Kanchenjunga National Park

The Kanchenjunga National Park, named after the third-highest mountain peak in the world, is located north of Sikkim in the heart of the majestic Himalayas. It is a rare high-altitude national park and the first "Mixed-Heritage" site in the nation, and it was recently added to UNESCO's list of world heritage sites. At an elevation of 8586 meters, Khangchendzonga National Park - also spelled that way - is located partially in Sikkim and partially in Nepal. This location is a trekking paradise with diversified scenery and spectacular views because of its unique biodiversity.

The park is home to most endemic and rare species of flora and fauna including the Snow Leopard and Himalayan Tahr. With a varying elevation of 1,829 m to over 8,550 m, the Kanchenjunga National Park adjoins Qomolangma National Nature Preserve in Tibet and Kanchenjunga Conservation Area in Nepal. There are numerous glaciers inside the national park with the Zemu glacier being the most significant one with an extravagant length of twenty-six kilometers.
