Kangchenjunga Landscape Book 2015.pdf

Mount ‘Kangchenjunga,’ the third highest mountain peak of the world (8,586m), is culturally regarded as the Five Treasures (repositories of God) of Snow: gold, silver, gems, grain and holy books. The mountain is called ‘Sewalungma,’ in Limbu language meaning ‘the mountain that we offer greetings to.’ Further, the strategic location of KL among the three countries
makes it an appropriate conservation landscape that requires regional transboundary cooperation.
