Mountain in India From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Siniolchu is one of the tallest mountains of the Indian state of Sikkim. The 6,888 metres (22,598 ft) mountain is considered to be particularly aesthetically attractive, having been described by Douglas Freshfield as "the most superb triumph of mountain architecture and the most beautiful snow mountain in the world".[1] It is situated near the green lake adjacent to Kangchenjunga.
