The short answer
Around Manang and the Annapurna Circuit are Pisang Peak (about 6,091 m), Chulu West (about 6,419 m) and Chulu East (about 6,584 m), plus Tilicho-area objectives. Further south and near Pokhara are Singu Chuli (about 6,501 m), Tharpu Chuli or Tent Peak (about 5,663 m), Hiunchuli (about 6,441 m) and Dhampus Peak (about 6,012 m) above the Dhaulagiri region.
Pisang is a classic first six-thousander for the fit. The Chulus are higher and need more experience. Tent Peak and Singu Chuli sit above the Annapurna Sanctuary.
