A Manaslu expedition involves attempting to climb Mount Manaslu, the eighth-highest mountain in the world at 8,163 meters (26,781 feet) above sea level. Located in the Mansiri Himal range in Nepal, Manaslu is renowned for its challenging climb and offers a compelling alternative to climbers seeking a less crowded ascent compared to some other 8,000-meter peaks.

The expedition usually begins with a trek to base camp, providing an opportunity to witness diverse landscapes, remote villages, and cultural richness. Climbers then establish higher camps, navigating through snow and ice slopes, crevasses, and rocky sections. Manaslu’s ascent requires technical skills and a high level of mountaineering expertise.

Climbing Manaslu demands thorough planning, physical fitness, and the ability to acclimatize to high altitudes. The climbing season typically falls during spring and autumn, offering more favorable weather conditions for the ascent.
