Tengkoma Peak is a 6215m tall non-technical climbing peak just before the Kanchenjunga northern base.

This park is named after its massive snow treasure Mount Kanchenjunga with an elevation of 8,586m from sea level. Mount Kanchenjunga is 3rd highest mountain in the world after Mount Everest and Mount K2. Few climbers have summited Tengkoma and compared its difficulty as of Mera peak and Yala peak. It will take 14 days to trek to the Lhonak village and summit the peak. From the summit of Tengkoma you can see great views of Kanchenjunga, Dhormo, Kirat Chuli, Pathibhara, Ramthang Chang, Gimnigela Chuli, Kumbhakarna, Everest, Makalu and parts of Tibet.On this alpine-style peak climbing trip with Mount Adventure Holidays, you will take a flight to Bhadrapur airport and continue on a jeep drive to Taplejung.

Trip to Tengkoma peak climbing with Kanchenjunga Base Camp Trek

07-Nov-2021

The trip to Tengkoma Peak with the Kanchenjunga base camp trek was one of the outstanding trips of my life. the trip began from Kathmandu and end in the capital city of Kathmandu. We flew from Kathmandu to Badarpur and drive along, Ilam, Pachathar, Tapljuneg, and Ranipul. our trip was started from Lelep which place is the headquarter of the Kanchenjunga conservation office. We walk through the lush Kanchenjunga conservation area, some isolated local villages, and the Ghunsa river. we trip through some narrow trials and thick rhododendron forest, orchid, bamboo bushes, silver tree, rare herbs Himalayas medication, wild animals, birds, rare Redpanda seen during the trip. finally, we reach Lhonak, Lhonak is one of the best alpine valleys on this trip. we encountered blue sheep very close to us. we enjoyed the outstanding Himalayas range beyond Lhonak, preparing for Tengkoma peak. Our guide was Nadha Sherpa, who showed a demo of how to walk on the edge of a mountain peak and he has explained the safety concern for Tengkoma Peak Climbing. so the next day, we headed to the Tengkoma peak summit. The weather was super wonderful, we really enjoyed Makalu, Mount Everest, Lhotse, Barunche, Jannu, Nepal peak, Kirat chulli, Pathibara, and Mount Kanchenjunga Himalayas Ranges from the top of the Tengkoma Peak. Our guide was Nadha Sherpa. he was a local from Ghunsa village. he was very humble, knowledgeable, honest, skillful for guiding and climbing. Ghunsa is a cozy village and you can get all amenities, as likewise, Phon call, health post, WIFI, Police post, school, grocery shop, handmade carpet. This village is located, In the eastern part of Nepal. its height is,3475 m, from sea level. So regarding this Tengkoma peak climbing and Kanchenjunga base camp Trek superb and memorial to my lifetime. Thank you very much trip organizer Mount Adventure Holidays team, for sharing great experiences and things for us. we really recommend my friend for this trip.

Tengkoma Peak Climbing with Kanchenjunga Base Camp Trek.

07-Oct-2021

Tengkoma Peak Climbing with Kanchenjunga base camp trek is one of the best-mixed adventure activities as trekking and climbing same time. This was a slightly shorter version of the full circuit, 2 full weeks instead of 3. Pasang Sherpa and his wonderful team gave us outstanding support all the way through the 180 km trek. They were not only very well organised but also able to adjust and find solutions to all the challenges we had to face along the circuit. We had a wonderful time together.... and enjoyed the happiness and the positive spirit of the group all the way through. Great job!
