16:45 ..we have got the exact same mushrooms in the Alps. Same size, same colours, same attributes. They just grow at lower altitudes compared to the Himalayas :-)
Jonathan, it's been a while since you had this trek but do you recall what kind of a trekking gear you took for this trip? sleeping bag and tent in particular? Did I see Alpkit's Pipe Dream there? was it enough for the weather conditions? Thanks for an answer in advance.
Yeah, I have a Feathered Friends -15ºC (+5ºF) sleeping bag and at the time used a Big Agnes tent. I go through the tents pretty quickly as they tend to rip and break down, but the sleeping bag, especially Feathered Friends (which is the best) last a long time. For most treks, a quality 3-season tent is enough. If you're to camp near or above 5000m, then you'll need a 4-season tent. I did a trek around Dhaulagiri (never made a video) and got hit with a massive, brutal storm, but my 4-season, Canadian-made Integral Designs tent amazingly withstood it, when I thought I was going to get blown off the mountain.
Hi Jonathan. What do you take along for lenses? I do a lot of hiking, and for something like this I'd typically just take the one lens to try and save weight, a wide-angle to mild telephoto zoom. Maybe a wide-angle prime.
It's an evolving process, and each trek is different. I hire porters or horses to carry my gear on most treks, freeing my personal pack to carry mostly just camera gear, but still, weight is an issue. I like to take a couple of primes, one wider for landscapes, stars and environmental stuff, and another for portraits. I love the convenience of a zoom lens (I think I had a 24-70 on this trek), but still prefer to take primes.
Thanks for the sub! Here's a video where I talk about my gear, although now I've moved into Sony mirrorless system: ruclips.net/video/iAVw3SuPIjU/видео.html
I have been in this region Nov. 2016 and I 'm not sure it is the best trek but yes it is one of the hardest trek in Nepal. I rewind all the steep paths and high Passes of incrediable days . Your Pics are great ; specially the air snaps are increadible and never seen so beautiful b4.. Binodd
Hey Jonathan you really should do a art exhibition with all those pics that you took ,mark my world its gonna be epic and everyone is gonna be spellbounded.

Hey Jonathan. Trying really hard to decide between this trek or Manaslu/Tsum Valley. I was leaning towards the latter trek for both the views and the cultural experience of Tsum valley that so many people rave about (not least because it's likely to disappear soon with the road coming in from China) but the sheer remoteness and scenic beauty of the Kanchenjunga trek certainly does have its attractions. It also appeals from the perspective that I've been reading of late that the Manaslu circuit is starting to have crowding issues at the lodges because of the increasing influx of trekkers turning the trek into the new Annapurna. Any thoughts, other than the fact I'm aware that the Kanchenjunga trek can cost appreciably more?
I did Manaslu about 7 years ago before there were any other tourists and only a few teahouses, but I didn't get up to Tsum Valley. It's a minor trek compared to Kanchenjunga, easier and logistically simpler. There's a reason treks become popular, and Manaslu has great appeal without being exceedingly physically challenging or risky as far as weather. I wasn't aware of the plans for the road through Tsum Valley. There's also a road going into Langtang Valley. I don't begrudge the people living in these remote areas access to the outside world, but as a trekker, there's greater appeal in visiting them while they're still relatively intact culturally. In my opinion, the road into Mustang has totally destroyed the trek. The Kanchenjunga trek was one of the top two treks I've ever done in Nepal (Upper Dolpo being the other), and if the added cost isn't an issue, it's what I would recommend. But if you think you'd do Tsum Valley anyhow, best to get in there before they build the road.
Hi again Jonathan, and thanks for the prompt response. I know what you mean regarding outside access for locals. From our perspective as travelers it would be wonderful if everything could remain culturally pristine, but of course who are we to deny the right to improved standards of living, education, life expectancy for children, etc that all these roads bring to the people locked away in those hidden valleys? It's a double-edged sword though as you're aware, both for those people and Nepal in general, because if the cultural allure disappears then the tourist dollars dry up as visitors look elsewhere, which is why they're so desperate around the Annapurna circuit to find alternative paths that steer trekkers away from the new roads. The Tsum Valley segment for the Manaslu trek I'm considering is certainly appealing from the perspective that so much there will disappear once the road gets completed - a number of recent comments from people who've been there run along the lines of 'get in quick of you want to catch it all before it disappears'. Of course Kanchenjunga is no slouch either culturally and looks very unspoiled judging from videos such as your own. Upper Dolpo certainly appeals as well but I just don't think I have the financial juice to be able to afford $1,000+in permit fees for a 20 day trek in the area.
Yeah, Upper Dolpo permit fee is $700 per person, but if you go alone, you have to pay it twice to meet the 2-person minimum, borrowing another foreigner's passport for the process. The trekking agency I use is very honest and they would never consider it, but there was only one permit check, and it was in Lower Dolpo, and they'd never know you went to Upper Dolpo. Just saying . . . Those permit fees DO NOT trickle down to the regions you visit. They stay in KTM and line the pockets of the bureaucrats. Manaslu and Kanchenjunga each have fees, but I think they're less than $100pp. In all though, because of the complicated logistics, Kanchenjunga was about the same total cost as Upper Dolpo. If it's a cultural experience you want, and also want to save money, you might consider a trek in the Helambu region. It's a teahouse trek, not too crowded, leaves from near KTM so you avoid long rides or dangerous flights, and passes through many different ethnic zones. It's also possible to connect it with the Langtang Valley, which is a popular trekking route with spectacular mountain views.
Hi again. Cost-wise I'm fine with either Kanchenjunga or Manaslu/Tsum. The agency I'm working with quoted some good prices for each. Off the top of my head I can't recall the costing they gave me for Kanchenjunga but they quoted me $2150 solo or $1950 with a trekking partner for a custom 30 day trek I outlined that combined Manaslu/Tsum with the Annapurna/Tilicho lake circuit from Dharapani onwards, and the price also includes the flight from Jomsom to Pokhara. Good price, and the firm has a ton of great reviews online. Given the cost for the Upper Dolpo permit I'd figure a 25 day trek through the area would cost considerably more, probably 3.5k as a minimum I would think. If I was just going to Nepal for the trek I could afford that, but I'm also spending 2 months in India and finishing up with two weeks in Egypt before flying home to the USA in mid December. Oh and as an aside I forgot to compliment you on the clips - I've enjoyed them all immensely. It's really refreshing to not only view something that's been shot and edited well but also allows the whole thing to speak for itself, rather than bombard it with commentary or making it be one endless selfie egofest with some footage of the scenery thrown in. The background music also works in beautifully - why some people want to bombard viewers with their tastes in contemporary music on things like this is beyond me. I think the most incongruous one I've come across was some video or other of the Manaslu trek that had country music twanging away for a soundtrack! :) You're also right about how some of the areas mentioned reminded you of the Altiplano. I spent a couple of months in the Peru/Bolivia area many years ago and much of the region does have that same kind of barren makeup. Happy travels.
Exelente video Jonathan , Muchas gracias por darnos la oportunidad de conocer esos lugares magicos y encantados me parese una aventura marabillosa y de nuevo le digo muchas gracias , Que Dios lo bendiga a UD y su familia ,Saludos desde El Salvador, Hasta pronto.
Hello Jonathan sir . Haven't you captured anything of Kanyam and Ilam. If yes than please upload the viewers are wanting to see the beautiful tea garden of Ilam.
Thank you. I didn't really stop in those places, just passed through. There is a little bit of that video at the end of this one. Be sure to check out the photos www.jonathanstewartphotos.com/Trekking/Himalayas/Kanchenjunga-Nepal/i-cncXSdT
Thanks for visiting eastern nepal, people mostly go to western nepal because the mountains on east are much more extreme and taller. You did a great job 👍
Thanks KimLien. Please check out my other videos too! I have several others from Nepal, Mongolia and elsewhere, including one I just finished last month.
Hey, did you book your trip via a local agency in Kathmandu that does nothing more than arraning a guide/porter and the permit. I can't find a suitable one and would be glad to get advise :)
It's not required for this trek as far as I know, but because of the length, the absence of teahouses in several villages, and the difficulty of navigating over the high passes, particularly in bad weather, it would not be wise to go alone on this trek. You could do almost anything in the Annapurna or Khumbu regions without a guide or porters, and Langtang too, but outside of that, it's worth the money to go with local assistance.
Thanks Paul. I'm using Sony cameras. On that trek I used the a99, but now I'm using mirrorless. I'm thinking about getting a little DJI Osmo for smooth video on my next trek.
Thank you Jonathan for presenting such a beautiful video of approach to kanchanjunga base camp from nepal side. I m from sikkim and part of kanchanjunga lies in sikkim. It is most revered mountain by sikkimese. Every year there is festival in sikkim called pang lhabsol which is dedicated to this mountain. since the beginning sikkimese believe that kanchanjunga is our guardian diety. Hence it is such immense pleasure getting to see nepal side of the mountain right from plain to the top. 🙏☺👍👌
Thank you! Kanchenjunga is in my opinion one of the most, if not the most, impressive mountains in the world. For me, it is better than Everest or any other 8000m peak. I can see why it is so revered.
Beautiful video Jonathan. Thank you for sharing that. About the mushrooms you hit with your pole- come to Slovakia in Europe and you will find them as well :)
+Jay Gurung I've been searching for a durable and lightweight drone with HD output, rechargeable in the field, but haven't found anything suitable yet. No plans for Annapurna again (I've been there already 3 times), but if I can find one in the next few months, I might take it with me to Sherpani La later this year.
+ashmusinc psyc Yeah, I re-did it because on my first one, RUclips silenced my audio, then they told me I should repost it, but in 3 parts to get more views. But that didn't work, so I just re-edited it a little bit and posted it as one longer video with different audio and some extra stuff at the end. I'm heading back to Nepal in September, so I'll have some good fresh stuff for later this year.
I am surprised that no mention of Mt Sagarmatha is made although it can be seen distinctly towards the end of the blog.......But thank you for your brilliant contribution......
B cuzzz... Kanchanjunga ekdamai remote xa ra accomodation ko lagi lots of income and physical strength and adventurous heart chainxa which are rare... Whereas annapurna/everest there are more facilities ... for eg:Annapurna base camp ma more than 2 ota hotel xa...
Hi Jonathon stewart I love you so much. your kahchenjhanga visits in nepal. i saw your you tub broadcaster I love it there is my father pitcher black in whity headcap third one. you reached my birth place and take pitcher my father thank you so much
Wow! That's really cool. Give me your email and I'll send you the picture! Just tell me exactly at what point in the video (minutes and seconds) is the image so I can be sure to send you the right one.
Wow! What a vdo. Specially when I saw the Majestic Kanchenjunga at the backdrop standing very tall above everything else at around 3443 mts from its base till the top of the summit. ( elevation from sea level is 8586 mts) . Truly mesmerizing. Only wanted to ask How MASSIVE the Kanchenjunga main 8586 looks from the North base camp?? Thanks 👍

I was looking for your name as Jonathan Steward as used to be your old youtube channel name.. couldn't find it ... i used to wach it a long long ago
Yeah, thank you. I changed the channel name now. I'm trying to be more anonymous. Stay posted. More content from Nepal coming soon.
Hello Jonathan, very nice work. Would you have suggestions about good times of the year to go?
May or October are the best times.
Great sir u did a good job wel come himachal india near himalayan region for exploration
Our Himachal is one of the best place in World🌏
India is a shithole. 😂😂😂

Did u shoot the whole video in may 2013? And uploaded it on march 2 2016? If so why did u wait almost 3 years to upload it?
I originally posted it in 2013 but RUclips demonitzed it, so I did a new edit and tried again.
Awesomely documented..seems like you have thoroughly enjoyed the trek.Now it's on my bucket list.
The video is amazing its just wow i feel jealous haha will soon vist kanchenjunga base camp

Thanks KimLien. Please check out my other videos too! I have several others from Nepal, Mongolia and elsewhere, including one I just finished last month.
Hey, did you book your trip via a local agency in Kathmandu that does nothing more than arraning a guide/porter and the permit. I can't find a suitable one and would be glad to get advise :)
Yeah, I thought I'd linked to them in the video, but guess I forgot on this one. See adventurethirdpole.com and tell them I sent you.
Thank you for the quick answer. I haven't yet seen the full video, so I might not have recognized it yet. :)
I read a few minutes ago, that it might be possible to do this trek independently without a porter or guide. Do you by chance know if that's true?
It's not required for this trek as far as I know, but because of the length, the absence of teahouses in several villages, and the difficulty of navigating over the high passes, particularly in bad weather, it would not be wise to go alone on this trek. You could do almost anything in the Annapurna or Khumbu regions without a guide or porters, and Langtang too, but outside of that, it's worth the money to go with local assistance.

Amazing video! Do you actually need crampons at any point of the trek?
Not on this trek. I did on my last one to Tashi Lapsa, and I also did a video on that one.
Sounds good, thanks for the answer! Definitely looking for that one in near future.
Thank u for visiting nepal love u and ur people in peru
Amazing! Wonderful. COVID permitting, this trek will be a 70th birthday present to me - from me! 👍👍👍
Have fun!
Blown away by your video.
What did you use to record this?
Thanks Paul. I'm using Sony cameras. On that trek I used the a99, but now I'm using mirrorless. I'm thinking about getting a little DJI Osmo for smooth video on my next trek.

Beautiful video Jonathan. Thank you for sharing that. About the mushrooms you hit with your pole- come to Slovakia in Europe and you will find them as well :)
Thanks, my friend. I had no idea those mushrooms were all over Europe and Asia. I'd only ever seen them before in the Andes! Nature is awesome.

Hi Thanks for video. Did you have a guide or porters at all?
Yes, as seen in the video.
what camera equiment do you use ? btw nice photography skills
Hey Mr.Jonathan, can do drone video if you trek the annapurna trail in future,please.I think drone footage gonna be epic.thanks.
+Jay Gurung I've been searching for a durable and lightweight drone with HD output, rechargeable in the field, but haven't found anything suitable yet. No plans for Annapurna again (I've been there already 3 times), but if I can find one in the next few months, I might take it with me to Sherpani La later this year.
sangay sherpa I shoot in manual mode and change setting depending on conditions and the look I'm going for.
I love my country nepal
I thought you already had some Kanchanjunga vids up?
+ashmusinc psyc Yeah, I re-did it because on my first one, RUclips silenced my audio, then they told me I should repost it, but in 3 parts to get more views. But that didn't work, so I just re-edited it a little bit and posted it as one longer video with different audio and some extra stuff at the end. I'm heading back to Nepal in September, so I'll have some good fresh stuff for later this year.
Oh really? Where are you going this time?
ashmusinc psyc Planning on Sherpani Col, which is from Tumlingtar to Lukla via Makalu Basecamp.
It is mustang lukla
Those innocent little kids😽😻😻😻😻
Nice place samtime I hiden in this natures so thankful who made
That tea call Jhetang. Its pretty good!!
I wish I go for hike up there!!! 😥
I am surprised that no mention of Mt Sagarmatha is made although it can be seen distinctly towards the end of the blog.......But thank you for your brilliant contribution......
I couldn't see Everest from any point in the trek, but I just included that shot at the end as a bonus.
Hi,which month were you on Kancha trekk?Thanks and good luck in future exploring😄
October.
Music very nice 👌❤
I love Nepal
Very nice video... Why people less like to go Kanchenjunga trek then Everest ,Annapurna trek ??
Mero questions pani same yehi ho?
B cuzzz... Kanchanjunga ekdamai remote xa ra accomodation ko lagi lots of income and physical strength and adventurous heart chainxa which are rare... Whereas annapurna/everest there are more facilities ... for eg:Annapurna base camp ma more than 2 ota hotel xa...
how long or how may days does it take to go and come overall ?
About 3 weeks for most people.
Beautiful Nepal birth place of Lord Buddha
Amazing video
How many days did you take to cmplete this trek??
This was about 13 days, but I do most treks in 1/2 to 2/3 the normal time.
Jonathan i didnt get what u mean to tell by 1/2 to 2/3?
If a trek takes most people 20 days, I usually do it in 10-13 days.

Wow! That's really cool. Give me your email and I'll send you the picture! Just tell me exactly at what point in the video (minutes and seconds) is the image so I can be sure to send you the right one.
Wow! What a vdo. Specially when I saw the Majestic Kanchenjunga at the backdrop standing very tall above everything else at around 3443 mts from its base till the top of the summit. ( elevation from sea level is 8586 mts) . Truly mesmerizing. Only wanted to ask How MASSIVE the Kanchenjunga main 8586 looks from the North base camp?? Thanks 👍
Thanks a ton
