At a height of 8,586 meters, Kanchenjunga (Khangchendzonga, Kangchenjunga) is the tallest mountain in India.
The picture was taken about 7 years ago during the 7-day trek to Goecha la (gochela). We woke up on a freezing morning at 5am and walked up to a ridge near Dzongri log hut for this view. It was cloudy and we were doubtful about seeing the peak during the sunrise. Thankfully the weather got better at about 6.30am, when this is what we got to see.

wow! stunning
stunning shot, Arun – very impressive! it was this sight that I missed all through my travel in Sikkim (you must have seen my post ‘in search of the Kjunga’)
Thanks Sreenidhi.
Yes Charu, I have seen your post about Pelling/Yuksom. I too went through some moments wondering if we will ever get to see it well, but eventually did.
I made another trip to Sikkim the same year, when I saw another perspective of KJ from Gangtok in a clear weather. It looks pretty from there.
picturesque shot! Too good Arun. Thanks for dropping by on my blog. Good to know you and you seem to be an expert in such treks and photography!
Nice! Lucky you..
Thank you Mohan. Pleasure is mine.
