WHITE MAGIC KANGCHENJUNGA
(15 days)
This route is articulated around a difficult trek which takes
you along until Goechala to 5000m of altitude, contrary to the
south-eastern face of the MT. Khangchenjunga (8345m), the third
top of the world but also one of the most majestic peaks. The
trek starts in a dense forest subtropical and passes through
vast grazing grounds, where feed Yaks to reach the alpine stage
finally, where the high shrubs of Rhododendron of a few
centimetres constitute the only vegetation. The day, the
temperature can rise with 20 maximum degrees during the trek
whereas the minimal temperature borders the zero.
To rest, we finish in Darjeeling- “the Queen of the Himalayas”,
turbulent tourist city, re-elected for its plantations of the,
its Himalayan institute of alpinism, its sunrise on the
Himalayas since the hill of the Tiger, its reminiscences of the
British Empire.
