Mancho

Mancho, Mountain summit in Blagoevgrad Province, Bulgaria

Mancho is a granite summit in the eastern part of the Rila range, reaching 2,771 m. It is bifurcated: the higher section lies to the southwest, the lower to the northeast. Its western, northern and eastern slopes are steep and hard to access, and the northwestern slope forms the walls of the Maritsa cirque.

Mancho is a granite summit in the eastern Maritsa section of Rila, rising to 2,771 m northeast of Marishki Chal (2,765 m). Its name was changed from Manchu to Mancho on 29 June 1942. In 1938 the summit appeared in a letter from the hunting organisation's board to the Committee for the Protection of Native Nature, which warned that hut construction and unregulated tourism were harming wild goats and proposed restricting tourism at specific sites, Mancho among them.

The saddle between Mancho and its neighbours is called a "prozorets" (window), because it frames views of the Maritsa cirque and the surrounding peaks of the Marishki section. A street in Sofia's Moderno Predgradie quarter is named after the summit. The peak was renamed from Manchu to Mancho on 29 June 1942.

Experienced mountaineers can reach the summit via marked trails from Blagoevgrad, though winter ascents require extra gear and careful planning. The best climbing season is summer through early autumn, when snow has melted and conditions are more stable.
