Mt. Manaslu (8, 163m.) is the eighth highest mountain in the world, located 40 miles east of Annapurna and dominates the Gurkha massif. The name was changed to Manaslu, which is derived from the Sanskrit word Manasa and can be roughly translated as Mountain of the Spirit. Its long ridges and valley glaciers offer feasible approaches from all directions and it culminates in a peak that towers steeply above its surrounding landscape, which dominants feature when seen from afar.
T. Imanishi and Gyalzen Norbu (Japanese expedition) had made the first ascent record of this peak in 1956. Since then it has become more popular among the climbers to make their dream come true to stand on the summit of Mt. Manaslu. There are a half dozen established routes on the mountain today, the south face being arguably the toughest in climbing history.
