The Manang town is on the broad Marshyangdi River valley. This river flows eastwards. On the north lies the Chulu East peak of 6,584 m (21,601 ft), and to the west is the Thorong La Pass,  5,416 m (17,769 ft).  From Manang, you can enjoy stunning views of Gangapurna, Annapurna III, and other now-capped giants. Its high-altitude location contributes to a unique landscape characterized by rugged terrain, alpine meadows, and glacial lakes. Manang now has motorable roads, along with the traditional trails used for transporting goods via jeep, mule trains, or porters in the past. There is an airport in this town - Manang Airport, constructed in 1981. This airport lies at an elevation of 11,000 feet (3,353 m) and is among one of the highest airports in the world. The trail connecting Manang to the Annapurna Conservation Area was completed in 2011, bringing numerous benefits to the local villagers and the surrounding area.
