A sacred quest and treasure-hunting expedition to Mt. Kanchenjunga (8586m/28,170ft), also known as “The Five Treasures of the Great Snows,” which is situated in the Kanchenjunga Himal and is bounded to the west by the Tamur River, to the north by the Lhonak Chu and Jongsang La Pass (6145m), and to the east by the Teesta River in Sikkim, India.

Kanchenjunga I (8586m), Kanchenjunga West (8505m), Kanchenjunga South (8494m), Kanchenjunga Central (8482m), and Kangbachen are the five summits that make up the “Five Treasures” (7902m).

Kanchenjunga 1, Central (8482m), and South (8494m) are two of the five peaks that make up Kanchenjunga Himal; the other two, West (8505m), and Kangbachen (7902m), are located in Nepal.The Kanchenjunga Conservation Area is home to India’s highest peak, Kanchenjunga, which is also close to Nepal’s eastern border. The words “Kanchen” and “Dzonga” are Tibetan terms that refer to the third-highest mountain in the world, Kanchenjunga. The five riches of God mentioned include: salt, gold, turquoise, and valuable stones; holy books; unbreakable weapons or armor; food; and medicine. The indigenous Lhopo people think that when the world is in danger, the buried treasures will be disclosed to the faithful.

The Kanchenjunga Expedition is only for experienced climbers because of its propensity for snowstorms and avalanches and need for knowledge of all facets of high altitude ascents.Your strength and stamina will be put to the test on this difficult climb, which is made all the more difficult by the elevation. With three summits rising to 8000 meters and 11 peaks rising to 7000 meters, you may expect a feast for the eyes of pure whiteness. The south face is the approach to the summit. The final 1500 meters of the journey, which is across rock and ice, are a rather straightforward climb to the top.

Zemu, Kanchenjunga, Yalung, Talung, and the Ramtang glaciers are just a few of the five glaciers that drain from the Kanchenjunga Massif. These glaciers help to create several stunning rivers, including the Sapta Koshi River in Nepal, which flows into the Ganges River, and the Teesta River in India, which travels 315 kilometers through India before reaching the Bay of Bengal in Bangladesh.
