Kangchenjunga is the third highest mountain in the world, and lies partly in Nepal and partly in Sikkim, India. It rises with an elevation of 8,586 m (28,169 ft) in a section of the Himalayas called Kangchenjunga Himal that is limited in the west by the Tamur River, in the north by the Lhonak Chu and Jongsang La, and in the east by the Teesta River.
Mount Kangchenjunga lies about 125 km (78 mi) east-south-east of Mount Everest. It is the second highest mountain of the Himalayas. Three of the five peaks – Main, Central and South – are on the border between North Sikkim and Nepal. Two peaks are in Nepal's Taplejung District.
Mt. Kanchenjunga is located on the very remote border between Nepal and Sikkim and attracts relatively few trekkers. Due to its remote location it retains its pristine beauty, mystery and charm. For most mountains above 8,500 meters we advise clients to climb in the spring season. This peak can be attempted in the fall, but becomes very difficult due to its snow conditions. There are two famous climbing routes in Kanchenjunga for the main summit. The Normal climbing route is along the South east side of the mountain from the Yalung glacier.
Kanchenjunga Expedition is not recommended for inexperienced climbers or climbers attempting their first 8,000 meter expedition. The scenery is phenomenal all the way from base camp overlooking the Kanchenjunga glacier. The most difficult section of the climb is the South Col which consists of 500 meters of mixed ice and rock climbing. We will fix ropes in this area for climbing safety.
