Package Overview

Mt. Manaslu expedition offers a completely unique possibility to experience a fairly 鈥渦ntouched鈥� place of Nepal and fantastic splendor along the border of Nepal and China. Manaslu 8,156 meters, (also known as Kutang) is the 8th highest mountain in the world. Manaslu lies in the Kali Gandaki valley of the Nepal Himalayas. Its name, which means that 鈥淢ountain of the Spirit鈥�, comes from the Sanskrit word 鈥淢anasa鈥�, meaning 鈥渋ntellect鈥� or 鈥渟oul鈥�. Manaslu was first climbed on May 9, 1956, by Toshio Imanishi and Gyalzen Norbu, members of a Japanese expedition. Having a huge range of altitudinal and climatic variations, the Manaslu expedition provides a wonderful and diverse habitat for a rich variety of flora and fauna.

The journey of Lamjung district Manaslu region鈥檚 legendary mountain Mount Manaslu is enjoyable and tough. Beginning from Gorkha Budi Gandaki Valley River, crossings the snowbound Larkya La pass (5213m). Crossing via the Budhi Gandaki River and the villages of Machha Khola, Nyak, Jagat, Namru, Lho and Sama Gaon, we reach to the base camp. Manaslu base camp is sincerely romantic due to the fact this region is filling-up with the rhododendron trees, wonderful hanging glaciers, and rugged ice falls. Manaslu region gives a spread of trekking alternatives. The famous Manaslu trekking direction of 177km skirts the Manaslu massif over the pass down to Annapurna.

Manaslu expedition is very remote and rescue in this region is very difficult. This is possible wilderness area to live leopard of snow. Yet the trek is geographically spectacular and culturally fascinating. Manaslu鈥檚 lengthy ridges and valley glaciers provide feasible approaches from all directions and culminate in a top that towers steeply above its surrounding landscape. The climbing route follows a relatively straight line to the summit, which has few technical sections. Normally, four camps are set up during Manaslu climbing.

Manaslu expedition is popular among Japanese trekkers because most of the climbers who have successfully Climbed Manaslu are Japanese.
