“I want to gaze at the Five Treasures of Snows; Kanchenjunga, that rears up like a frozen wave of ice.”

― Susan Jagannath, Chasing Himalayan Dreams

Kanchenjunga which is the third highest peak in the world is both serene and stunning. It originates from a Tibetan word which means- ‘The Five Treasures of the High Snow’. They indicate the five treasures of God- gold, silver, gems, grain, and holy books. Trekkers and mountaineers from all over the world look forward to visiting this striking beauty at least once in their lives. Goecha La trek in Sikkim is the starting point for the Kanchenjunga trek.
