Kanchenjunga Expedition – 52 Days Overview
Mt.Kanchenjunga standing tall with a height of 8,586m (8.568km) is the second tallest mountain in Nepal and the third in the world. The journey of the Kanchenjunga Expedition is something to cherish for life. It falls between Nepal and the Indian city Sikkim. The name comes from four Tibetian words; ‘gangs’ which represents snow, ‘chen’ which represents the great, ‘mzod’ which represents treasure and ‘inga’ which represents five.
All these words joined together to give the name ‘Kanchenjunga’, which means ‘the five treasures of the great snow’. As per myth that there are treasures of gold, stones, salts, medicines, and other valuables hidden within this mountain. The Kanchenjunga mountain range has five main summits; Kangbachen, Kanchenjunga West, Kanchenjunga South, Kanchenjunga Central and Kanchenjunga Main each standing tall at 7,903m, 8,505m, 8494m, 8484m and 8586m respectively.
Four routes are there to climb Mt.Kanchenjunga, out of which three routes are from Nepal and one is from Sikkim. However, there is a ban on the Sikkim route since 2000 by the Indian government. Kanchenjunga Expedition provides a heartwarming experience to its climbers as well as is a great escape from the day-to-day hustle for those who want to have some adventure in their life. However, climbing a mountain needs a lot of patience, courage as well as great and professional guidance.
The route leading to Mt.Kanchenjunga has a wide diversity of vegetation to see but at the same time, they are also filled with diverse climate and topography which makes the expedition hard. Not to forget, the glaciers, thick forest, pass, and the valley that lies on the way to the mountain which is a real challenge themselves. Also, these routes are one of the least explored ones.
