Not a quite popular mountain, even if it is the world's eight highest peak, Manaslu stands as a twin peak not far from Annapurna. With its sister peaks Ganesh Himal and Himal Chuli (both over 25,000 ft), around it, Manaslu looks like it is the highest and biggest of them all. Flanked by the villages enroute like Manang, Manaslu seems to be a rare trekkers dream. However, people travel to Manang to see a greater view of a massive himalayan range, they go to the Manaslu Base camp. Manang (3,351 m), the unofficial capital of the Annapurna Region, offers spectacular views of the Annapurna and Gangapurna looming over the town. To the south is the view of the north face of Annapurnas, so big that it is difficult to grasp their immense scale.
