Kangchenjunga 2009
Posted in FoxClocks, Travel on May 18th, 2009 by Andy McDonald – 4 CommentsKangchenjunga, straddling Nepal’s far eastern border with the Indian state of Sikkim, is the planet’s third-highest peak. Although visible from Darjeeling – and therefore in the days of the British Raj a much better-known peak – it is relatively remote. From the Nepalese roadhead of Taplejung to Kangchenjunga North Base Camp and back would take at least two weeks. A more circuitous and leisurely trek, such as I recently took with the fine people from Project Himalaya, takes closer to three weeks.
Here are some holiday snaps from that trip. Words to follow.
