latitude Manaslu is situated in the central region of
Nepal in the Gorkha massif is the eighth highest mountain
in the world. The name Manaslu was derived from the
Sanskrit word "Maanas" meaning "soul"
or "intellect". Japanese were the first to
climb Manslu Mountain in 1956, therefore it is still
considered as Japanese peak by many people. Though there
are many routes to Manslu mountaineering , as the long
ridge Manaslu base camp and valley glacier offer feasibility
to approach from different directions, but South Face
is considered to be the most difficult. Our caravan

to the Annapurna classic route , making the expedition
one of the memorable one for Mt. Manaslu climbing. |
