Mt. Manaslu Expedition

Mt. Manaslu is the eighth highest mountain in the world with an altitude of 8,163m/26,781ft above sea level, impressively standing as a part of the Nepalese Himalayas in the west-central part of Nepal. The word Manaslu is derived from the Sanskrit language which means “MOUNTAIN OF THE SPIRIT”. Mt Manaslu was first ascended by a Japanese expedition team in 1956.

Officially organized Mt. Manaslu Expedition trip with Adventure Mountain Nepal Trekking and climbing team also offers a beautiful experience of Manaslu Circuit Trekking which is one of the popular trekking trails in Nepal. Along the pre-climbing trekking trip, we can have a chance to view 10 major peaks over 6,500 meters from sea level including a few numbers of peaks above 7,000 meters.

Mt Manaslu Expedition Is For

Before making the decision to attempt the ascent of Mount Manaslu, make sure you meet the essential requirements. You need to be in a very good physical state, healthy, fit, and have better stamina. The expedition includes very long treks and climbs. A single trek can last as long as eight hours per day. High altitude atmosphere conditions must be taken seriously, although Mt. Manaslu is one of the easiest 8,000-meter peaks. Technical mountaineering equipment is very vital in the expedition.

Many mountaineers value Manaslu as a preparation for more technically challenging ascents, such as Everest Expedition.
