From Manang we crossed the Marsyangdi valley to Gangapurna Lake, then climbed the glacial moraine above its milky turquoise water. The eroded moraine ridges reveal the former extent of the Gangapurna Glacier. We could see Gangapurna (7,455 m) and Annapurna III (7,555 m).
Manang is a major settlement and a stopping point on old trans-Himalayan trading routes. Dry-stone buildings, prayer flags, chortens and Buddhist practices reflect the region's long links with Tibet. The upper valley lies in the rain shadow of the Annapurna massif, helping explain the relatively dry, ochre landscape despite nearby enormous glaciers.
