The Manaslu Expedition: This expedition in total is a 48-day expedition, in which 24 days are set aside as a climbing period. The expedition starts with a drive from Kathmandu to Arughat (606m). In just 11 days the elevation gradually rises to 4,750m (the Manaslu base camp). Starting in the village of Arughat, the trekking route passes through beautiful villages, terrace farms, narrow gorges, rhododendron forest, and local pastures, and enters into the Tibetan-influenced higher alpine country. The base camp is set at the lateral moraine of the Manaslu Glacier. Manaslu can be approached from many routes; however, we will be using the standard route (up the Northeast face), the route used by the Japanese expedition team in 1956. 3 high camps: C1 (5,500m), C2 (6,300M) and C3 (7,300m) will be set above the base camp.
