Naimona’nyi is the highest peak of the Nalakankar Himal, a small subrange of the Himalaya range. It lies in Burang Country of Ngari Prefecture in Tibet Autonomous Region of China and near the northwest corner of Nepal. Naimona’nyi is called “the Mountain of Goddess” in Tibetan language. It faces the crystal-clear and snow-capped Mount Kailash in the north and across the pure Lake Manasarovar and demon Lake Rakshastal. The best time to visit there is from May to late June.
The ridge in the east has been corroded into a blade-shape ridge, forming nearly 2,000 meters elevation difference of cliffs. But the western slope is relatively gentle.
Naimona’nyi owns the largest glaciers group in the Himalayas. Five huge glaciers pour down in the canyon, among which are ice steeps full of cracks, looking like several fairy-tale palace.
