The word Kanchenjunga was originated from old Tibetan and translated to five treasures of snow i.e. Gold, Silver, Precious Stones, Grain, and Holy Scripture. Local citizens are worshipping these holy mountains from their ancestor generation.

There are some restricted areas in route to reach the camp so permits are compulsory required in order to complete the trek. The government of tourism in Nepal doesn’t allow for solo hiking and local guides must be employed to obtain permits.
