This majestic peak in the Himalayas is called Machapuchare, also known as â€œFish Tail Mountain.â€ At 22,943 feet itâ€™s considerably less tall than Mt. Everest, but this mountain is definitely in illustrious companyâ€“legendary peaks such as Annapurna (which actually has three summits) and Manaslu, both in the â€œ8,000-meter club,â€ are not far away. Fish Tail Mountain is a sacred peak in the Hindu religion, associated with the god Shiva. Lord Shiva is supposed to live on the peak, which evidently gets is name from the shape of the summit seen from a certain angle.
