It is the world’s third highest mountain with and altitude of 8586 meter situated in the eastern Himalayan rang of Nepal. At the west belt of the mountain we can find a Tamur River border for West Bengal and the river tamur flow thoroly and tributary for Jamuna River at Bangladesh and finally join the Bay of Bengal. The Northern belt of Kanchenjunga is bordered from Jongsang peak and Lonak Chu a tributary to Tessta River in Eastern Nepal which is a border of Nepal Eastern Region and Sikkim. The Kanchenjunga has five peaks and it is worshiped by domestic people of Sikkim and Darjeeling naming it as a Fiver treasure of Snow. Mt. Kanchenjunga has four climbing routes, – three of which are in Nepal (South West, North West, and North East) and one from India (North East Sikkim). The North West and South West climbing routes are regarded as the safest route but not necessarily the easiest. In the climbing history, these two routes are the most popular. The North East climbing route from Sikkim recorded only three successful summits to date. It is worth noting that the Indian government has now banned expeditions to Kanchenjunga and therefore, this has now been closed to public since 2000.
