Kanchenjunga Circuit with Drohmo Ri Trek offers an opportunity to experience trekking above 6000 meters to witness the great views of the surrounding snowy peaks of Kanchenjunga, the third-highest mountain in the world. Many trekkers who are physically fit and love adventuring off-the-beaten-path choose this trek. This trek will take you through the amazing landscapes of eastern Nepal, where mind-blowing mountain vistas, deep valleys, and lush forests create a breathtaking backdrop.
The Drohmo Ri, a less traveled peak, is one of the best viewpoints that presents unparalleled views of the Kanchenjunga massif while allowing trekkers to experience the serene tranquility of the Himalayan wilderness. Drohmo Ri is mostly confused with Drohmo Peak. The height of Drohmo Ri is 6100 meters, and Drohmo Peak is 6881 meters. To submit Drohmo Peak (6881 m), you must have a climbing permit, but Drohmo Ri (6100 m) doesn’t need a climbing permit.
The trek to Drohmo Ri and Kanchenjunga Circuit adds an exhilarating challenge to this expedition, drawing trekkers to navigate challenging terrains and high-altitude trails. With its majestic viewpoints and serene atmosphere, the summit of Drohmo Ri becomes a rewarding highlight of this adventure. Whether you seek the thrill of adventure or the peace of the mountains, the Kanchenjunga and Drohmo Ri trek promises a journey filled with unforgettable experiences and stunning memories.
