 This
magnificent peak rises as a giant shoulder of shining ice
and snow. This is a conical peak on the northern side of
Thapa (Dhampus )Pass and generally snow covered but not
alpine in nature i.e. no crevasses.
Start from Beni on the Kali Gandaki and
follows the Marsyangdi Khola westwards to Darbang before
turning north along a tiny trail that leads though forest
into high country. Much of the route is over snow and glaciers,
crossing the French Col at 5240m, going through the Hidden
Valley and crossing the 5155m Dhampus Pass. The trek passes
Batase Danda (windy hill), where it is usually as windy
as the name suggests, then descends steeply to Marpha in
the Kali Gandaki valley.
