Approaching Lho again so time for more images of Manaslu. It is a mountain that attracts cloud though!

Looking upwards at Lho to the Taninga Danda, a ridge leading eventually (and well out of sight) to Ngadi Chuli at 7871m

I think this is part of the ridge leading up to Shringi Himal, with the pointy bit at around 5100m. Taken at Lho looking back down the valley.

Lho is quite a bustling village with lots of places to stay springing up.

It's taken a while but we get our first glimpse of Manaslu at Sho. Manaslu (8163m) is far left, with Naike Peak (6211m) on the right. Manaslu North (7157m) is in the centre.

Classic view, but the cloud has already started to form. Shame we didn't camp here.
