Mt Manaslu Expedition-35 Days

Trip Overview

Conquer Mt. Manaslu – A Journey to the Eighth-Highest Peak on Earth

Embark on an exhilarating expedition to Mt. Manaslu, the world’s eighth-highest summit, rising to a majestic height of 8,163 meters (26,781 feet). Nestled in the Mansiri Himal range of west-central Nepal, the mountain’s name translates to “Mountain of the Spirit,” rooted in the Sanskrit word Manasa, signifying “soul” or “wisdom.”

Climbers must establish four separate camps during the ascent. Between Camp I and Camp II, the route demands navigating steep inclines and avoiding hidden crevasses. The stretch from Camp II to Camp III challenges adventurers with icy, slick terrain. From Camp III to Camp IV, avalanches present a significant hazard.

Mt. Manaslu was first successfully climbed by a Japanese expedition in 1953, and ever since, it has been closely associated with Japanese mountaineering heritage.
