Il Kangchenjunga è la terza montagna più elevata della Terra con i suoi 8586 m s.l.m. Situata al confine fra il Nepal e lo Stato indiano del Sikkim, è la cima più alta dell'India, il più orientale degli ottomila dell'Himalaya e, dal 1838 al 1849, ritenuta la vetta più elevata del pianeta, fino a quando rilevamenti britannici appurarono che Everest e K2 erano più elevati.
