Wanda's Kanchenjunga Wild - on the trailThanks Wanda! These are from our Kanchenjunga Wild Oct-Nov 2001 explorations, a 42 day trip. We spent lots of time exploring, first following an old and now disused trading route to Tibet then Wanda and Jamie went up to Jannu BC area and saw a snow leopard, then we all trekked out from Taplejung to Tumlingtar for some warmer middle hills exploration.
At Kambachen we took an acclimatization rest day and
trekked up towards Jannu Base Camp. |

Oh, the middle hills. Every bit of land is used, whether for crops, grazing or
for firewood.
A contemplative moment. We mainly followed this bubbly river up. As we get higher the villages thin.
Much higher and the river is smaller. Yes, the bridge is bending in the middle!
Lets go exploring. Here we are high in the valley to Tibet. It was a rough, tough walk here but beautiful!
Where is that pass to Tibet? It is somewhere on the
skyline. Lobsang waits while Jamie probes for crevasses.
We didn't find any sign of a trail and just made our own
route up. Wanda decided it was steeper than she would like, |

Yes, it is Jannu again (Khumbukarna is the Nepali
government name for the mountain).
