Manaslu Expedition (55 days) Manaslu, the eighth highest mountain in the world is a part of the Mansiri Himal in the Nepal Himalayas. The mountain's long ridges and valley glaciers offer feasible approaches from all directions, and culminate in a peak that towers steeply above its surrounding landscape, and is a dominant feature when viewed from afar. This is a full service expedition with a western guide-manager offering the best balance of quality and value. Manaslu has not previously extensively been offered as a commercial peak, however for the autumn season, it is the best alternative to Cho Oyu. Phil Crampton, who has reached the true summit of Manaslu will be the expedition leader. He and our sherpa crew summited Manaslu in 2008. During this expedition the team will be supported by a 1:2 Sherpa to climber ratio. Team members can travel independently in groups or pairs lower on the mountain and will have Sherpas to accompany them at all times above camp three. All of our Sherpas are 8,000-meter experienced and some have reached the summit of Manaslu. We trek to base camp during the monsoon but we can arrange a helicopter instead, please ask for a quote.
