Kanchenjunga

Kanchenjunga is the third-highest mountain in the world, standing at 8,586 meters (28,169 feet) above sea level. Located in the Himalayas on the border between Nepal and India, it is revered in both cultures and is considered sacred. Kanchenjunga was first summited in 1955 by a British expedition, but its challenging conditions and unique weather patterns make it a formidable climb. The mountain is part of a protected national park, and its rich biodiversity includes various flora and fauna, contributing to its ecological significance as well as its prominence in mountaineering and adventure tourism.
