Chongkor

First, you will need to look for a sign directing you towards the Gangapurna lake to the south of Manang. The trail for both the viewpoint and the lake is the same so you needn't worry much. After you reach the Gangapurna lake continue walking along the trail towards the south. After about 250 meters climb you will finally reach Chongkor viewpoint and you will realize why it is so talked about. The views are amazing! All the beautiful mountains will be right before your eyes posing for you. The Chulu range, Tilicho Himal, Pisang peak, Annapurna II, IV and Gangapurna mountain will all be present to cheer you up unless the enemies are around. The clouds get a lot of boos now and then. Light snacks or just some snicker bars will do for this trip. This side trip isn't challenging but make sure to watch your steps. Altitude: 3745m/ 12286 ft Lunch pack: no need
