Manaslu is the 8th highest mountain in the world and situated in the central region of Nepal in the Gorkha massif the name Manaslu was derived from the Sanskrit word “Maanas” meaning “soul” or “intellect”. Toshio Imanishi, Japan, and Gyalzen Norbu, Nepal were the first to climb Mount Manaslu on 09th May 1956. Though there are many routes to this mountain, as the long ridge and valley glacier offer feasibility to approach from different directions, South Face is considered to be the most difficult. Our Manaslu Climb expedition caravan route begins from Gorkha to Samagaon, then to Manaslu Base Camp. Besides just climbing the mountain, the Manaslu region offers some of the best trekking with stunning views of Manaslu Massif, Annapurna, and Lamjung Himal. After completion of Manaslu Climb we retrace our route via the Larky La to the Annapurna classic route, making the expedition even more memorable.
