Kanchenjunga is situated in the eastern Himalayas, approximately 46 miles (74 km) north-northwest of Darjeeling in the state of Sikkim, northeastern India, and eastern Nepal. It lies on the boundary between Sikkim and Nepal. The name "Kanchenjunga" is derived from four Tibetan syllables that, in Sikkim, are translated as the "Five Treasuries of the Great Snow." This refers to the five distinct peaks of Kanchenjunga.
