Kanchenjunga Trekking
Kangchenjunga is the third highest
mountain in the world with an
elevation of 8,586 m (28,169 ft) and
located along the eastern India-Nepal
border in the Himalayas. Three of the
five peaks – main, central, and south
– are on the border of North Sikkim
inIndia and Taplejung District of Nepal,
while the other two are completely
in Taplejung District. The Kangchenjunga
Himal includes twelve more
peaks over 7,000 m (23,000 ft).Until
1852, Kangchenjunga was assumed to
be the highest mountain in the world,
but calculations made by the Great
Trigonometric Survey of India in 1849
came to the conclusion that Mount
Everest (known as Peak XV at the
time) was the highest and Kangchenjunga
the third-highest. Kangchenjunga
was first climbed on May 25,
1955 by Joe Brown and George Band,
who were part of a British expedition.
The British expedition honoured the
beliefs of the Sikkimese, who hold the
summit sacred, by stopping a few feet
short of the actual summit. Most successful
summit parties since then have
followed this tradition. The trek itself
passes through scenic farmland and
alpine forests. The area is inhabited by
Tibetan settlers. One canget breathtaking
views of Makalu, Everest and
Kanchenjunga en-route.
