Expedition Overview

Mount Manaslu, standing at 8,163 meters, is the eighth-highest mountain in the world, located in the Mansiri Himal of Nepal. Known as the “Mountain of the Spirit,” it features long ridges, steep ice faces, and glaciated terrain, offering climbers both technical challenges and breathtaking beauty. Its remote location and harsh weather conditions make expeditions demanding, requiring careful planning, acclimatization, and high-altitude experience. Manaslu is celebrated not only for its climbing allure but also for the stunning landscapes and rich cultural heritage of the surrounding Himalayan region.
