Varaha Shikhar, better known internationally as Annapurna Fang, is a mountain in the Annapurna Himal of Nepal. The peak is also known as Baraha Shikhar, Bharhā Chuli̇̄, and Fang.
Features
Varaha Shikhar is a summit in the Annapurna Himal of the Nepalese Himalayas, situated north-northwest of Pokhara in Gandaki Province. It is the westernmost summit on the main ridge of the range, seated on the Southwest Ridge of Annapurna.While it is the third-highest named summit of the Annapurna massif and of the Annapurna Conservation Area, its modest prominence and omission from the numbered summits in the Annapurna range mean it is much more obscure than other peaks.
Precipitation runoff from the mountain's west slope drains to the Kali Gandaki, whereas the east slope drains into headwaters of the Modi River.
Although there are some mountain walls of comparable size with a steeper topographic relief in less distance, its Southwest Face has perhaps the greatest vertical rise from its base of any such face in the world: It rises 4,450 metres above the Kali Gandaki gorge in only.
