Glaciers of Nepal

Nepal has about 3,252 glaciers covering roughly 5,323 km², but only 11 are individually named on Wikipedia's list — mostly in the Khumbu (Everest) region, plus one each in Langtang and near Manaslu.

On this list: the source table only gave a province for 3 of these 11 glaciers. The rest are well-known Khumbu-region glaciers filled in with confidence, except Nupchu Glacier, whose location isn't settled enough to state here.
