Mount Kangchenjunga,Darjeeling
Mount Kangchenjunga or Khangchendzonga with an elevation of 8,586 meter (28,169 feet) is the third highest mountain of the world. It is called Five Treasures of Snow after its five high peaks.The Tibetan words are: Kang (Snow) chen (Big) dzö (Treasury) nga (Five).
Mark Twain traveled to Darjeeling in 1896 and later wrote in 'Following the Equator' : "I was told by a resident that the summit of Kinchinjunga is often hidden in the clouds, and that sometimes a tourist has waited twenty-two days and then been obliged to go away without a sight of it. And yet was not disappointed; for when he got his hotel bill he recognized that he was now seeing the highest thing in the Himalayas."!!
