At 8598m, this is the world's third highest mountain. From Darjeeling,
the best uninterrupted views of it are from Bhan Bhakta Sarani. The name
Kanchenjunga is derived from the Tibetan Khang (snow), chen (big), dzong
(fortress or treasury) nga (five) - big five peaked snow fortress, or
big five peaked treasury of the snow. |
