers in 1988, though
people have trekked in the area in connection with mountaineering
expeditions since the torn of the century. Kanchenjunga
is a long way from Kathmandu and the nearest roads and
airports are a long way from the mountain. Kanchenjunga is on the border of Nepal
and the Indian state of Sikkim, so a circuit of the
mountain is politically impossible. The best alternative
is to visit both the north and south sides of the mountain
from Nepal side.
