7. ANSWER REVEALING
1. ANS. Kangchenjunga
2. Kangchenjunga, also spelled Kanchenjunga, is the third highest mountain in the world. It rises with
an elevation of 8,586 m (28,169 ft) in a section of the Himalayas called Kangchenjunga
Himal delimited in the west by the Tamur River, in the north by the Lhonak Chu and Jongsang La, and
in the east by the Teesta River. It lies between India and Nepal, with three of the five peaks, namely
Main, Central and South, directly on the border,and the peaks West and Kangbachen in
Nepal's Taplejung District.
3. Until 1852, Kangchenjunga was assumed to be the highest mountain in the world, but calculations
based on various readings and measurements made by the Great Trigonometrical Survey of India in
1849 came to the conclusion that Mount Everest, known as Peak XV at the time, was the highest.
Allowing for further verification of all calculations, it was officially announced in 1856 that
Kangchenjunga is the third highest mountain in the world.
4. Kangchenjunga was first climbed on 25 May 1955 by Joe Brown and George Band, who were part of
the 1955 British Kangchenjunga expedition.
8. FACTS ABOUT KANGCHENJUNGA
1. Kangchenjunga is the official spelling adopted by Douglas Freshfield, Alexander Mitchell Kellas and
the Royal Geographical Society that gives the best indication of the Tibetan pronunciation. Freshfield
referred to the spelling used by the Indian Government since the late 19th century.
2. The brothers Hermann, Adolf and Robert Schlagintweit explained the local name ' kangchenjunga '
meaning “The five treasures of the high snow” as originating from the Tibetan word "gangs“.
3. Local people believe that the treasures are hidden but reveal themselves to the devout when the world
is in peril; the treasures comprise salt, gold, turquoise and precious stones, sacred scriptures,
invincible armor or ammunition, grain and medicine.
4. Protected areas:-
5. The Kangchenjunga landscape is a complex of three distinct ecoregions: the eastern Himalayan
broad-leaved and coniferous forests, the Eastern Himalayan alpine shrub and meadows and the Terai-
Duar savanna and grasslands.
6. The Kangchenjunga transboundary landscape is shared by Nepal, India, Bhutan and China, and
comprises 14 protected areas with a total of 6,032 km2 (2,329 sq mi).

height of 4,664 metres (15,302 ft), along the watershed boundary between Arun and Brahmaputra
rivers in Tibet.
