Trip Overview

Mt. Manaslu, The 8th highest peak in the world which is elevated at the height of 8,163m (26,781 ft) above 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. This peak lies about 64km east of Mount Annapurna. Two mountaineers Toshio Imanishi and Gyalzen Norbu ascended to the top on 9th May 1956. Although there were several expeditions to Manaslu earlier expedition to Manaslu was legally unlocked only in 1991. Since, the inaugural expedition by H.W Tilman, Mt Manaslu has been popular among tough trekkers, and this region is still constrained to limited clusters and only well-structured trekkers in the group can trek here. Manaslu region is very isolated resulting in challenging rescuing.

The ascending is more technical than that of other peaks like Cho Oyu and Shisha Pangma. The base camp of Manaslu lies at a height of 4700m. Long crests of the mountain offer the possibility to be scaled from every direction to conclude to the top that is sharply above its neighboring scenes. Among six routes, the route starting from the south is hard-hitting while the northeast face route is the most common. Every year Seven Summit Treks organize a large number of successive expeditions of Mt. Manaslu.

    Seven Summit Treks and Arnold Coster, thank you for arranging an incredible and memorable expedition to Manaslu. From the trek into the comforts of base camp to the time spent climbing and safely returning to Kathmandu, your professional and exceptional service on and off the mountain exceeded my expectation. Moreover, your experienced and committed team of sherpas and office staff went beyond to ensure our safety and comfort. Thank you. I can't wait to climb with you again, hopefully soon!

    I have climbed Manaslu (8,163m) in September 2017, utilizing the service of Seven Summit Treks Ltd. (SST) I have been pleasantly surprised with the quality service that I received during the expedition. First, I was very satisfied with the smooth schedule management of the SST. From the day I left Kathmandu (Sep.9) to the day I returned to Kathmandu (Sep.29), there was no single day of waiting or waste. Everything was moving on so fluently; Heli flight, rest, moving up to BC, puja, acclimatization trip, rest, summit push, return to Kathmandu. Amazingly, it took only 16 days from the day of arrival at BC(Sep.11) to the day of the summit (Sep 27). Mingma Sherpa, Dawa Sherpa, and other management staff diligently worked for this smooth transition of each phase. Secondly, I appreciate the excellent Basecamp food. Everything was so fresh! I think this is possible only with SST because it has so many clients that operate 5 or 6 kitchens at the same time and they are equipped with everyday new fresh supplies such as fruits and vegetables. The economy of scale produces a quality of scale here! In my opinion, the SST is greatly undervalued in the market now. There is a bias against Nepali and Nepali companies. Some western critics often say “cheap operator”, implying ‘low quality. However, clever clients know and choose ‘good priced high-quality service such as SST.

    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.
