	Kangchenjunga Region:

		On the southern approach from the picturesque town of Ilam, in the tea-growing region of Nepal, the vegetation changes with increasing altitude from lush, sub-tropical rice-paddies and banana palms, through alpine forests of fir and pine, to the arctic tundra of the yak pastures at Ramze nestling beneath the moraines of the Yalung Glacier.
		Regrettably a circuit of Kangchenjunga is not possible as the necessary crossing of the international border with Sikkim is forbidden.

		The Kangchenjunga trek has only been opened to trekkers for the last 10 years and requires special permits, which means the area is relativeley unaffected by the tourism that has changed the Everest region.

		The trek starts in the sparsely populated lowlands of the Hindu people, progressing through Buddhist and Tibetan villages and finally into the unpopulated mountain areas where there are spectacular views of Kangchenjunga and majestic peaks such as Jannu (7710m) and Kambachen.
