Himalchuli (7893m)

Himalchuli is a large mountain that includes the main peak of 7893m, a west peak of 7540m, a north peak of 7371m, and many subsidiary peaks. From the west side its form is truly striking. On the other hand, the east side, partiuclarly that aspect that can be seen form the base camp, loses all sharpness and becomes a simple round peak.
