Another digitised slide taken during my solo trek to Annapurna base camp in 1980. Being a holy mountain, it has never been climbed.

Mt. Fishtail (Mt. Machhapuchchhre in Nepali) glowing in red and orange at the time of sunset. This picture was taken from Machhapuchchhre Base Camp. This is a part of very famous Annapurna Base Camp Trek or simply A.B.C. Trek of Nepal.
The strange characteristic of the tree is that it flowers only once during the total course of its existence and it continues in flowers for several years. The first branch of the flowers appears at the top of the `Fish Tail Palm` tree and it is very long. The branch hangs straight down the trunk. When the first branch finishes flowering, the others issue from the axils of lower leaves or the former leaves. They issue until there is a wide level-ended "horse`s tail" of branches. Until the very last one of the flower sheaths appears at the foot of the trunk, this downward development of flower sheaths continues. The fruits of the tree are reddish in colour and they develop from the flowers. They also hang down in a thick "tail".The pulp of this tree is acidic and does sting the hands if you touch them.
Was probably one of the most beautiful days in Pokhara for the entire year ... and I was happy I was there to capture the day

Machapuchare (auch Machhapuchhare, Machhapuchchhre, Nepali Māchhāpuchchhre Himāl, auf deutsch „Fischschwanz“) ist ein 6997 m hoher Berg im Himalaya in Nepal.
Machapuchare, Machhapuchchhre or Machhapuchhre (from Nepali माछापुच्छ्रे, meaning 'fishtail'), is a mountain in the Annapurna Himalayas of north central Nepal. It is revered by the local population as particularly sacred to the god Shiva, and hence is off limits to climbing.
Cette montagne est sacrée pour les népalais. Aucun homme n'en a tenté l'ascension. Elle culmine a 6 983 mètres et doit son nom à la forme particulière de son sommet.
This 6.997m mountain is part of the Annapurna Himal.
When it comes to shape and symmetry this mountain is definitely the most beautiful one for me.
Another interesting fact about this mountain is, that it has officially never been climbed.

The Annapurna Sanctuary is “high glacial basin lying forty kilometers directly north of Pokhara. This oval-shaped plateau sits at an altitude of over 4000 meters, and is surrounded by a ring of mountains, the Annapurna range, most of which are over 7000 meters. With the only entrance a narrow pass between the peaks of Hiunchuli and Machapuchare, where run-off from glaciers drain into Modi Khola River, the Sanctuary was not penetrated by outsiders until 1956. Because of high mountains on all sides, the Annapurna Sanctuary receives only 7 hours of sunlight a day at the height of summer.
The unique combination of heights and depths in the Annapurna Sanctuary give rise to an extraordinary variety of ecosystems. The south-facing slope are “covered in dense tropical jungles of rhododendron and bamboo”, while the north-facing slopes, in the rain shadow, have “a drier colder climate similar to that of the near-by Tibetan Plateau.
The entire sanctuary was held as sacred to the Gurung people, one of the many native people to inhabit the area. They believed it was the repository of gold and various treasures left by the Nāgas, the serpent-gods known in India. The sanctuary was believed to be the home of several deities, from Hinduism and Buddhism as well the older animistic gods. The peak of Machapuchare at the entrance was believed to be the home of the god Shiva, and the daily plumes of snow were thought the smoke of his divine incense. Until recently, the local Gurang people forbade anyone from bringing eggs or meat into the Annapurna Sanctuary, and women and untouchables were prohibited from going there as well.
In recent years, the number of trekkers to the Sanctuary has increased substantially, in part because the Sanctuary forms the base of one of the major routes to the peaks of the Annapurna range. The Annapurna Sanctuary is now part of the Annapurna Conservation Area Project, which places restrictions on number of outside travelers, gathering of firewood, and domestic animal grazing.

Sunrise on the uniquely-shaped Mount Machhapuchchhre (a.k.a. the FishTail). Captured from Poon Hill (3,210 m) during the Annapurna Sanctuary Trek. Nepal.
Machhapuchhare (Fishtail)
This sacred, picturesque mountain rises 6,993m above sea level & is closed to climbers.
Rising nearly 7000m into the clear blue sky above Nepal’s rugged Annapurna mountain range, Machapuchare is arguably the most untouched place on Earth. Believed to be one of the homes of the Hindu god Shiva, its isolated summit sits alone in the sky – unclimbable and untouched. Officially, Machapuchare has never been summited, making its ethereal heights one of the least-visited places on Earth.

Machapuchare, Machhapuchchhre or Machhapuchhre is a mountain situated in the Annapurna massif of Gandaki Pradesh, north-central Nepal. Its highest peak has never been officially climbed due to the impossibility of gaining a permit from the government of Nepal. The Fishtail peak in colour.

Fishtail Palm, is a species of palm native to Tropical Asia from India to Java to southern China, now sparingly naturalized in southern Florida and in parts of Africa and Latin America.
Each leaf is made of many pairs of leaflets shaped like tail fins that give this palm its name.

The province of Nan is located in the north of Thailand and borders Laos. It is one of the lesser known provinces of Thailand, but is known for its natural beauty, rich culture and ancient history. It's a great place to visit if you're looking for adventure and relaxation in nature. Road 1256 passes through the mountains of Nan and offers breathtaking views of the surrounding nature. Almost the most beautiful road in Thailand, the view on the side of the road is very beautiful, if you go during the rainy season, the atmosphere will be very good. You can see the green along the two sides of the road on the ridge. In some parts you can see the beautiful view of rice fields over the hills. It may be overgrown on some parts of the road. There are several interesting sights and activities to enjoy along the way. It's great for bird watching, camping, and hiking, and you're unlikely to meet many other people while exploring. You can also visit the Doi Phu Kha National Park, which is known for its beautiful waterfalls, lush forests and spectacular views. Wonderfully cool weather all year round. In addition, there are also several hill tribe villages along the way, where you have the chance to experience the local culture and traditions.
Thailand is home to several beautiful national parks that showcase the country's diverse natural beauty. The Doi Phu Kha National Park is located near the border between Thailand and Laos. The National Park is also home to the highest mountain peak in the province. The highest point is also called Doi Phu Kha at an altitude of 1,920 meters. If you are traveling to Doi Phu Kha National Park from Nan, I will definitely recommend staying here for a night. Most of the year the weather is nice and the view is stunning early in the morning. A moderate intensity nature trail with a large map detailing the route starts behind the National Park Visitor Center and continues for 2km, ending at a small village. The most beautiful is the viewpoint with a very large 1715 digits representing the height of the point. It takes about 2 hours to complete. However, there is definitely some climbing to do. Please wear trekking boots for the hike. The monsoon is not the best time to do this as there are many leeches and other reptiles that you may not appreciate. The giant fishtail palm is a flowering plant and is native to Laos and Thailand. It can reach 20 meters or more in height and is therefore considered a tree. It is monocarpic, meaning it blooms once' after 10 years and then dies. The inflorescence can reach 6 meters or more.
De provincie Nan is gelegen in het noorden van Thailand en grenst aan Laos. Het is één van de minder bekende provincies van Thailand, maar staat bekend om zijn natuurlijke schoonheid, rijke cultuur en oude geschiedenis. Het is een geweldige plek om te bezoeken als je op zoek bent naar avontuur en ontspanning in de natuur. De weg 1256 loopt door de bergen van Nan en biedt een adembenemend uitzicht op de omliggende natuur. Bijna de mooiste weg in Thailand, het uitzicht aan de kant van de weg is erg mooi, als je tijdens het regenseizoen gaat, zal de sfeer erg goed zijn. Je ziet het groen langs de twee kanten van de weg op de bergkam. Op sommige delen zie je het prachtige uitzicht op rijstvelden over de heuvels. Het kan op sommige delen van de weg overwoekerd zijn. Onderweg zijn er verschillende interessante bezienswaardigheden en activiteiten om van te genieten. Het is geweldig om vogels te spotten, te kamperen en te wandelen, en het is onwaarschijnlijk dat je veel andere mensen tegenkomt tijdens het verkennen. Je kunt ook een bezoek brengen aan de Doi Phu Kha National Park, dat bekend staat om zijn prachtige watervallen, weelderige bossen en spectaculaire uitzichten. Heerlijk koel weer het hele jaar door. Daarnaast zijn er ook verschillende bergstammen-dorpen langs de weg, waar je de kans hebt om de lokale cultuur en tradities te ervaren. Het Nationaal Park is ook de thuisbasis van, de hoogste bergtop in de provincie. Het hoogste punt wordt ook wel Doi Phu Kha genoemd op een hoogte van 1.920 meter. Als je vanuit Nan naar Doi Phu Kha National Park reist, zal ik je zeker aanraden om hier een nacht te blijven. Het grootste deel van het jaar is het mooi weer en het uitzicht is verbluffend vroeg in de ochtend. Een natuurpad van matige intensiteit met een grote kaart met de details van de route begint achter het bezoekerscentrum van het Nationaal park en gaat 2 km lang door en eindigt bij een klein dorp. De giant fishtail palm is een bloeiende plant en komt voor in Laos en Thailand. Hij kan 20 meter of meer hoog worden en wordt daarom als een boom beschouwd. Het is monocarpisch, wat betekent dat het één keer 'na 10 jaar bloeit en dan sterft. De bloeiwijze kan 6 meter of langer worden.
