to a very unstable scree
slope. It's a passage across

footing, a steep fall to the
river and lots of tumbling

avoid the steeper section.
The views are dramatic, but
you cannot see Kanchenjunga
or Wedge Peak until you are
near Peng Pema. The
spectacular main peak of
Kanchenjunga, and a panorama
of other peaks that make up

at Pang Pema. Stay overnight
at camp. Here you can enjoy
the snow capped mountains
