Mt. Manaslu is located in the ridges of Mansiri Himal in Gorkha District of Nepal, about 64 km from the famous Mount Annapurna. Manaslu is the eighth highest peak in the world at 8,163m (26,781 ft). It was first ascended in 1956 by the two mountaineers Toshio Imanishi from Japan and Gyalzen Norbu from Nepal.

If you are interested in climbing an 8000 meter peak, Manalu is a very good choice. Although the ascending of Manaslu is at bit more more technical than that of other peaks like Cho Oyu and Shisha Pangma it's still considered one of the easier 8000-meter peaks. Taking a private jeep from kathmandu to Soti Khola we start our treeking towards the Manaslu base camp at 4700m. From here there are 6 different routes to the summit. For this tip we will go the northeast face route which is the most common one. Adventure Ascent will organize a luxury expedition of Mt. Manaslu making your journey as comfortable as possible. There are 4 camps along the way to the summit and the whole expedition will take about one month.
