Ashesh Ambasta is a seasoned trekker and photographer who has done a number of treks with South Col Expeditions. In late October and November 2024, Praveen Gupta, Deepak Chandnani, Daniel Bayer and Ashesh trekked to both the north and south base camps of Kangchenjunga, the third highest peak in the world, from the Nepal side. In this evocative account with wonderful images Ashesh shares their experience of this outstanding trek still relatively unspoilt.
The first part of his journey to the north base camp Pangpems is documented here https://sujoyrdas.blogspot.com/2025/05/kangchenjunga-north-and-south-base.html
