Throung peak (5555 m / 18225 ft)
This mountain is the shortest
possibility to gain a 6000 m-peak while doing
the famous trekking around Annapurna. The
highest point of this Trekking is Thorong La
(pass), 5416 m. From this pass it is the first
mountain to the south.
There are no detailed maps available about this
area of Nepal (correct me if I'm wrong). The
maps you can buy contain south of the pass only
a mountain called Khatung Kang (6488 m). But
this is not the mountain you can see and climb
from Thorong La, but the one behind it. Because
of that these mountains often are mixed up. At
least in Germany the mountain is called Thorong
Ri.
