A Photo Gallery of Mount Kangchenjunga ( 8586m )

the world's third highest mountain

and neighbouring Peaks

in the Nepal Himalaya


- British climbers George Band and Joe Brown

reached the 28,160ft summit in 1955.

- Climbers consider Kangchenjunga one of the most difficult ascents

among the world’s 14 highest peaks.

- Only 195 people have climbed Mount Kangchenjunga,

according to the Nepal Mountaineering Association.

- Kangchenjunga has a reputation for being a difficult mountain

and normally takes more than three months to tackle

( climbing Mount Everest

– the world’s highest mountain at 29,035 feet

– normally takes two months ).

- Scaling Kangchenjunga involves a much longer approach hike

and the mountain is prone to bad weather.

- Before the true height of Everest was established in the mid-1800s,

Kangchenjunga, on the Nepal-India border,

was thought to be the world’s highest mountain.
