Straddling Sikkim and Nepal, Kangchenjunga is a 25km long ridge above 8,000m and it looks like a slice of the planet has broken off to pierce the stratosphere. The mountain dominates the northern horizon, most famously from Darjeeling, and the best access is from Sikkim. However, it is from the western side in Nepal that the approach to the mountain offers the most adventurous wilderness treks. The narrow, sparsely populated [...]]]></description>
