That's really pretty, but Unknown Peak is a dumb name for a mountain

XD

Is it in Khumbu Valley? I am not sure at all but is that Everest in backdrop

I don't know, i took it on the way to Annapurna base camp, but i never asked the name of the valley.

Edit: i'm 99.9% sure it isn't Everest, though.

Nope thats not Khumbu then. Annapurna I is further south like an enclave. Everest on rare summer days can be very clear and look similar to this.

The mountain in the back is called Machapuchare. The peaks in the front aren't probably considered their own mountains at all. Could be that they aren't really peaks either, but start of a ridge.

Not sure if the valley has a name, but the river at the bottom is called Modi.

I could be wrong but that looks like Taboche Peak.

I would imagine somebody knows about it.

The one in the back is definitely Machhapuchhare

Is it worse than Unnecessary Mountain?

Annapurna Fang ?

If u took it on ABC trek, them there is no way its Everest. Its way to far

A lot of the peaks don't have names, just numbers denominatios based on their height and that's it. (E.g. 'Point 5353')

There are too many peaks to name them all!

It turned out to be an issue in 1999 when India and Pakistan fought a war there and most of the landmarks that India had to recapture did not even have names. (Some were given names during the war).

Annapurna III?

I know that north of the ice ridge leading up to everast from the west is what appears to be a plain surrounded on all sides by cliffs. It has at its centre a collection of giant frozen temple spires reminicent of Ankor Wat under the ice that is now melting away thanks to global warming.

Lol I thought I recognise these mountains, this has to be Machapuchhare in the background.

The front one isn't even a peak, the angle is just so steep that it looks like a peak. Its a rising ridge line that keeps climbing until it meets the western face of Machapuchhare.

Annapurna Himal is like 250km further to the west from Everest

I've always loved that about the Himalayas, that there are so many that we can't even name them all and that some of the tallest are so high that no one ever knew they were there

Fantastic capture

Where snow?

Are you sure? The translation is Fishtail Mountain, and I do not see the classic fish tail shape.

Hello! May I ask if you’re able to resize this image that would fit my iPhone screen? (With your permission of course).

Something about this photo you took, have made it one of my life’s goal to visit and see them with my own eyes :)

Cheers!

Hmmm, if i resize it to fit fully vertically, i'd have to cut off the edges left and right and it wouldn't look the same. I can do it if you want though.

Edit: glad to have inspired you, that means a lot to me. It's definitely worth visiting Nepal, amazing experience. If you decide to go, hit me up in pm's, i'll give you some more info.

Also, which iphone model do you have?

Thank you, much appreciated!

Is no a lot.

>Machapuchare

This should be around the place the picture was taken.

Sad! Still a fantastic shot.

Thank you :)

This is actually Tittietwister Peak, located just about a mile south of Machhapuchhare. Beautiful place

OMG this is stunninnggggg!!!! 👌❤️

Great shot, OP! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Thank you, much appreciated!
