Kanchenjunga (8586m)
Description
Only 25 meters (82 feet) shorter than K2, Kanchenjunga is the third highest mountain in the world. The name Kanchenjunga is derived from four words of Tibetan origin, usually rendered Kang-chen-dzo-nga or Yang-chhen-dzö-nga and interpreted as the “Five Treasuries of the Great Snow.”
Only conquered after 50 years after the first attempt in 1955 by the British expedition team, climbing Kanchenjunga is not an easy task without professional support.
