The eighth highest mountain in the world is Mt. Manslu and it is a part of the Mansiri Himal in the Nepal Himalayas. It is located 40 miles east to Annapurna and dominates the Gurkha massif. The mountain's long ridges and valley glaciers offer feasible approaches from all directions and it culminates in a peak that towers steeply above its surrounding landscape and is a dominant feature when seen from a far. T. Imanishi and Gyalzen Norbu (Japanese expedition) had made first ascent of this peak in 1956. There are a half dozen established routes on the mountain today, the south face being arguably the toughest in climbing history. Manaslu expedition requires more time than other 8000m. peaks in Nepal due to long approach to reach to the base.
To scale this high mountain Himalayan Yetiland Treks provides all necessary infrastructures to assist you in your summit attempt. We will do the necessary paperwork for expedition permit organize all accommodation before and after expedition. We organize camp facilities, transport loads, stock and set up high camps, fix ropes, provide food, high altitude food, high quality tents, porters, professional Climbing Sherpas, oxygen, satellite telephone, Wake Talkie set, as well advice and assistance as per needed during the expedition.
