Kabru South from Phonphe Danda
On the 4th day of our 20-day trek to the north and south sides of Kangchenjunga we left our camp at Phonphe Danda (1,865 m, 6,119 ft.), high above the true right side of the Kabeli Khola (Kabeli River) and descended 10 km (6.2 mi.) northeastward, along an undulating trail to Yamphudin (1,695 m, 5,561 ft.) on the true right bank of the river. Kabru South (7,318 m, 24,009 ft.) is seen some 31 km (19 mi.) to the northeast on the horizon at center in this shot taken from our Phonphe Danda camp. The sunlit summit of Rathong (aka Ratong, 6,678 m, 21,909 ft.) is seen below and to the left of Kabru South. Both peaks lie on the border with the Indian state of Sikkim.
