The semi-technical nature of Boktoh also known as Bokta to the locals is a deceivingly complex peak that calls for skills in route finding. The Boktoh trekking route is shared with the approach to the wild Mt. Kanchenjunga. Continuing on the caravan trail past Bokta peak would bring you to Kanchenjunga’s South base camp. The Kanchenjunga region is quite special, it is more remote so it has fewer trekkers that pass through. Bokta climbing offers fantastic views of the Himalayas, from the summit you can see: Mt. Kanchenjunga (8586m/28,169ft), Kumbhakarna (7710m/25,595ft) Dhormo Peak (6850m/22,473ft).

Your journey starts with a flight to Bhadrapur followed by drive to Phidim. The trekking takes you through several wild and remote villages such as: Khamdembe, Yamphudin, Tarading, Ramche and Octang. After you’re successful and enjoyable trip you will return to Taplejung and take a flight to Kathmandu or drive to Bhadrapur and then take a flight to Kathmandu.
