Mt Kanchenjunga is the third highest mountain in the world with an elevation of 8,586 meters (28,169 feet). It is located in the eastern Himalayas on the border between Nepal and India. The mountain is considered sacred by the local people and is surrounded by a diverse range of flora and fauna.
Kanchenjunga was first climbed in 1955 by a British expedition led by Charles Evans. Since then, there have been several successful expeditions to the summit, but it remains a challenging climb due to its remote location, unpredictable weather, and difficult terrain.
The most popular route to climb Mt Kanchenjunga is from the Nepalese side, via the south-west face. The climb usually takes around 45 to 60 days, depending on the weather conditions and the physical fitness of the climbers. The route involves traversing glaciers, steep ice and rock faces, and exposed ridges.
Climbers need to obtain a permit from the Nepalese government to climb Mt Kanchenjunga, and they are also required to hire local guides and porters. The best time to climb Kanchenjunga is during the spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November) when the weather is relatively stable.
It is important for climbers to have previous mountaineering experience and a good level of physical fitness before attempting to climb Mt Kanchenjunga. They should also be prepared for the challenges of high-altitude climbing, including acclimatization, altitude sickness, and extreme weather conditions.
The best time for a Mt Kanchenjunga expedition is during the pre-monsoon and post-monsoon seasons. The pre-monsoon season is from March to May, while the post-monsoon season is from September to November.
During the pre-monsoon season, the weather is generally stable, and the skies are clear, providing excellent visibility. The temperatures are also relatively warm, making it a comfortable time to climb. However, there may be some snowfall, and the winds can be strong.
During the post-monsoon season, the weather is cooler, and the skies are still relatively clear. The trail is also less crowded during this time, making it a good option for those who prefer a quieter climb. However, there may be more snow on the trail, and the winds can be stronger than during the pre-monsoon season.
