One can see the valley leading to them. Here is lokated the town of simikot, from where trekking tours to kailash can start. A litle bit below the center you can see Rara lake. north east from it is the kanjiroba himal.

On the right side of the picture you clearly can see the Kali gandaki valley with on the west side the whole Daulagiri range looking like a big cowboy boot.
