Kanchenjunga Above the Clouds

Kanchenjunga (8586m) viewed from Sandakphu, looking towards Sikkim. The clear air is no doubt helped by the altitude - 3630m. Just around the corner (or over a small mound) you can also get a view of Everest, but the cloud wasn't as good in that direction and it is much further away. Best viewed large to see more detail - there's a red-robed monk in there somewhere.

Kanchenjunga in the Setting Sun

Kanchenjunga (8586m) at sunset from Sandakphu, Sikkim. This viewpoint is an ideal place to view the mountain in the setting sun, although a little chilly at 3663m. The same cloud had been raining on us earlier in the day, so we paid our respects to the mountain gods for allowing us this fabulous view.
