Photos from Nepal - Kanchenjunga (Kangchenjunga) base camp trek.

Kanchenjunga (8.586 meters or 28.169 feet) is the third-highest peak in the world and the second-highest in Nepal.
The route to the north base camp usually starts in flying in to Suketar and then trekking onwards to Phurumbu, Chirwa, Taplechok, Sakathum, Amjillassa ,Ghunsa, Khambachen, Lonak and Pangpema.
An alternative route from Sakathum to Ghunsa is via Magawa , Olanchungola , Nango Khola valley and the Nango La high pass at 4820 meter (15.813 ft).
Here are the first pictures uploaded to Google Earth from this alternative route.
