Manaslu

Manaslu rises to 8,163 meters above sea level, making it the eighth highest mountain peak in the world within the Mansiri Himal range.

Japanese mountaineers Toshio Imanishi and Gyalzen Norbu completed the first successful climb to the summit on May 9, 1956, establishing strong Japanese connections.

The Sanskrit-derived name translates to Mountain of the Spirit, reflecting deep connections to local Buddhist traditions and Tibetan influenced communities.

Climbers require multiple permits, including the Restricted Area Permit and Conservation Area Permit, while facing technical challenges across six different climbing routes.

The mountain contains six distinct climate zones from subtropical foothills to high-altitude pastures, supporting rare species like snow leopards and red pandas.
