width=&quot;200&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Tilicho lake is one of the highest lakes in the world. It is 4,949 m high in the Annapurna range of the Himalayas in Nepal. Another source lists Lake Tilicho as being 4,919 meters high (16,138 feet). Mountain lakes are known to geographers as tarns if they &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a name=&#39;more&#39;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;are caused by glacial activity. Tarns are found mostly in the upper reaches of the Himalaya, above 5,500 metres. Due to the extremely inhospitable surrounding terrain and the difficulties associated with reaching the area, this lake is rarely visited by outsiders.</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://nepaliwonder.blogspot.com/feeds/6603086323073808724/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://nepaliwonder.blogspot.com/2009/10/tilicho-lake.html#comment-form' title='8 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6605453933660207935/posts/default/6603086323073808724'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6605453933660207935/posts/default/6603086323073808724'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://nepaliwonder.blogspot.com/2009/10/tilicho-lake.html' title='Tilicho Lake'/><author><name>Unknown</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhj7lYtzFCuBkwh_K2HdZY-U2XnjoVL2qamfbzloNeAT4LgS5OuUt0lm8p-ZKeYxE95ubcNio4iO6xe1Yd7g0t_ZVS6TkqGqRchiyj5bHlaANXXTM3unKp3iB9VBG00B2kz5PTzoNeCbrvG/s72-c/Tilicho+Lake.gif" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>8</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6605453933660207935.post-6915796614667867973</id><published>2009-10-17T04:39:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-07-19T05:38:34.132-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Kanchenjunga Mountain</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYRO_NSyx9SVuYwliOb0VKtb6hgnuzIV3wOmyYVMXf_SlgAvYtYvID8neX3roQbJhDLUq4CSLi9WsVzEu0wR4BJGCmtjwLQ5HCzF6l1t3ftxzBBUOzCI4gBd6IThTCLi7-rPpK534PHvkj/s1600-h/Kanchenjunga+evening+light.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;131&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYRO_NSyx9SVuYwliOb0VKtb6hgnuzIV3wOmyYVMXf_SlgAvYtYvID8neX3roQbJhDLUq4CSLi9WsVzEu0wR4BJGCmtjwLQ5HCzF6l1t3ftxzBBUOzCI4gBd6IThTCLi7-rPpK534PHvkj/s200/Kanchenjunga+evening+light.jpg&quot; width=&quot;200&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Kangchenjunga is the third highest mountain in the world (after Mount Everest and K2), with an elevation of 8,586 metres (28,169 ft). Kangchenjunga translated means &quot;The Five Treasures of Snows&quot;, as it contains five peaks, four of them over &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a name=&#39;more&#39;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;8,450 metres, the treasures representing the five repositories of God, which are gold, silver, gems, grain, and holy books. Kangchenjunga is also called SewaLungma in the local Limbu language and is considered sacred in the Kirant religion. Three of the five peaks (main, central, and south) are on the border of North Sikkim district of Sikkim, India and Taplejung District of Nepal, while the other two are completely in Taplejung District. Nepal is home to the Kangchenjunga Conservation Area Project run by the World Wildlife Fund , in association with HMG in Nepal, the sanctuary is also home to the Red Panda and other snow animals, birds and plants. India&#39;s side of Kangchenjunga also has a protected park area called the Khangchendzonga National Park. Until 1852, Kangchenjunga was assumed to be the highest mountain in the world, but calculations made by the British Great Trigonometric Survey in 1849 came to the conclusion that Mount Everest (known as Peak XV at the time) was the highest and Kangchenjunga the third-highest. Kangchenjunga was first climbed on May 25, 1955 by Joe Brown and George Band of a British expedition. The British expedition honoured the beliefs of the Sikkimese, who hold the summit sacred, by stopping a few feet short of the actual summit. Most successful summit parties since then have followed this tradition.&lt;script type=&quot;text/javascript&quot;&gt;

The upper part of the gorge is also called Thak Khola after the local Thakali people who became prosperous from trans-himalayan trade. The gorge separates major peaks Dhaulagiri (8167 m) to the west and Annapurna (8091 m) to the east. According to &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a name=&#39;more&#39;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;the difference between the river elevation and these peaks, this is the world&#39;s deepest gorge. The river runs at elevations between 1300 and 2600 metres, 5500 to 6800 metres lower than the peaks. The river is older than the Himalayas. As tectonic activity forced the mountains higher, the river cut down through the uplift. The Kali Gandaki rises along the Tibet border and coincident Ganges-Brahmaputra divide and flows south through the ancient kindom Mustang. The gorge begins at Kagbeni where Himalayan ranges begin to close in. The river continues southwards past Jomsom, Marpha and Tukuche to the deepest part of the gorge in the area of Lete. The gorge then broadens past Dana and Tatopani towards Beni. The Kali Gandaki gorge has been used as a trade route between India and Tibet for centuries. Today, it is part of a popular trekking route from Pokhara to Muktinath, part of the Annapurna Circuit.

The mountain, that constitutes a part of the Himalaya&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a name=&#39;more&#39;&gt;&lt;/a&gt; range in Asia, it s positioned on the edge amid Sagarmatha Zone (Nepal) as well as Tibet (China). The popularity of Mount Everest amongst climbers can be estimated from the fact that by the end of the 2007 climbing season about 3,679 ascents had been undertaken to the summit by about 2,436 individuals. However the death toll has been reported to have been around 210 fatalities on the mountain, wherein conditions are so complex that most corpses have been left as and where they fell; of which some are noticeable from customary climbing routes. The climbers who undertake the journey to the pinnacle of Mount Everest vary from qualified mountaineers to comparative beginners who are dependent upon their paid guides to reach onto the top. This is why, the climbers form an important source of tourist revenue for Nepal, wherein the local government also necessitates all the potential climbers to get hold of a costly sanction, with the price tag of up to $25,000 (USD) for each individual.</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://nepaliwonder.blogspot.com/feeds/4414837043818629330/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://nepaliwonder.blogspot.com/2009/10/mount-everest.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6605453933660207935/posts/default/4414837043818629330'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6605453933660207935/posts/default/4414837043818629330'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://nepaliwonder.blogspot.com/2009/10/mount-everest.html' title='Mount Everest'/><author><name>Unknown</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkK_qo04OxI-QyRInyqfa8D4K_RgngFnjkbFu-888LS6wk99z7_XL0MVQM20Sz68taQGoxZ6BxYYuN3eliEbxl0rLWv1K2w684TzDrt4T_cHYxMKRJdqHantoJ_-HgqRxMedzujT2K6952/s72-c/Mt.+Everest.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6605453933660207935.post-1093796044682749606</id><published>2009-10-17T04:26:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-07-19T06:03:29.283-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Annapurna Range</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTuqxAxhPDMoDI0RJ0BTSyFxFXlOmFwQa14ZhwG8cZE5JwGHHJl6L-Ag1AkYwz20_BK08hZun4mGrTqL6Oy2gLzJJsSaQ0SdAcULRz-xLn1EBb_S6O9GdRWBY0eiLxwfGEaNJmOkq9-0Cg/s1600-h/Annapurna+Range.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTuqxAxhPDMoDI0RJ0BTSyFxFXlOmFwQa14ZhwG8cZE5JwGHHJl6L-Ag1AkYwz20_BK08hZun4mGrTqL6Oy2gLzJJsSaQ0SdAcULRz-xLn1EBb_S6O9GdRWBY0eiLxwfGEaNJmOkq9-0Cg/s200/Annapurna+Range.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Annapurna is a series of peaks in the Himalayas, a 55 km (34 mi)-long massif of which the highest point, Annapurna I, stands at 8091m, making it the 10th-highest summit in the world and one of the 14 &quot;eight-thousanders&quot;. It is located east of a great gorge cut &lt;br /&gt;

(Dhaulagiri I lies 34 km west of Annapurna I.) अन्नपूर्णा Annapūrṇā is a Sanskrit name which literally means &quot;full of food&quot; (feminine form), but is normally translated as Goddess of the Harvests. In Hinduism, Annapurna is a goddess of fertility and agriculture and an avatar of Durga.The entire massif and surrounding area are protected within the 7,629 sq. km Annapurna Conservation Area Project (ACAP), the first and largest conservation area in Nepal, established in 1986 by the King Mahendra Trust for Nature Conservation. The Annapurna Conservation Area is home to several world-class treks, including the Annapurna Circuit.

The large rock in the center of the lake is said to be the remains of a Shiva shrine and it is also claimed that channel carries water from the lake directly to the tank at the Kumbheshwar Temple in Patan, 60 km to the south.</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://nepaliwonder.blogspot.com/feeds/9099892766282467925/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://nepaliwonder.blogspot.com/2009/10/gosainkunda-lake.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6605453933660207935/posts/default/9099892766282467925'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6605453933660207935/posts/default/9099892766282467925'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://nepaliwonder.blogspot.com/2009/10/gosainkunda-lake.html' title='Gosainkunda Lake'/><author><name>Unknown</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqwa8dYfK4Q1x-0D1-IkytGg-_0_u3dUdZYNAReFe3AfyJjIWCOFIwp7-sQ52H-udwpLaJEcnQe2uxpepfkRjblx5LYCIqUvgKoRmpWRmmw7ir8cEjt1pJ-NeGtA1DMMco6cclEKj-wnIW/s72-c/Gosainkunda+lake.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6605453933660207935.post-4305504485960071033</id><published>2009-10-17T04:23:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-07-19T06:04:31.692-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Imja Glacier Lake</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;The Imja Glacier skirts the southern slope of Island Peak, Imja Tse, in the Himalayan Khumbu Range of Eastern Nepal, just southeast of Mount Everest.

Trisuli river starts from Betrawati (625m) and flows to Narayanghat (170m) covering distance of 141 kms. This river is most popular rafting river with impressive gorges, exciting rapids, some easier sections, and easily acceessible from Kathmandu and Pokhara. This river is also recomended for intermediate kayakers. Not far from Betrawati, Trisuli joins the Bhote Kosi that flows from Tibet; the two rivers joining in some pretty fearsome looking gorges that are visible on the way up to the Langtang Trek. By Betrawati the gradient has eased and after this it becomes a more mature and powerful river which later adds many other major rivers to its flow - the Buri Gandaki, the Marshyangdi, and the Seti. When the Kali Gandaki joins it, shortly before the plains, it changes its name to Narayani. Here, it is a mighty river - peak flows in the Monsoon have been measured at 25,700 cu.mecs (extream, instantaneous discharge); about 900,000 cubic feet per second (cfs) or 50 times the typical flow of the Colorado River through the Grand Canyon. Normally the flow on the main rafting section of the Trisuli is about half that of the Grand Canyon, and in many ways the rapids are smaller scale versions of those on the Colorado; they are formed mainly by boulder outwash from tributary streams and are characterised by big green shoots, holes either side, and huge exploding waves down the bottom.&amp;nbsp;The river has carved some very impressive gorges in its lower part as it cut its way through the 2000m high Mahabharat Range. These gorges are also the route followed the Prithivi Highway, the first national highway that linked Kathmandu to India. The opposite side to the road is relatively wild and uninhabitated and pleanty of wildlife is seen here, a profusion of colourful birds, including eagles and vultures - especially true if continue on down into Chitwan National Park where you may see crocodiles and rhino by the riverside.</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://nepaliwonder.blogspot.com/feeds/3959197736721726975/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://nepaliwonder.blogspot.com/2009/10/trisuli-river.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6605453933660207935/posts/default/3959197736721726975'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6605453933660207935/posts/default/3959197736721726975'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://nepaliwonder.blogspot.com/2009/10/trisuli-river.html' title='Trisuli River'/><author><name>Unknown</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEip3J-fXiclsKA2Df9bL37nzratrElWCbehBigTE4dip_htSIGXZ6M6GkvXCa6v3musyX5pqYn8b3OEbxNbARU2F8HmuYc4jUD4E6YwvQcd2gg4v2CDosY-f0f8n4I1NaXhReetPL81c5J-/s72-c/Trisuli+River.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6605453933660207935.post-5256099859092692373</id><published>2009-10-17T04:08:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-11-06T10:06:43.537-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Karnali River</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAvDEnHlvDxDETYLoeQbvPr1v01IDPWQ7oLzSe06tH2y6HLLPGk-Xw66mSMXS7Fu9spfF3tfUUdMTroDdZkczc-Hykx2w76xQHeHpUUMkLqWnHVFUve31mZPnpc_m6QaU6wKrlZAAPwlCj/s1600-h/Karnali+River.JPG&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAvDEnHlvDxDETYLoeQbvPr1v01IDPWQ7oLzSe06tH2y6HLLPGk-Xw66mSMXS7Fu9spfF3tfUUdMTroDdZkczc-Hykx2w76xQHeHpUUMkLqWnHVFUve31mZPnpc_m6QaU6wKrlZAAPwlCj/s200/Karnali+River.JPG&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;The Karnali river is a perennial, torrential, turbulent and undisturbed river of the Himalayas, which is one of the three major rivers of Nepal, the other two being Gandaki or Narayani River and Sapta koshi River. It originates from Mansarover and Rakes lake and receives many snow fed rivers such as Mugu Karnali and Humla Karnali at Himalayan belt. The Karnali basin lies between the mountain ranges of Dhaulagiri and Nanda Devi, in the western part of Nepal. In the north, it lies in the rain shadow of the Himalayas. The Karnali river has its origin in the perpetually snow covered Himalayan mountains.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gorgeous scenery of KarnaliThe Karnali river is the longest river in Nepal, 507 Km in length, forms several gorges with its swift currents. A 202 Km long, Seti River, its feeder stream, drains the western part of the catchment, and joins the Karnali River in Doti north of Dundras hill. Another feeder stream, 264 Km long Bheri river, drains the eastern part of the Catchment and meets the Karnali River near Kuineghat in Surkhet. It makes a spectacular gorge near Chisapani which contains diverse kinds of trans -Himalayan and sub-Himalayan fish species. The bottom of the Karnali River is mostly boulder-strewn at its upper reaches and sandy at its lower reaches and the river water is clean except in rainy season. Its depth ranges from 3-10 m but in deep gorges varies from 50 m-100m. Karnali fans divides into two main channels, first Geruwa on the left and Kauralia on the right near downstream Chisapani.</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://nepaliwonder.blogspot.com/feeds/5256099859092692373/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://nepaliwonder.blogspot.com/2009/10/karnali-river.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6605453933660207935/posts/default/5256099859092692373'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6605453933660207935/posts/default/5256099859092692373'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://nepaliwonder.blogspot.com/2009/10/karnali-river.html' title='Karnali River'/><author><name>Unknown</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAvDEnHlvDxDETYLoeQbvPr1v01IDPWQ7oLzSe06tH2y6HLLPGk-Xw66mSMXS7Fu9spfF3tfUUdMTroDdZkczc-Hykx2w76xQHeHpUUMkLqWnHVFUve31mZPnpc_m6QaU6wKrlZAAPwlCj/s72-c/Karnali+River.JPG" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6605453933660207935.post-3286538946244228932</id><published>2009-10-17T04:05:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-11-20T09:43:03.504-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Cho Oyu Mountain</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTsQ9qU9QpNw3uScn8VKyZcRmeOroF2gy5dDBExRZVHS-9ZV3p9bp8EV1xHrhUAAbufSEsQHlqCnHGo40sb-cut6qn2KbMEXjp8Sz2uvBfs5O8U7TzwX6Xdwq5MMk_gRvUndlN_uwez0Ct/s1600-h/Cho+Oyu.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTsQ9qU9QpNw3uScn8VKyZcRmeOroF2gy5dDBExRZVHS-9ZV3p9bp8EV1xHrhUAAbufSEsQHlqCnHGo40sb-cut6qn2KbMEXjp8Sz2uvBfs5O8U7TzwX6Xdwq5MMk_gRvUndlN_uwez0Ct/s200/Cho+Oyu.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;Cho Oyu is the sixth highest mountain in the world. Cho Oyu lies in the Himalayas and is 20 km west of Mount Everest, at the border between China and Nepal. Cho Oyu means &quot;Turquoise Goddess&quot; in Tibetan. Cho Oyu was first attempted in 1952 by an expedition organised and financed by the Joint Himalayan Committee of Great Britain as preparation for an attempt on Mount Everest the following year. The expedition was led by Eric Shipton and included Tom Bourdillon, but technical difficulties at an ice cliff above 6,650m (21,820ft) proved beyond their abilities. The mountain was first climbed on October 19, 1954 via the north-west ridge by Herbert Tichy, Joseph Jöchler and Sherpa Pasang Dawa Lama of an Austrian expedition. Cho Oyu was the fifth 8000 metre peak to be climbed, after Annapurna in June 1950, Mount Everest in May 1953, Nanga Parbat in July 1953 and K2 in July 1954. Just a few kilometres west of Cho Oyu is Nangpa La (5,716m/18,753ft), a glaciated pass that serves as the main trading route between the Tibetans and the Khumbu&#39;s Sherpas. Due to its proximity to this pass and the generally moderate slopes of the standard northwest ridge route, some climbers consider Cho Oyu to be the easiest 8,000 metre peak to climb, and it is a popular objective for professionally guided parties.&lt;br /&gt;

It is the second largest lake in Nepal and lying at an altitude of 784 m (2,572 ft) it covers an area of about 4.43 km2 (1.7 sq mi) with an average depth of about 8.6 m (28 ft) with maximum water depth is 19 m (62 ft). Maximum water capacity of the lake is approximately 46 million cubic meters (37,000 acre feet) [1]. Annapurna looms in the distance from the lake and the lake is famous for the reflection of Mount Machapuchare on its surface. The holy Barahi mandir (temple) is situated on the island located in between in the lake.</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://nepaliwonder.blogspot.com/feeds/4427396974226080337/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://nepaliwonder.blogspot.com/2009/10/phewa-taal.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6605453933660207935/posts/default/4427396974226080337'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6605453933660207935/posts/default/4427396974226080337'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://nepaliwonder.blogspot.com/2009/10/phewa-taal.html' title='Phewa Taal'/><author><name>Unknown</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4IpZBCwect6lqku3gAUhvaM6Ab18kfBL2EDaJQcL0jjqegHjshsWx6We7_FNgOKgNn_hgKgSQ8vxq8dQK-6CA2AXeZ6oILVVGYGVl4PwqoxFsG8IomZCAmTofQvGgpDBmE9eCIWxKy-01/s72-c/Phewa+Lake.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6605453933660207935.post-212643588101346416</id><published>2009-10-17T04:01:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-11-06T10:06:43.555-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Tsho Rolpa Lake</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhO1X0Bq7lcJOxcgdZx6fpnVEQSYb0rfMQ19dC0FZm2LK_9b69Gj4eFCVPmy428anN69zxi0_ShlzTrsZdYByZhCn_VdGXk0xd-6TT0WGlKfqbH5YXtzvUmz-sN5X-t-XleeHMf6-lhHbbh/s1600-h/Tsho+Rolpa+Lake.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;150&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhO1X0Bq7lcJOxcgdZx6fpnVEQSYb0rfMQ19dC0FZm2LK_9b69Gj4eFCVPmy428anN69zxi0_ShlzTrsZdYByZhCn_VdGXk0xd-6TT0WGlKfqbH5YXtzvUmz-sN5X-t-XleeHMf6-lhHbbh/s200/Tsho+Rolpa+Lake.jpg&quot; width=&quot;200&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Tsho Rolpa lake is at 4,600 meters (15,092 feet). Tsho Rolpa Lake is formed by a glacial moraine that partially blocks the flow of meltwater from the glacier. Due to global warming, there is more meltwater these days than there used to be. Glacial moraines, &quot;constructed&quot; naturally from rubble and glacial till, don&#39;t make very strong dams. The danger is that the moraine dam will burst in a Glacial Lake Outburst Flood (GLOF) and inundate the villages downstream in the valley.</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://nepaliwonder.blogspot.com/feeds/212643588101346416/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://nepaliwonder.blogspot.com/2009/10/tsho-rolpa-lake.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6605453933660207935/posts/default/212643588101346416'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6605453933660207935/posts/default/212643588101346416'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://nepaliwonder.blogspot.com/2009/10/tsho-rolpa-lake.html' title='Tsho Rolpa Lake'/><author><name>Unknown</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhO1X0Bq7lcJOxcgdZx6fpnVEQSYb0rfMQ19dC0FZm2LK_9b69Gj4eFCVPmy428anN69zxi0_ShlzTrsZdYByZhCn_VdGXk0xd-6TT0WGlKfqbH5YXtzvUmz-sN5X-t-XleeHMf6-lhHbbh/s72-c/Tsho+Rolpa+Lake.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6605453933660207935.post-4766718905047023332</id><published>2009-10-17T03:56:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-11-06T10:06:43.564-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Kali Gandaki River</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1QArVcVrmsyBDaoh2-CDB4tbHumweJ5THBs24hmkOwi3jQ9kVDPg_PVJC4FbiOsOkVSdNm0mSeF9YSo2FIn4GglMjteV9qYPR8u5KHuf6-o9qzumEcg7oqW9mc0PVgV2Ocn_mO1XeW4-P/s1600-h/Kali+Gandaki+River.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;150&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1QArVcVrmsyBDaoh2-CDB4tbHumweJ5THBs24hmkOwi3jQ9kVDPg_PVJC4FbiOsOkVSdNm0mSeF9YSo2FIn4GglMjteV9qYPR8u5KHuf6-o9qzumEcg7oqW9mc0PVgV2Ocn_mO1XeW4-P/s200/Kali+Gandaki+River.jpg&quot; width=&quot;200&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;The river is called Sapta Gandaki for its seven tributaries rising in the Himalaya or to the north along the main Ganges-Brahmaputra divide. These are called Daraudi, Seti, Madi, Kali, Marsyandi, Budhi and Trisuli. The Kali Gandaki rises along the. border with Tibet at an altitude of 3,900 m (12,795 ft) in the Mustang region of Nepal. The two headwaters Nup Chhu and Shar Chhu (&quot;West River&quot; and &quot;East River&quot;) meet near Mustang&#39;s ancient captial Lo Manthang. The river then flows southwest with the name of Mustang Khola. In Kagbeni a major tributary Kak Khola descends from Muktinath and from this point the river is called the Kali Gandaki. The river then flows southward through a steep gorge known as the Kali Gandaki Gorge, or Andha Galchi, between the mountains Dhaulagiri (8167 m) to the west and Annapurna (8091 m) to the east. If one measures the depth of a canyon by the difference between the river height and the heights of the highest peaks on either side, the Gorge is the world&#39;s deepest. The portion of the river between the Dhaulagiri and Annapurna massifs is at an elevation of between 1300 metres and 2600 metres, 5500 to 6800 metres lower than the two peaks. The river is older than the Himalayas. As tectonic activity forces the mountains higher, the river has cut through the uplift.</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://nepaliwonder.blogspot.com/feeds/4766718905047023332/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://nepaliwonder.blogspot.com/2009/10/kali-gandaki-river.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6605453933660207935/posts/default/4766718905047023332'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6605453933660207935/posts/default/4766718905047023332'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://nepaliwonder.blogspot.com/2009/10/kali-gandaki-river.html' title='Kali Gandaki River'/><author><name>Unknown</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1QArVcVrmsyBDaoh2-CDB4tbHumweJ5THBs24hmkOwi3jQ9kVDPg_PVJC4FbiOsOkVSdNm0mSeF9YSo2FIn4GglMjteV9qYPR8u5KHuf6-o9qzumEcg7oqW9mc0PVgV2Ocn_mO1XeW4-P/s72-c/Kali+Gandaki+River.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6605453933660207935.post-3016744591223222473</id><published>2009-10-17T03:52:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-11-06T10:06:43.570-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Dhaulagiri Mountain</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhW7lRcuw1lwX7s4nPDcKCjcqaYgP3s-7bJzpvwoN63VqXu3YedXO72D2ZIy2Tu2QynouUeTfEThymL3o84njqLKU8VA9pIOuXI4_2wHCdrVq8HaiExYOdwHVYu_Q1IEM01Iz6Z11PG3Z8u/s1600-h/Dhaulagiri.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;200&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhW7lRcuw1lwX7s4nPDcKCjcqaYgP3s-7bJzpvwoN63VqXu3YedXO72D2ZIy2Tu2QynouUeTfEThymL3o84njqLKU8VA9pIOuXI4_2wHCdrVq8HaiExYOdwHVYu_Q1IEM01Iz6Z11PG3Z8u/s200/Dhaulagiri.jpg&quot; width=&quot;130&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Dhaulagiri (धौलागिरी) is the seventh highest mountain in the world.

It lies northwest of Pokhara, an important regional town and tourist center. Across the deep gorge of the Kali Gandaki to the east lies the Annapurna Himal, home to Annapurna I, one of the other eight-thousanders. Dhaulagiri means &quot;White Mountain&quot;.</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://nepaliwonder.blogspot.com/feeds/3016744591223222473/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://nepaliwonder.blogspot.com/2009/10/dhaulagiri-mountain.html#comment-form' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6605453933660207935/posts/default/3016744591223222473'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6605453933660207935/posts/default/3016744591223222473'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://nepaliwonder.blogspot.com/2009/10/dhaulagiri-mountain.html' title='Dhaulagiri Mountain'/><author><name>Unknown</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhW7lRcuw1lwX7s4nPDcKCjcqaYgP3s-7bJzpvwoN63VqXu3YedXO72D2ZIy2Tu2QynouUeTfEThymL3o84njqLKU8VA9pIOuXI4_2wHCdrVq8HaiExYOdwHVYu_Q1IEM01Iz6Z11PG3Z8u/s72-c/Dhaulagiri.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6605453933660207935.post-2587754570018242015</id><published>2009-10-17T03:49:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-11-06T10:06:43.576-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Chamero Cave</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivjalIrK6X_4GngzmXN27teQYD8pDbyF0c6LpJX-IyOy4seTr50bwQ8fMx1ociHRHvfoC53r9ESi06AC4xLKQsKQMNl-zUORFfAFe_fwuTXx5ohYoGZS6ShrWPDMfStfxu36zjnFns-8Mt/s1600-h/Bat+Cave.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;138&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivjalIrK6X_4GngzmXN27teQYD8pDbyF0c6LpJX-IyOy4seTr50bwQ8fMx1ociHRHvfoC53r9ESi06AC4xLKQsKQMNl-zUORFfAFe_fwuTXx5ohYoGZS6ShrWPDMfStfxu36zjnFns-8Mt/s200/Bat+Cave.jpg&quot; width=&quot;200&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;This cave is located a little far form the Mahendra cave in the west .This cave was also discovered by the owner of the land – a farmer in the year 2040.Though the entrance is quite narrow but the inner part of the cave is wide enough.

Manaslu is derived from the Sanskrit word Manasa and is translated as &quot;Mountain of the Spirit&quot;. Manaslu is the highest peak in the Lamjung district and is located about forty miles east of Annapurna, the world&#39;s tenth highest mountain. The mountain&#39;s long ridges and valley glaciers offer feasible approaches from all directions, and culminate in a peak that towers steeply above its surrounding landscape, and is a dominant feature when viewed from afar. Manaslu was first climbed on May 9, 1956 by Toshio Imanishi and Gyalzen Norbu, members of a Japanese expedition.</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://nepaliwonder.blogspot.com/feeds/582159729293943291/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://nepaliwonder.blogspot.com/2009/10/manaslu-mountain.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6605453933660207935/posts/default/582159729293943291'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6605453933660207935/posts/default/582159729293943291'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://nepaliwonder.blogspot.com/2009/10/manaslu-mountain.html' title='Manaslu Mountain'/><author><name>Unknown</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiW-5GLMQBB6X9P7P4fLPFWdsyuKFOiDa16Q_YyhQh03qIhJvVHSW5kmt_4eaKPc7xGNQnDa01MjllGrf6_Msa9d4tqZ83-WWqAd_cp0RdaK2tAlJQCPv18lP8OyKUoCIMwTX-w9a7jpvo0/s72-c/Manaslu.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
