About
Östlicher Bezirk von Nepal in Provinz Nr. 1, bekannt als Tor zum Kanchenjunga Base Camp und Heimat verschiedener ethnischer Gemeinschaften.
Taplejung is an eastern district of Nepal, located in Province No. 1. It is the gateway to Kanchenjunga Base Camp, and for many visitors the district is the starting point of a trek into the high Himalaya.
What the district offers
- A route to Kanchenjunga Base Camp. Trekkers pass through Taplejung on the way toward the base camp of Kanchenjunga, one of the world's highest mountains.
- Diverse ethnic communities. The district is home to a range of ethnic groups, so local life, language and customs vary from village to village.
- Mountain landscapes. The surroundings are those of the eastern Nepali hills and high country, shaped by steep terrain and the views that open up as you climb.
Planning a visit
Taplejung suits travellers who come for the trekking routes and for the chance to meet communities that are central to the district's character. Visitors interested in the mountains will find the district a natural base for setting out, while those who want to slow down can spend time getting to know the people and the places along the way. Plan ahead for the journey into the district, as the terrain is demanding and conditions in the mountains can change quickly.
