We are trekking up Mt. Machhapuchchhre, aka "Mt. Fishtail", named for it's distinctive two-pronged twisted peak which you can see in the middle here. It's so distinctive I managed to spot it from directly overhead, when flying back home over the Himalayas, amongst 28 other peaks over 6,500m tall.. and many other smaller ones of course!
The peak itself is declared sacred - off-limits to climbers, and never summited.
We trekked to the 4500m "Base Camp" - which is denoted by a rusted sign and a sort-of 'hut' comprising three waist-height brick walls.
It was a gorgeous & peaceful trek, and I can see why this mountain is so beloved by locals. :)

Fishtail Peak ~ Machapuchare ~ माछापुच्छ्रे ~ a mountain in the Annapurna Himal of north central Nepal ~ Seen from Pokhara, Nepal
Machhapuchchhre ('fishtail'), is a mountain situated in the Annapurna massif of Gandaki Province, north-central Nepal. Its highest peak has never been officially climbed due to the impossibility of gaining a permit from the government of Nepal.
Due to its southern position in the range and the particularly low terrain that lies south of the Annapurna Himalayas, which contains three of the 10 highest peaks in the world, Machapuchare commands tremendous vertical relief in a short horizontal distance. This, combined with its steep, pointed profile, makes it a particularly striking peak, despite a lower elevation than some of its neighbors. Its double summit resembles the tail of a fish, hence the name meaning "fish's tail" in Nepalese. It is also nicknamed the "Matterhorn of Nepal".
It is a sacred peak for the Gurungs and the people of Chomrong.

Machapuchare (Fishtail) in the Annapurna Range is off-limits to climbers and has never been summited. At 6,993 m (22,943 ft), it is not the tallest mountain in the range, but it is surely the most spectacular.

My new favorite braid to do with my dreads because it actually stays in! It's a fishtail braid which has always been one of my favorite braids anyway.
