Kanchenjunga

Kanchenjunga, once regarded to be the world's highest mountain, is located in Nepal's eastern border region with India. Kangchenjunga and its satellite summits make up a massive mountain massif that includes five of the world's tallest peaks (Kanchenjunga Main, West, Central, South and Khangbachen). Kanchenjunga ranked second among the highest mountains in Nepal and the world's third highest peak.

There are four climbing routes to Kangchenjunga's summit, three in Nepal from the southwest, northwest, and northeast, and one in India from northeastern Sikkim. Only three times has the northeastern route from Sikkim been successfully used to date. Expeditions to Kanchenjunga are prohibited by the Indian government, hence this route has been closed since 2000.
