Discover the journey
Manaslu (8163m) is the eighth highest mountain in the world & is located in Gorkha district, west-central part of Nepal. The name Manaslu means ‘Mountain of the Spirit’, which means ‘intellect’ or ‘soul’. It was first climbed on May 9, 1956 by Japanese expedition, so it is called Japanese Mountain. The Manaslu mountain’s long ridges and valley glaciers offer feasible approaches from all directions and culminate in a peak that towers steeply above its surrounding landscape and is a dominant feature when viewed from afar. Manaslu is a serrated ‘wall of snow & ice hanging in the sky’, the three sides of the mountain fall in steps to terraces down below. Apart from climbing, trekking is popular in this mountain region. As it is popularly known among trekkers, it provides views of the snow-covered mountains of the Himalayas & allows close interaction with the different ethnic groups. Climbing Manaslu is more challenging and technically difficult mountain, so it is called 4th most dangerous 8000m peak in the world. Manaslu expedition starts from the Sana gaun. For climbing, generally four camps are set up above the Manaslu Base Camp (4750m). Camp I at 5700m, Camp II at 6400m, Camp III at 6800m, Camp IV at 7400m.
