When i trekked this route, I calculated that we climbed -and descended more than 15000 metres during two weeks of walking. Be sure are ready for this kind of effort before you set out; there are no escape routes if you get sick, tired or bored.
if you cannot get a flight to Taplejung.consider driving to phidim, two days walk to the south.The road is complate to this point and there is a bus or truck service from Ilam.From phidim,you can bypass Taplejung and head over some ridges to the Kabeli Khola and Yamphudin.be sure that phidim is included on your trekking permit if you plan to use this option.
