Kanchenjunga Mountain, located in the northeastern Indian state of Sikkim adjacent to Nepal, is the third highest peak in the world, reaching an elevation of 8,586 meters above sea level. It is a part of the Himalayan mountain range and holds spiritual significance for the local Sikkimese people. The word 'Kanchenjunga' means 'The Five Treasures of Snows', which refers to the mountain's five high peaks. It is considered a sacred entity, embodying the deities of Sikkim's indigenous religion. The mountain is splendid not only for mountaineers but also for trekkers who seek to explore its surrounding areas. The Kanchenjunga National Park, also a UNESCO World Heritage site, encompasses diverse ecosystems, rich in flora and fauna. Thus, the region promotes eco-tourism while preserving the delicate environment. Moreover, Kanchenjunga has been less commercialized in comparison to other peaks, which means it retains much of its pristine beauty and offers unspoiled natural vistas for its visitors.

On a Clear Day you can see it from Mall Road
The best thing when you're in Darjeeling is the view of Kanchenjunga mountains which is clearly visible even from the mall road on a clear and sunny day.
