Sikkim Mountains
" Our moon was almost full.. the nearer snows were but faint and indistinct, while between their pale shadowy masses the whole peak of Kangchenjunga was fully illuminated as by a heavenly seachlight. The rock and ice were transfigured into a silver shrine, a visionary emblem of purity and aspiration. The worship of Kangchenjunga at that moment seemed very reasonable service." Round Kangchenjunga by Douglas Freshfield 1899.

on Jul 23Hi! I hope that you read this. I am a zoologist working on taxonomy of insects. I am at present describing a new species of weevil collected in Dorji La, Bhutan. I could not trace this pass in my available Bhutan maps, but I saw the photo from a google search. Thus I would like to have some information on the location of this pass (enough to have a georeference as indicated in google earth, for example), so that I can give precise data in the description. Thank you! Massimo
