Kanchenjunga is a sacred mountain. When Joe Brown and George Band first climbed this third-highest mountain in the world, they kept their promise to the Chogyal of Sikkim and stopped short of the summit to respect the sanctity of the mountain.
70 years on, would we do the same?
Join a panel of notable speakers to celebrate the history of Kanchenjunga, including first showings of two short films, and explore the future of mountaineering and adventure travel in our fragile world.
