Among the major 8000m. high mountain in the world, Mt. Manaslu is the eighth highest peak lies in 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 a far. 

Gyalzen Norbu and T. Imanishi (Japanese expedition) had made the  first ascent record of this peak in 1956. Since then Mt.
