With an elevation of 7,871 metres above sea level, it is the 20th-highest mountain on Earth. Flanked by Manaslu to the north and Himalchuli to the southeast, Ngadi Chuli is the middlemost and third-highest mountain of the massif. Though shorter and somewhat rounder than its immediate neighbors when viewed from the more common eastern approaches, it is difficult to access due to snow danger and being flanked by active glaciers in all directions. The steep western side, recessed behind outlying peaks and glacial valleys, rises over 3,200 metres above the Thulagi glacier. It is crowned by a steep, technical rock headwall with five summits across its length; only the highest of these is named.
