Mountain Pass
Kangchenjunga
Kangchenjunga is the third-highest mountain in the world, with an elevation of 8,586 meters (28,169 feet), located in the eastern Himalayas on the border between the Indian state of Sikkim and Nepal. It is part of the Kangchenjunga Himal range, characterized by five prominent peaks collectively known as the "Five Treasures of Snow," symbolizing gold, silver, gems, grain, and sacred texts.
The mountain was once mistaken for the highest peak until measurements in the 19th century confirmed Mount Everest as higher. Kangchenjunga holds deep spiritual significance for the people of Sikkim and Nepal, who consider it sacred, and as a mark of respect, climbers traditionally stop just short of the summit.
The massif is surrounded by several glaciers that support major river systems, and the area is known for rich biodiversity including rare wildlife such as snow leopards and red pandas. It is renowned both for its majestic natural beauty and its cultural importance, being part of the Kangchenjunga National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
