It's very long and technical climbing on few crevasses are exist, the view from camp III is outstanding although there will be direct sun hitting and this will make hot. Some of the solo climbers or alpine-style climbers target the summit from this part but SST always fixes camp IV for more acclimatization. SST assures that you will have a very comfortable climb with our highly experienced climbing guides/Sherpa.

Camp IV (7,570m/24,770ft)

It’s a tough day to climb from camp III to IV because the real climbing beings from this point. You are already at the altitude of 7570m so the oxygen level will be low and some members can feel difficulties.

Kangchenjunga is stunning. You will be mesmerized by the beautiful view of different 8000m peaks. On the same day after taking some pictures, you will walk down to camp III or camp II, which will take about 5 to 6 hours. descending from the summit is also a difficult part of this expedition so safety descent is also an important part of summit day. Seven Summit Treks will have one climbing Sherpa with one member from camp IV to summit day and till back to basecamp. The SST guide will carry an oxygen cylinder for members and himself. For the safe summit of Mt. Kangchenjunga SST will always have a guideline for the best weather forecast, communication, and back support from the basecamp leader.
