| Weather |
|
|
|
| With Annapurna Range to its immediate south and the higher Himalayas to its immediate north, Manang, or the Valley of Nyeshang, features height that ranges from 3,000 to 8,000+ meters. Monsoon clouds are effectively blocked by the mountains and it is up to the glaciers and melted mountain snow to feed the many lakes, brooks, rivers, meadows, forests and farmlands in the area. The valley's harsh landscape has, so far, prevented roads from being built. Travel is possible through man-made trails on horseback or on foot. |
