Pukhgundi: Difference between revisions

The Pukhgundi features a large coastal, fertile Terai lowlands, stretching along the Ritsa Coast and extending inland. This region serves as the country's agricultural heartland, supporting a variety of crops like rice, jute, and potatoes. The southwestern region is dominated by the majestic Machhapuchhre mountain range, with elevations reaching up to 6,993 meters (22,943 ft). This area experiences a highland climate, with cooler temperatures and unique flora and fauna. The northwestern region is characterized by a distinctive t-shaped Muhktinath peninsula jutting into the [[Aab-e-Farus]]. The western arm of this peninsula forms the Bay of Kimanu, while the eastern arm creates the Bay of Bargar. The Strait of Kipe separates the peninsula from the island of Kanchenjunga to the north. Pukhgundi's coastline is dotted with several islands. To the west, the major islands are Sagarmatha, Ama Dablam, Lhotse, Makalu, and Cho Oyu. To the north, in the Bay of Bargar, the notable islands are Kanchenjunga, Manaslu, Dhaulagiri, Annapurna, and Himchuli.
