    Kudos! Professional photography and well commentated. I may add that as an youngster of 24 years, in 1982, I too went on the trek from Gangtok to Dzongri la ( called then) with a bunch of friends. We carried our own cooking stove and provisions. No porters! Nowhere near as commercialized as it looks now en route! Still Pristine beauty . Thanks for flooding my memory once again with the beauty and majesty of nature.

  • @apoorvj1
    @apoorvj1 8 лет назад +6

    Great job George! However, your trek ended at the Sunrise point (also called Viewpoint 1) which is hardly at 4300mts! I believe it is misleading to mention that point as being at 5100mts! Even Viewpoint 2, which is another 2 hours from Viewpoint 1, is at 4800mts and the true Goecha pass (5000 mts) is another half an hour from there!

    • @Moundain
      @Moundain  5 лет назад +1

      Goechala pass is also on the route to Kanchanjangha, but its a very difficult route to the summit. So most people choose to climp Kanchanjangha via nepal and there is a base camp on this route.. which is usually called the Kanchanjangha base camp.
