Kanchenjunga is the third highest mountain in the world (after Mount Everest and K2) with an altitude of 8,586 metres (28,169 feet). Kangchenjunga is the second highest peak in Nepal. Kangchenjunga translated means The Five Treasures of Snows as it contains five peaks, four  of them over 8,450 metres. The treasures represent the five repositories of god, which are gold, silver, gems, grain, and holy books. Join the expedition team of Backpacker for the ultimate expedition to this prosperous mountain.

Kangchenjunga is also called Sewalungma in local Limbu language and considered sacred in Kirant religion. Three of these five peaks (main, central, and south) are on the border of North Sikkim district of Sikkim, and Taplejung District of Nepal, while the other two are completely in Taplejung District. Nepal is home to the Kangchenjunga Conservation Area Project run by the World Wildlife Fund, in association with the Nepal Mountaineering Association and government of Nepal, the sanctuary is also home to the Red Panda and other snow animals, birds and plants. Until 1852, Kangchenjunga was assumed to be the highest mountain in the world, but calculations made by the British Great Trigonometric Survey in 1849 came to the conclusion that Mount Everest was the highest and Kangchenjunga the third-highest. Kangchenjunga was first climbed on May 25, 1955 by George Band and Joe Brown of a British expedition. The British expedition honoured the beliefs of the Sikkimese, who hold the summit sacred, by stopping a few feet short of the actual summit. Most successful summit parties since then have followed this tradition. On a clear day, it presents an image not as much of a mountain but of a white wall hanging from the sky. Because of its remote location in Nepal and difficult access from India, the Kangchenjunga region is not much explored by the trekkers. It has, therefore, retained much of its pristine beauty.

Backpacker is the most popular trekking and expedition organizing Travel Company of Nepal it has conducted more than 100 expeditions and trekking in this region annually. Come join the team of Backpacker and be the part of bravery tales of mountaineers.
