Kanchenjunga: The 3rd Highest Mountain
The Nepal Himalaya has long been a global center for mountaineering adventures, expeditions, and high-altitude research. Among its majestic peaks, Kanchenjunga stands out with its remarkable five consecutive summits along the Kumbhakarna Himal range. Known as the “Five Treasures of Snow,” these five summits form one of the most glorious mountain chains in the world.
Kanchenjunga is located in the southernmost part of the major Himalayan peaks in Nepal, while Nala Kankar marks the northernmost peak. Unlike many other mountains, Kanchenjunga’s impressive presence can be easily seen from the lower foothills, revealing its full majestic charm to onlookers.
The Kanchenjunga Himal region offers an infinite variety of landscapes, rich cultural diversity, and breathtaking panoramic views.
