Kangchenjunga is the official spelling embraced by Douglas Freshfield, A. M. Kellas, and the Royal Geographical Society that gives the greatest indication of the Tibetan pronunciation.
Until 1852, Kangchenjunga was supposed to be the highest mountain on earth, but computations based on measurements and several readings done under Great Trigonometrial Survey in 1849 came to the decision that Mount Everest, called Peak XV in time, was the hightest. It was later announced that Kangchenjunga is the 3rd highest mountain.
Joe Brown and George Band climbed Kangchenjunga for the first time ever on 25 May 1955. They were part of a british expedition. Joe stopped short of the peak in accordance with the assurance given to the Chogyal the peak would remain inviolate. Everyone who have climbed the mountain has followed this tradition.

The Kanchenjunga summit may be viewed from many points in Darjeeling Tiger Hills is among the greatest areas from where you are able to see the summits. To reach Tiger Hills you create a brief journey of 12 kilometers and can hire a cab.

By Air
Many carriers run direct flights from Kolkata, Guwahati and Delhi to Darjeeling. Kolkata and Delhi airports are well connected with international cities throughout the world. Few international cities like Paro and Bangkok have direct flights. Once you reach in the airport, a taxi can be hired by you or share a cab to get to Darjeeling, that will take you.

By Bus
The normal bus service (that’s about 70 kilometres away) is not very fast but efficient. Bus services that are similar will also be accessible from neighbouring towns like Kalimpong and Kurseong which is 50 kilometres away respectively and 31. Even daily buses runs to Darjeeling; yet, we propose taking a taxi that is common instead.

By Train
The closest railway station is at New Jalpaiguri (62 kilometres in the principal town) which links important Indian cities like Mumbai, Delhi, Guwahati, Chennai, Kolkata, Bangalore, Bhubaneshwar and Cochin.

Kangchenjunga Trek
Trekking in kangchenjungaKangchenjunga (Kanchenjunga) is situated on the eastern border of Nepal. Its main peak is the third highest in the world (8,586 m). several other peaks in the Kangchenjunga range are over 8,000m. This trek to this area is probably the best that trekking has to offer in terms of lush natural beauty. Travelling into the Yalung glacier and over the Lapsang la and down the difficult route back to Taplejung is an unforgettable experience. However, as the trip crosses the 4,000m mark several times, one must take care of high altitude sickness.

Sandakphu
Sandakphu, being the highest peak in West Bengal offers grand views of the world’s tallest peaks. Lhotse and Makalu, the fourth and fifth highest peaks in the world stand tall at 8,516 mts and 8,463 m, trying to outdo the world’s tallest peak. But how can they? After all, the Everest stands in between them, towering over everything! The months of October and November offer crystal clear mountain views and you can enjoy the glorious sunrise from Sandakphu and Phalut. If you trek in winter, you can even experience fresh snow at Sandakphu!

Dzongri Trek
Dzongri TrekAmazing though it may seem, this whole glory can be savoured on a single trek through West Sikkim. Hugging the razor edged Singalila Ridge, the Himalayan divide between India and Nepal, this much-talked about trek to Dzongri, gets the best of West Sikkim etched indelibly on adventurous minds. From the trail head at Yuksom, the erstwhile capital of Sikkim in the velvet green of 5,800 feet, to the high point of Dzongri Top at 15,000 feet, right in the splendour of the Kanchenjunga National Park, the trek passes through thickly forested ridges crowded with rich flora to the heights above the tree line, finally culminating at the breathtaking snowy heights of the Kanchenjunga National Park.
