Everest Region to KanchenjungaRegion: High altitude walk


In Sept 2008: I undertook an high altitude walk from Everest Region (Solu Khumbu) to Kanchenjunga Region with an intention to do as many high passes (above 5000m+/18000ft) as possible existing between these big Peaks.

Between the above stated region exists Five 8000m peaks: Cho Oyu 8201m (6th tallest), Everest 8850m(Tallest), Lhotse 8516m (4th tallest), Makalu (5th tallest) and Khangchendzonga 8586m(5th tallest peak).

I could get the panoramic view of my entire trek from Mera high camp,5800m when I visited this after the Renjo la Trek.
