Unlike neighboring Annapurna region, Manaslu remains, by and large, a pristine region that houses the world’s eight-highest mountain peak.Mt. Manaslu 8,156 m literally means “mountain of sprit”. The word ‘manasa’ comes from Sanskrit meaning “intellect” or “soul” .And the sight of twin peaks glistening in the sunset provides perfect explanation as to why the would call it so. It appears, at first sight, to dominate the landscape, but as one continues along the trekking route, it becomes more of the tranquil spirit, something that enables the mind to calm down.
Mount Manaslu is the eighth highest mountain in the world. The long ridges and glaciers valley have easy approaches from all directions. In 1956 a Japanese expedition first climbed Mt. Manaslu.
