Kangchenjunga from Drohmo Ri

Posted in FoxClocks, Travel on August 16th, 2009 by Andy McDonald – 1 Comment

Here’s a short video panorama from the summit of Drohmo Ri in the Nepal Himalaya, taking in the huge North Face of Kangchenjunga. Drohmo Ri, not much more than a vast grey-brown hill above Pangpema (Kangchenjunga North Base Camp), is often said to be over six thousand metres high; but Google Earth, my altimeter and a number of other sources have the altitude at something like 5970m. Oh well.

Apologies for the heavy-breathing soundtrack.
