Paungda Danda is a Himalayan mountain located in Manang District, Western Region, Nepal.
Paungda Danda is notable for its western rock face that rises dramatically 1,700 m (5,600 ft) above the Marshyangdi River.
[1] The mountain's smooth western face, also known as the Great Wall of Pisang, is composed of slate rock and formed as a result of an ancient lakebed being uplifted during the creation of the Himalayas.
[2] Today, the mountain is a recognizable feature along the Annapurna Circuit, a popular trekking route.
The local people believe that the spirits of the deceased must ascend the wall after leaving their bodies to reach the heavens.
