Overview

If you are searching for the first 8,000m peak to climb, then Mt. Manaslu is a great option to accomplish your ambition of climbing more wide-ranging and challenging eight-thousand summits. If ascended between September and October, Mount Manaslu is a bit easier than other 8000-meter summits. However, Manaslu still stands at 8,000 meters, making it a challenging ascent that requires a lot of time in the dreaded “death zone.” Furthermore, it is extremely challenging and there is a risk of avalanches in the spring. However, Glorious Himalaya Trekking company organizes the Mount Manaslu expedition with a professional Sherpa guide and all the essential planning, instructions, and guidance with top-grade safety and proper itinerary.

Manaslu means “mountain of the spirit”, derived from the Sanskrit word “Manasa“, meaning “intellect” or “soul”, and is also known as “Kutang”(meaning flat place).  The eighth-highest mountain in the world, Mt. Manaslu, is located at an altitude of 8,163 meters (26,781 feet) above sea level. The mountain Manaslu is situated in the Mansiri-Himal subrange of the Himalayan west-central part of Nepal.

On May 9, 1956, Toshio Imanishi (Japan) and Gyaltsen Norbu (Sherpa), a member of the Japanese expedition, accomplished the first ascent of Manaslu. Also, it is said that just as the British regard Everest as their peak, Manaslu has been a Japanese mountain.

Our Manaslu expedition begins with an off-road drive from Arughat-Soti Khola, a beautiful village on the banks of the Budi Gandaki River that is located at an elevation of 700 meters above. There are five camps along the Manaslu climbing route:

  1. Base Camp is located at 4,750 meters (15,184 feet) above sea level.
  2. Camp-I is located at a height of 5,700 meters (18,700 feet).
  3. Camp II is located at a height of 6,400 meters (20,998 feet).
  4. Camp-III is located at a height of 6,800 meters (23,10 feet).
  5. Camp IV is located at a height of 7,450 meters (24, 445 feet).

Among the five climbing routes, camp-I and camp-II are the most challenging and difficult, with several icefalls and crevasses.

Because of its ideal geography, which includes long rides and glaciated valleys during the trek, the Manaslu summit provides mountaineers with half a dozen recognized routes, but the south face is undoubtedly the most difficult. We have the opportunity to be enchanted by the magnificent view of Himalayan peaks while trekking to Manaslu Base Camp and also have the chance to explore some of the most spectacular scenery, with a blend of Nepalese and Tibetan cultures and traditions, and crystal-clear and ice-cold rivers. It is physically remote and distant, but also culturally fascinating and aesthetically inspiring.

However, it is not necessary to tent while trekking because you can experience tea house (staying in a lodge for each night of your trek) trekking in the Manaslu region. You can enjoy the best hospitality and kind greetings while on the expedition, which will make it more enticing and worthwhile.
