"The official name of this peak is Kumbhakarna, but the designation Jannu is still better known. It is called Phoktanglungma by the native population, literally "mountain with shoulders" (phoktang means "shoulder" and lungma means "mountain"), in the Limbu language, and is sacred in the yuma religion." .. < https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kumbhakarna_Mountain
Took this picture on my trek towards #Kangchenjunga #Pangpema base camp.
East face is lit and the North infamous "Wall of Shadows" is indeed in the shadow. A deep gorge of the Kumbakharna glacier is visible below.
