1999 Kanchenjunga
Tumlingtar to Pang Pema
The picture above was taken from Pang Pema, the base camp for Kangchenjunga. At 8598m it is the third highest peak in the world. The summit is the peak to the left. We arrived here on 27th October 1999 .
My written log of the trek is here.
10th October 1999:
We arrived in Kathmandu to very warm sunny weather. It was the usual chaos through the airport. We felt like seasoned Kathmandoers having been here the year before and we were soon on the bus to the Raddison Hotel.
At 2pm we met the rest of the group, all 12 of them, and had our trek briefing. We went out for dinner that night and wandered back through the mayhem of Thamil, doing a bit of shopping along the way. It is always an interesting experience meeting your fellow trekkers and learning their names, especially with a group this size, is a daunting task.
