Bokta is an intimidating peak in the Mt. Kanchenjunga region in Eastern part Nepal. The west side of Bokta is steep and technical, and the eastern side has no straightforward route either. The most promising route is via col to the north of the Himalayas. From a high camp at the col, the route follows the snow slop from under the right shoulder to the summit. While the slope is moderately steep,the route suffers disclosure to rock fall.

This challenging peak can be climbed by professional mountaineers in good conditions. Bokta’s first ascent was by a Slovenian group in 1991.

It is a great accumulation to the wild Kanchenjunga trek. The region is quite different to the other climbing areas mentioned, with many trekkers. The local culture Rai, Limbu and Sherpa make excellent Tongba,a fermented millet drink, and many grow the spice cardamom which has brought wealth to the area.
