The history of Kanchenjunga Falls is intertwined with the natural history of the Himalayas and the surrounding region. Formed by the melting glaciers of Mount Kanchenjunga, the falls have likely existed for centuries. While no specific historical events are directly associated with the falls themselves, the region has a rich history tied to the indigenous communities and the influence of Tibetan Buddhism. The falls have gained prominence as a tourist destination in recent decades as access to the area has improved. The name itself derives from Mount Kanchenjunga, meaning 'Five Treasures of Snow' in Tibetan, reflecting the five peaks of the mountain, each believed to hold gold, silver, gems, grain, and holy books.
