At an elevation of 8,586 m (28,169 ft.), and with a prominence of 3,922 m (12,867 ft.), Kangchenjunga is the third tallest mountain in the world. It is located in a part of the Himalayas called Kangchenjunca Himal, India. (Due to its prominence above 1,500 m, it is regarded as an Ultra mountain.)
The people of Darjeeling and Sikkim have always worshipped Kangchenjunga, also known as, “Five Treasures of Snow,” because of its five high peaks. Climbers customarily stop short of the summit, respecting a promise to the Chogyal (former monarch of Sikkim) not to violate the top of the mountain.
