Manirang is one of the highest mountains in the Indian state Himachal Pradesh. It lies on the border between Kinnaur district and Lahaul and Spiti district. Close to the peak is the high Manirang pass, which was one of the early trade routes between Spiti and Kinnaur, before the motorable road was built. The trail over the pass starts from Mane Yogma on the Spiti side and runs to the Ropa valley in Kinnaur.{{Cite book |last=Kapadia |first=H. |title=Spiti: Adventures in the Trans-Himalaya |publisher=Indus Publishing Company |year=1999 |isbn=81-7387-093-4 |edition=2nd |location=New Delhi}}
