Mt. Manaslu, the eighth-highest mountain in the world, is situated in the ridges of the Mansiri Himal in the Gorkha District of Nepal. It is set at a height of 8,163m (26,781 ft) above sea level. Mt. Manaslu, known as the “mountain of the spirit” in Tibet, is actually Mt. Kutung. It is located 64 kilometers (km) east of Mount Annapurna.
Mt. Manaslu dominates the Mansiri-Himal subrange of the Himalayas and is distinguished by its sharp, attractive peak. The world’s eighth-highest mountain, first summited by a Japanese team in 1956, has a long history with Japanese climbers, but among Europeans, it remains one of the lesser-known summits.
The journey begins with 1.5 hours direct heli flight from Kathmandu to Samagaun where you will be spending 3 nights for acclimatization. After few days of traveling uphill through thick woods, we finally arrive at the Manaslu Base Camp.
The Manaslu expedition 2024 provides you with the eagerly anticipated spectacular adventure experience. If you are a first-time climber over 8000m, Mount Manaslu Expedition is the best option because it serves as the preparatory training for the Everest region Expedition as well. This is one of the many reason why you should climb Manaslu.
