Scaling the eighth highest mountain in the world, Manaslu Expedition celebrates the majesty of the Himalayas and the natural gifts of the Manaslu region. This Himalayan adventure unfolds a diverse terrain and challenges en route to the top. Also, it is regarded as one of the easier mountains to climb, which is above 8,000 meters. The expedition route follows the north-eastern ridge with relatively fewer technical difficulties revealing an awe-inspiring view every step of the way.
If you are thinking about climbing the mountain which is situated above 8000m sea level, definitely Mt. Manaslu is your first choice from different perspectives as it is identified as the safest one among others 8000m above peaks. Manaslu (8163m) is a prominent Himalaya in the Mansiri Himal range separated from the Annapurna range by the majestic Marasyangdi River. In addition to being one of the most popular 8000m peaks in the world, it is also homes to many Himalayan adventures, including trekking, peak climbing, and expeditions. Also, Manaslu is a perfect high-altitude preliminary preparation for Everest. The climbing route follows relatively straightforward and less technical difficulties via the Northeast ridge making it a popular choice. The trip route continues alongside the Budhi Gandaki River to reach Sama Gaon and at this place will be our first acclimatization in 3500m. Alternatively, we can fly by heli Kathmandu to Sama Gaon to reduce the total number of climbing days.
From the village, we will head to the Manaslu Base Camp and make official preparations for the expedition. As we indulge in scaling the mountain for 25 to 30 days, we will have numerous practice sessions and climbing training, and acclimatization. From the base camp, we will climb camp I (5700m), Camp II (6400m), and Camp III (6800m) is the next stop on the expedition before you head to Camp IV (7400m). Finally, we will move the final section, which is about 70 meters long with the help of fixed ropes. The top offers a gorgeous panorama of mountains in the Manaslu, Annapurna, and Cheo Himal ranges.
