Zemu Glacier, Glacier in Sikkim, India
The 26-kilometer Zemu Glacier extends through the Kanchenjunga mountain range at an elevation of 4,800 meters above sea level in northeast India.
The formation of Zemu Glacier dates back millions of years, making it one of the largest remaining ice masses in the eastern Himalayas.
Local Sikkim communities consider the glacier a sacred natural element, incorporating its presence into their traditional ceremonies and daily practices.
Access to Zemu Glacier requires specific permits from authorities, and visitors should plan expeditions between March and May for optimal weather conditions.
The glacier supports rare Himalayan species including snow leopards, red pandas, and high-altitude vegetation that grows nowhere else in the world.
