Looming at an elevation of 8,586 meters on the boundary of Nepal and the Indian state of Sikkim, Kanchenjunga or Kangchenjunga is world’s third highest peak that further embraces four of her sister peaks, the Kangchenjunga West at 8,505 meters, Kangchenjunga Central at 8,482 meters, Kangchenjunga South at 8,494 meters and Kangbachen at 7,903 meters. The horizon simply stands out from the base camp vicinity. Kangchenjunga, was first climbed in the year 1955 by two Britishers, Joe Brown and George Band. But the summit still remains virgin as it is considered as one of the holy peaks, worshipped by the locals of Sikkim. The Kangchenjunga range protects the Kanchenjunga Conservation Area in Nepal, Kanchenjunga Biosphere Reserve, Barsey Rhododendron Sanctuary, Fambong Lho Wildlife Sanctuary, Kyongnosla Alpine Sanctuary, Maenam Wildlife Sanctuary, Shingba Rhododendron Sanctuary, Pangolakha Wildlife Sanctuary located in Sikkim AND Jore Pokhri Wildlife Sanctuary, Singalila National Park, Senchal Wildlife Sanctuary, Mahananda Wildlife Sanctuary, and Neora Valley National Park located in Darjeeling. The Sikkim and Kanchenjunga Trek, which is one of the alpine treks in Sikkim, passes through the vast biosphere of Sikkim that is a home to several species of flora, including medicinal plants, and fauna. Further, the rich culture of Sikkim reflecting from the tribal villages, home to the Lepchas, Nepalis and Bhutias, is worth experiencing once in a lifetime.
