Manaslu 07 03 Manaslu Medium Shot Sunrise From Syala  [3 of 23]


Wow! The subtle changes of the light on Manaslu are terrific. Manaslu (8156m) is said to derive from the Sanskrit word Manasa, which means soul; therefore Manaslu is the Mountain of the Soul. It was earlier known as Kutang I, while the Survey of India’s symbol was merely Peak XXX. According to Snelgrove, the local Tibetan name for Manaslu is Pung-gyen, which is also the name to the god who resides on it.
