ZEMU GAP: The great Kanchenjhongha east ridge continued to Zemu Peak & an unnamed peak and ends at zemu gap from where rises the sharp wall of Simvu peak. Zemu Gap is situated in between the head of the zemu glacier,N.Sikkim & a tributary gl.of Tonsyong of west sikkim & thus it connects North & West Sikkim.Its coordinate is 27°40'9"N 88°12'53"E.It is yet to tread by human being.Douglas Fresh Field during his round kanchenjhongha trip had a go toward the Zemu Gl & casted a glance of the gap in 1899.It is said that yeti foot prints were seen by the German team over there in 1931 & later in 1937 by Jhon Hunt's expedition party. Captain Boustead claimed to be crossed the gap from south side(through Tongsyong gl)to reach zemu gl & back in the same route.Inspired by Boustead's report the legendary explorer Bil Tilman in 1936 along with 4 sherpas made a serious attempt to cross the gap.He crossed Talung gl and reached Tonsyong gl through the scree,rock & snow slopes of the rock projection between talung-tonsyong gl.He established a camp in the the tributary ice fall of Tonsyong Gl.that leads to Zemu gap. He tried his best but huge crevasses & avalance prone zones forced him to return from about 18000'.He turned down Captain Boustead's claim & remarked some misconceptions went behind the claim.He might have climbed some steps & returned back to Talung Gl. In 1975 an Indian Expedition to Talung Pk was unsuccesful & two members Nima Tashi & Col Bajaj tried the Gap.As per Bajaj's inflated report they reached Tonsyong & climbed through the Tributary Gl easily but nearly 200'-300'below the gap they found two huge crevasses of nearly 30-40ft width each one that forced them to retreat.I came to know from Mr Tashi that Col Bajaj's report was much exaggerated.Thereafter in fact a few attempts were made but no serious attempt have been was undertaken so far.There are huge crevasses & avalance prone zones in the gap which cannot be negotiated with out quality climbers & with proper motivation. Besides that,due to global warming the feature of the glaciers as well as the gap have changed a lot which is clearly visible through google map as well as some current photogrphs.Three British climbers (belongs red rope)in 2008 attempted the gap with inadequate arrangements & according to their report they returned from tongsyong gl.I contacted Mr Colin Knowels, leader of the expedition who remained silent to comment. In late Nov 2009 a Kolkata Team under the leadership of Asit Pal attempted an unnamed pk beside zemu gap in Kanchenjhongha East Ridge with a view to reach Zemu Gap.They reached upper Zemu Gl & took some excellent photographs & returned back.In March 2010 another Kolkata team went to recce from south side.They reached Yeonjhotak(5 pokhris).It reveals from their photographs crevasses & avalance prone zones remarkably increased on either side of glaciers. Finally I would conclude that a serious attempt should be made by experienced mountaineers & sikkim govt should facilitate the exp.party because the permission from the Sikim Govt is one of the toughest hurdles for the civilians.

Zemu Peak(7780m)

Zemu pk or zemu gap pk is situated almost at the east ridge of Kanchenjhogha at the head of zemu glacier.It is situated Sikkim,India at 27°41'23"N 88°11'19"E. It could not be differentiated as a seperate pk in early days. But in the late 90s it has got its identity when it is found in a little subsidiary ridge toward NE from the East ridge of kanchenjhagha.It is still unclimbed & Very diffcult to climb.The only possible route to the Pk is through the stiff buttress full of avalance prone zones.It has never been attempted & is said to be highest unclimbed pk of the world.

Rathong Peak 6678m

It rises in the Indo-Nepal boarder.Its Coordinates is 27°35'36"N 88°5'12"E.It is directly connected with Kanchejhonga south peak through Kabru North-South-IV-Talung peaks.In the north side of the peak is in Nepal and it rises from famous Yalung gl of Kanchenjhongha west.In the south there is rathong icefall & glacier.In the west rathong La seperates it from Koktang gr of peaks of singhalia range.In the east and SE are Kabru Massif with less known avalanch peak. Climbing History:: It was climbed in 1963 Indian pre-Everest team.They put 9 members atop from the Yalung side. Some attempts by HMI adv courses failed.In 1992 a ladies team from Kolkata had an attempt but there poor experience cost a life of a Sherpa.It was followed by a serious attempt by our team from Siliguri taking Nima Tashi as climbing leader.Tashi,DDFT of HMI, had the experience of climbing the peak in 1963.Our team was full of experince members so expectation was very high.But after two successive attempt from Yalung gl. camp we could not able to establish the summit camp.The feature of the region was completly changed due to global warming.Tashi had a fall and got hurt in his hand.He left the expedition.The weather was alarming so we decided to abondone the exp. We reached nearly 20000+ft from where we returned to BC.The next day we had a life-time experince of witnessing two glacial lake brust.The nerve racking sounds & the huge water-ice slab streams blew away our kitchen gears and equipments.We all perplexed from morning to mid-day.At about 3-30pm it calm down but the water stream was flowing beside our tents all the day.We had to face great difficulties while our way back since small bridges were blown away on rathong chu. Next to us a major invasion to the Kabru Massif was conducted by Indian army team under the leadership of col.Goath. Goath was VP of HMI and keenly interested in mtg.He was with us during our exp in 1992.He was successful to climb Kabru N-S & Dome.Had an attempt to Rathong but not completed. A British pair Owen Samuel & Roger Payne made a good attempt to the peak from SE ridge in 2008.The route was through exposed rock & mixed snow with rocks.They progressed through exposed bivouac upto 6000m app. but had to returned back due to strongwind. My experince of witnessing the two successive glacial lake brust is the rarest thing and an experince of lifetim.

Epicentre of Earthquake on 18.09.2011

An earthquake measuring 6.8 rs at a depth of 20.7 km (12.9 miles) shook the region including Sikkim,Tibet,east & central Nepal & plains of Bengal & a part of Bihar at about 06:10:48 PM pm on 18.09.11.AT 27°43'18"N & 88°3'56"E of Ramthang Gl,Taplejung Dist of East Nepal is the original epicentre of the 1st quake(6.8-6.9rs).It is in high mountain region near NW face of MT. kanchenjhongha .Infact inhabitant of NNE part of east nepal is very less as a result loss of life is also very less in compare to the amplification(magnitude).In the west Lohnak,Kambachen,Ghunsa,Wallung are the nearest villages which are having very poor habitant.Yamphudin the nearest in the SW also having same feature.Some media like NDTV,DD described it as Sikkim Earthquake which confused the epicentre locations. Actually the epicentre of 2 after shock tremors(4-4.4rs) were in Tholung Gumpha area of Mangan Dist of N.Sikkim. East Nepal mountain area is very near to the north Sikkim.I think it is why the epicentre confussions started.The Dist town Magan is almost crow fly distance from the highlighted epicentre where only 1 death has been reported so far.Casualties in Chungthang & other project area nearby is remarkably high & most of them belong to poor labour class who were working under a pvt construction co.'Teesta Urja'.They did not have even a permanent shelter.

Talung River

Originating from the Talung-Tonsyong Glacier's confluance it flows to EES to meet Teesta near Singhik,Mangan Dist. of N.Sikim.In the upper streachs number of streams,rivulets from southern part of Simvu-Sinalchu region & Zorpetam mountain terrain (at the east of Pandim-Tinchenkhang region),fed the main stream.Thus its name in catchment areas of this mountain river changed place to place.According to records it is Rukel chu at first then Rungayang or Rongyoung & there after Talung or Tholung Chu till its confluance near Singhik.The river is full of deep gorge in upper streches

Sumeru Parbat

Hi. I noticed you made edits to this article in March 2019 and October 2013. I did some digging in various journals and found a description of the 1984/5? ascent in HJ 1986. However, the HJ article mentions 1985 and not 1984 as the ascent year. Maybe this was a typo that was corrected in a later HJ edition? The HJ article also states the the first ascent was in 1971. I don't know if you are the actual person who wrote the HJ 1986 article since the credited author is the same as your username here. If you can, please read the comments on the Talk:Sumeru_Parbat and if you can provide any additional information about the 1971 and 1984/5? ascents that would help clear up the date issues that would be most helpful.
