==Features== Lying south-southeast of Manaslu and Ngadi Chuli, Himalchuli is the second-highest and southernmost of the three mountains that form the heart of the Mansiri Himal. It is a complex massif with a vast horizontal sprawl, connected to shorter satellite peaks such as Baudha () by numerous steep, winding ridges. A central plateau situated entirely above an elevation of 7000 metres is ringed by its three main peaks: East (), West () and North (). The main pyramid of the East summit is considered the eighteenth highest independent mountain on earth.
