About

Kanchenjunga is the very queen of mountains. The view of it from Darjeeling is the finest in the world. No other can compete with it.

Kanchenjunga is one of the world's most massive and spectacular mountains, and still a virgin peak.

The third highest mountain in the world, it has five peaks, of which the tallest is 28,169 ft (8,586 m). In 1955 a British expedition under Charles Evans climbed the mountain, but in deference to local religious beliefs the party stopped a few yards short of the summit.
