Manang, Administrative district in Gandaki Province, Nepal

Located at an elevation of 3,519 meters, Manang District spans 2,246 square kilometers in the Marshyangdi River valley, bordered by the Annapurna mountain range.

The district developed essential trading routes over centuries, enabling merchants to transport sheep, yaks, precious stones, metals, and herbs between regions of Nepal and Tibet.

The population of 6,527 residents includes Gurung, Tamang, and Ghale ethnic groups, with Buddhism practiced by 55 percent and Hinduism by 39 percent of inhabitants.

The district maintains a medical center specializing in high-altitude health services, providing care for both residents and visitors traversing the mountainous terrain.

The region receives minimal rainfall and snow due to its position north of the Himalayas, which blocks monsoon winds and creates particularly dry conditions.
