Trip Fact
Mount Jannu Himal now officially known as Kumbhakarna Himal lies 11km to the West of the summit of Mt. Kanchenjunga. Though lower, it is a very difficult peak, with a summit pyramid that is steep on all sides. The first ascent and and standard route is a complex and difficult, though not extreme, route up the Southeast Ridge, from the Yamatari Glacier. Neighboring peak Jannu East 7,468 meter, was unclimbed as of 1997. On the climbing side, no experience is necessary; however you must be familiar with alpine environments and must understand the risks that camping and climbing above the snowline pose. It was first ascent by René Desmaison, Paul Keller, Robert Paragot, Gyalzen Mitchung Sherpa (a French team), Lionel Terray, André Bertraud, Jean Bouvier, Pierre Leroux, Yves Pollet-Villard, Jean Ravier and Wangdi Sherpa on April 27 and 28, 1962. Previous trekking experience or long route hiking experience is desirable. Our trip starts from Ilam Bazar, Kabeli Khola and our trail back from same trekking route and end at Suketar then we will take flight back to Kathmandu.
