Trip Overview

Mt. Manaslu, The eighth highest peak in the world which is elevated at the height of 8,163m (26,781 ft) above the sea level is located in the ridges of Mansiri Himal in the Gorkha District of Nepal. Regarded as the “mountain of the spirit”, Mt. Manaslu is identified as Mt. Kutung in Tibet. Manaslu Base Camp trek is a fascinating route, which includes visiting the three peaks of Manaslu, known as "Japanese Peak". Manaslu Base Camp trekking is one of the Challenging treks in the Manaslu Region. Mt. Manaslu 8163m is best known Himal for trekking, hiking, difficulty walking, and expedition which is also considered an Adventurous Sport. It is a well-known and well-loved but rarely visited trekking area. Manaslu Base Camp trekking can be started from two-three places, but simply the Manaslu trekking starts and ends from Sotikhola Bazar to Budhi Gandaki passing through huge extremely steep valleys to the contrasting world of Sama, up to the Manaslu Base Camp 4800m and descending to same way back to sama and can be made the circuit to Marsyangdi Khola after crossing another challenging Larke La 5160 m Pass. So Manaslu trekking area is taken as a Classical trek as well as Adventurous Treks too. Manaslu – which means the “mountain of the soul”, is one of the imminent geographical charismas dominating the historical kingdom of Gorkha. A conical-shaped snow-capped mountain of height 8,163m above sea level is the major attraction of this trekking package. Locally Manaslu is known as Pungen Ri whose embodiment is worshiped in a Gompa couple of hundred meters above the village of Sama Goan.

Mt. Manaslu Base Camp treks offer rich culture, adventure, scenic beauty, and rudimental rural civilization that represents ancient Tibetan lifestyle. Due to the newly opened route, this trek encircling the entire Manaslu massif offers a chance to comprehensively explore the full range of Nepal’s natural and cultural diversity.

    Mardi Himal trek. A wonderful trek ideal even for beginners. Wonderful views, great facilities. Our choice for this trek was through our honeymoon. Seven Summit Treks organized and prepared everything. Sherpa Tashi and porter Nima were great. We could talk, they always prepared everything. I have been in contact with the guys from Seven Summit Treks since the expedition to Makalu and I know that I can rely on them. Thank you for your help and wonderful experience. And see you at the next event.

    Our first co-operation was in 2013 in Pakistan with Arnold Coster expeditions and Sevensummittreks towards the Gasherbrum. After that, we continued to work together on expeditions towards Everest, Makalu, Lhotse, Manaslu (winter), and AmaDablam. For me, SST is a very professional company with a lot of experience and knowledge. We have full confidence in their capabilities and appreciate their flexibility. I would like to thank them for all those years of cooperation and I look forwards to new adventures in Nepal and Pakistan.

    I have been on many expeditions in Nepal over the years, most of them I organized with friends and used Seven Summit Treks only for their base camp services with great service! This year none of my friends were available to climb in Nepal in the Autumn season so I contacted SST and decided to sign up for the Mera Peak and Baruntse expedition. SST organized everything and provide me with a personal climbing Sherpa for the entire trip. Throughout the entire trip, everything was taken care of by SST, including lodging, tea houses, and meals. At Baruntse base camp I had a nice private tent and the cook and kitchen staff always had smiles and cooked great meals. My Sherpa (Jangbu) was great and we became close friends and climbing partners. Jangbu was always there with a smile, a very strong climber, always wanting to help in any way he could. There was plenty of time to decide how and when we were going to make a summit push based on the weather. We had fantastic summit days on both peaks and finished the trip crossing the Amphu Labste pass into the Khumbu Valley staying each night in nice lodges with all meals included. I would highly recommend using SST for any expedition that you want to go on. Thank you Seven Summit Treks for a great trip and your attention to detail!!

    My wife and I had an amazing experience with Seven Summits for the Everest Base Camp Trek. The company was extremely hospitable with a welcome dinner on day 1, including an introduction to our guide. Speaking of our guide, Phurkitar, he was simply brilliant. During the trek, he was very patient as both of us went through physical and emotional tiredness, and he ensured we reached EBC without any major issues. In addition, he helped cater to my vegan and my wife's vegetarian diets throughout the trek. Cannot compliment Phurkitar enough for all his efforts.

    Would readily book with Seven Summits again.
