Mountains in your face, Manang

The view from the roof of the Ghyalchan Lodge, Manang. The mountains appear so close that you imagine that you could almost reach out and touch them. From left to right can be seen Annapurna II 7,937m , Annapurna IV 7,535m, the false peak of Annapurna III 7,555m (the false peak hides the true summit which you will see from Yak Kharka) Gangapurna 7454m with the North Gangapurna Glacier below it, The Grande Barriere and Tilicho Peak 7143m.
