“Kang-Chen-Zod-Nga”, means “five great treasuries of the snow”, but in truth, it has seven major summits. To the locals, Kanchenjunga, which stands at a height of 8,585 m and the third most elevated mountain in the world, is the dwelling place divine beings who present flourishing and altruism on them and their territories, while to the climbers of this mountain the expression “five extraordinary treasuries of the snow” goes up against a somewhat more dismal tone. The torrential slides at Kanchenjunga are said to be the biggest anyplace!
Since the locals worship the mountain, there is a custom among mountain climbers not to remain on the genuine summit. Every effective climb has stopped just short of the summit regarding an old promise made by the leader of the first successful attempt in 1955 to the Maharaja of Sikkim.
Kanchenjunga lies on the eastern border of Nepal providing a great chance to experience remoteness, spectacular mountain scenery, diverse flora and fauna and rich local culture, quite different to those found further west.
We start the journey to Kanchenjunga with a flight from Kathmandu to Biratnagar and from that point to Taplejung (Suketar). From Suketar the trek prompts Chauki through the towns of Mitlung, Ghunsa, Khambachen and Lhonak to Pangpema which is likewise the base camp for campaigns endeavoring the North Face of Kanchenjunga II and the finish of the initial segment of the trek.
