Kanchenjunga North - Kambachen

Kambachen (4145 m) is the next stop above Ghunsa towards Kanchenjunga's North base camp. It offers some of the best views of one of the world's most beautiful and difficult to climb mountains - Jannu (7710 m)

Posing on the trail. There is a bridge nearby where the trail splits. To the left is the standard one (on the most maps) but that is no longer safe due to landslides. The safer and slightly longer route goes up to the right.
