Ghunsa is a beautiful Tibetan village and a major stop on the Kanchenjunga trek. The village features traditional architecture, a monastery, and serves as an important acclimatization point for trekkers.
After Phale the routes split: west toward Kanchenjunga Base Camp and north along the Great Himalaya Trail. To give the body time to acclimatise to the altitude, a rest day is typically taken here.
