A better photo is needed

The English translation has this as "The Fish's Tail" (e.g., Noyce's book). The page needs a profile photo (many exist such profile photos exist in books like Annapurna: South Face) with the view which looks like a fish's tail. 143.232.210.38 (talk) 18:14, 29 June 2012 (UTC)

Spelling and Pronounciation

i suppose we can rely on the spelling in ne:wikipedia which is "माछापुच्छ्रे" and transliterates as "maachhaapuchchhre". this reflects the only pronounciation i ever encountered while living in pokhara for 2 1/2 years, without an "a" before the short "re" at the end. it is only in books that i read of the pronounciation "are". the spelling would then have to be quite different in nepali. perhaps a native speaker could comment on that.Sundar1 (talk) 09:37, 28 August 2013 (UTC)

> I am offering a correction to the last sentence. It has been climbed. Possibly not to it’s tallest peak, but it has been ascended to 10,000 feet. I know because I was one of the field biologists who was on the team to document early morning calling behavior of various species of Tragopans back in 1986, with the British Pheasant Association.
