About Manaslu

Manaslu also known as Kutang lies in the Mansiri Himal in the west-central part of Nepal. The name Manaslu means ‘mountain of the spirit’. It is also called the ‘Killer Mountain of the World’ due to high fatality rate of climbers and the avalanche risks. The mountain was first climbed on 9 May, 1956 by Toshio Imanishi and Gyalzen Norbu, members of a Japanese expedition. Manaslu, the highest peak in Gorkha district, is 64 km east of Annapurna.

The Manaslu region offers a variety of trekking options. The popular Manaslu trekking route of 177 km goes round the Manaslu massif over the pass down to Annapurna. It takes approximately 65 days to climb the peak.

The entry point for the peak is through Dhadingbesi or Gorkha. There are two routes for Mt Manaslu. One begins from Gorkha to the Base Camp through Kalanchowk, Deurali, Gumda, Jagat, Philim, Bihi, Namrung and Samagaun. The other starts from Dhadingbesi through Arughat, Jagat, Philim, Bihi, Namrung and Samagaun. The total distance of the Gorkha route is 120.6 km, and Dhadingbesi 120.1 km.
