Spring / Autumn
Spring (March – May)
During Spring you will experience warm temperatures at lower altitudes and moderate temperatures higher up. The chances of clear, unobstructed mountain views are good, and it is also a good time to see Nepal’s flowers blossom.Autumn (September – November)
This is the preferred trekking season in Nepal. You will be almost guaranteed excellent mountain views, but be wary – this is the peak trekking season in Nepal, so be sure to book your flights in advance and be prepared for more crowded trekking routes. During this time, you’ll also be able to see and participate in the biggest festivals in Nepal – Dasain and Tihar.
Mount Kanchanjaŋgha, 8,586 metres above sea level, is the third highest mountain in the world. The Kanchanjangha mountain range contains five peaks four of them over 8,450 metres (Main peak 8,586, West or Yalung Kang 8,505, Central peak 8,482, South Peak 8,494 and Kangbachen 7,903) making it one of the greatest mountains mass in the world. Kanchanjaŋgha translated means "The Five Treasures of Snows", as it contains five peaks, four of them over 8,450 metres. The treasures represent the five repositories of God, which are gold, silver, gems, grain, and holy books. Kanchanjaŋgha is called Sewalungma in the local Limbu language, translates as 'Mountain that we offer Greetings to'. Kanchanjaŋgha or Sewalungma is considered sacred in the Kirant religion.
Three of the five peaks (main, central, and south) are on the border of North Sikkim district of Sikkim, India and Taplejung District of Nepal, while the other two are completely in Taplejung District. Kanchanjaŋgha range is famously seen from Sikkim, Darjeeling and from many parts of Nepal.
Kanchanjaŋgha area is sanctuary for different species of Rhododendron and wild orchids and is home to the Red Panda.
Until 1852, Kanchanjaŋgha was assumed to be the highest mountain in the world, but calculations made by the British Great Trigonometric Survey in 1849 came to the conclusion that Mount Everest (known as Peak XV at the time) was the highest and Kanchanjaŋgha the third-highest.
Kanchanjaŋgha was first climbed on 25 of May 1955 by a British expedition. The British expedition honoured the beliefs of the Sikkimese, who hold the summit sacred, by stopping a few feet short of the actual summit. Most successful summit parties since then have followed this tradition.
