Manaslu Expedition (8,163m) - Autumn 2013
Catch up! Dear climbers, Cheer up!
Golden opportunity for joining with expedition Group!!
Manaslu Expedition with Snowy International Climbing Team!!!
Manaslu Himalayan Peak the eighth highest peak in the world with the altitude of 8163 meters also known as Kutang. It lays at the most scheduled Himalayan Valley in the central-western Nepal at the edge. It is one of the alternatives Mountain Expedition of Mt Cho Oyu from Tibet, which seems easy and interesting even other than nine 8000m Expeditions in Nepal. Some experienced mountaineers used to say that Manaslu Expedition is even better experience than Cho Oyu for mountaineering training to become accustomed to Mt. Everest Expedition to their next trip.
At least six different routes to Manaslu Expedition exist today of which the south face is the most challenging in climbing history. The Manaslu climbing route follows a relatively straightforward line to the summit, which has few technical sections. Normally, four camps are set up during Manaslu climbing after Advanced Base Camp. After Manaslu Base Camp, climbers has to bear a few stretches of steep climbing and crevasses from Camp I to Camp II, slippery snow climbing is required from Camp II to Camp III and possibility of facing avalanches from Camp III to Camp IV during the attempts. As per record, the first attempt to Manaslu was made in 1953 by a Japanese team from the Budhi Gandaki Valley, however, it was unsuccessful and the first ascent had succeeded only in 1956. Since then it has been facing series of success and failure stories for approaching to the summit.
Mt. Manaslu with its long ridges and valley glaciers, which provide feasible approaches from all directions culminating in a peak that towers steeply above its surrounding landscape, is going to be the best choice of Himalayan climbers in next autumn. Since, the Mountaineering Association of Tibet is unable to provide the permits and visas to the climbers in autumn 2012 for Cho Oyu, Shishapangma and North Side Everest.
There are very few Expedition operators of 8000m mountains in Nepal and Snowy Horizon Expedition is proud to be one of among them. Snowy Horizon is emerging, well managed 8000m Expedition operator in Nepal, and has already scheduled the Easy Manaslu Expedition autumn 2013, after successful operation of "Snowy International Manaslu Expedition-Autumn 2012" recently, which begins on 04 September 2013. To organize the expedition of 8000m adventure peak like Manaslu, we are preparing our climbers for Mt. Manaslu Climbing in next autumn and appeal to all interested climbers to join us and assure high range of possibilities to be success for approaching to the summit of Mt. Manaslu through our assistance. Remember that safety and security of the climbers is the most important ethic for Snowy Horizon Team for ever.
Our Manaslu Climbing Services
In the Base Camp: Snowy Horizon Treks & Expedition provides very professional, supportive and friendly mountaineering logistic services from Kathmandu to the ABC as well as during the climb. Our objective is to ensure a good quality, supportive, safe, friendly, stress free and comprehensive service to maximize summit opportunity.
We provide a comprehensive service organizing all necessary permits, and climbing documentation, travelling logistics including airfares, ground transportation, porters, and other individual services required by mountaineers. On the track to the ABC we organize all required accommodation and food.
In the Base camp our cook and helpers will prepare and serve three delicious freshly cooked and plentiful meals a day and will ensure that hot and cold drinks are available 24hrs a day. In the Base Camp we provide spacious expedition quality personal tents for all our clients both with full board or base-camp service only. In the base camp we also provide dining tent, kitchen tent, toilet facilities and portable shower facilities and tent accommodation for our staff.
In the Base Camp we provide access to communication including satellite telephone and internet access, and solar panels to charge your batteries
Full Board: For full board clients we provide personal tent and food, which will be prepared by their climbing Sherpa. We provide UHF/VHF hand held radios on the mountain to maintain communications between ABC and high camps.
We provide a personal climbing Sherpa guide to help the clients to reach the summit. The secret of success on Manaslu is a strong and experienced climbing Sherpa. No matter how good and experienced climber, it is a long slog. Personal climbing Sherpa will set up camp 1 and camp 2 and camp 3 including food provisions, fuel and oxygen and will guide and assist the client on the summit day.
Approaches to ABC
The trek into the base camp of Manaslu is absolutely breathtaking and takes you back in time when all Himalayan mountains were approached on foot. The trek starts at low elevation of 950m in Arughta and raises gradually over next 10 trekking days. It is a perfect way to acclimatize before base camp is reached and to take on climbing relatively quickly. From the village of Arughat situated in the low country the trek climbs through narrow gorges, rhododendron forest and local pastures to emerge into the higher alpine country with Tibetan influences.
The Advanced Base Camp (ABC) (4800m) is located at the lateral moraine of the Manaslu Glacier and it can be reached within 10 days trek or there is also option of flying in to ABC by MI-17 helicopter from Kathmandu.
Climbing Routes
Manaslu has many interesting routes leading to the common summit and many of them were climbed and explored. The standard commercial route is along the original route of the 1956 Japanese expedition up the Northeast face.
The climb is straightforward and only slightly more technical then Cho Oyu or Shishapangma, however with low Base Camp it is a long climb and with relatively high objective avalanche risk.
Traditionally there are 3 camps above base camp C1 (5,500m), C2 (6,300m) and C3 (7,300 m). Some expeditions establish an intermediate camp between C2 and C3 at 6,700m. The terrain encountered on the ascents varies from glacier crossings to steep snow steps and requires a good understanding of basic alpine climbing techniques. Manaslu has been climbed Alpine style but traditionally all commercial operators practice expedition style to improve the chances of summit success for the clients.

The Trekking guide will come to your Hotel early in the morning at 7.00 am to pick you up and take you for 8 hours driving journey to Arughat by public surface transport. From Kathmandu to Dhading Bensi about 3 hours is comfortable drive however from there to Arughat for another 4 hours the drive will be on dirt road. Overnight Tented Camp accommodation with full board will be at Arughat.
Sep 05/Day 05: Trek from Arughat to Soti Khola (712m).
This trek will follow the Budi Gandaki River today toward its point of origin takes about 6 hours to walk. We pass the village of Morder and Simre to reach Arkhat River. After Arkhat River, we ascend slowly toward Kyoropani. You camp today near the confluence of Soti River an ideal place to take a fresh water bath. Overnight Tented Camp accommodation with full board will be at Soti Khola.
Sep 06/Day 06: Trek from Soti Khola to Machha Khola (883m).
The trail descends slowly until you climb again to mountain ridge to Almara; pass the forest trail to arrive at Riden Gaon. The valley here cuts into another side of the river to enter Budi Gandaki. At Lambesi, the trail follows down to the sandy riverbed of Budi Gandaki. Within in 5-6 hours walk you camp tonight at Machha River at Tented accommodation with full board.
Sep 07/Day 07: Trek from Machha Khola to Jagat (1,415m).
After crossing Machha Khola (River) and Khrola besi, there is a hot spring called "Tatopani". The trail follows forested area after this toward Dovan. Below Dovan, there is a huge rapid at Budi Gandaki. As the elevation increases, the rapids and the scenery undergoes a complete transformation. At Jagat, there is a police check-post where the checkpoint of your trekking permit is situated. Overnight Tented Camp accommodation will set at Jagat for today.
Sep 08/Day 08: Trek from Jagat to Philim (1,606m).
The trail now crosses the river and climbs over a rocky ridge to the settlement of Salleri. We continue up the side of a cliff, and then descend to Setibas, where several Mani walls indicate we are now entering a region of Tibetan influence. The trail continues up to the stone houses of Ghatta Khola, and then heads over to the east side of the river to Philim. It takes 5-6 hours to walk.
Sep 09/Day 09: Trek from Philim to Ghap (3.200m).
Beyond Philim, the trail enters a steep uninhabited gorge. We descend grassy slopes and cross the Budi Gandaki on a wooden cantilever bridge where the river is at its narrowest. The trail now hangs on a cliff, climbing over ridges and descending back to the river. The valley finally widens and it's a pleasant walk through bamboo forests to the tiny village of Deng. We have now succeeded in crossing the main Himalayan Range, and the trail follows the Budi Gandaki Valley as it turns from north-south to east-west. This region is known as Kutang and is inhabited primarily by Gurungs who practice Buddhism takes about 5 hours walk. We head west up the Budi Gandaki Valley, contouring up and out of the canyon, then drop into the Shringi Khola Valley. More ups and downs eventually bring us to Ghap, a village of five or six stone houses. The Mani wall in Ghap has particularly elegant carvings, many of which depict the Buddha in various meditative poses and others of the Tibetan saint Milarepa, who is said to have travelled and meditated in this valley. This is our camping spot for tonight.
Sep 10/Day 10: Trek from Ghap to Namrung (2,670m).
Today, we head into the woods through fir trees alive with birdlife, including the Monal, or impeyan pheasant, Nepal's colorful national bird. On the north side of the river is the Tom Khola, flowing in a deep gorge from Tibet, almost doubling the flow of the Budi Gandaki. There is a lot of trading between villages in this region and those higher in the valley and also with Tibet. In the middle of the forest we cross a wooden bridge spanning the Budi Gandaki, then make a long climb through bamboo and rhododendron forests to Namrung (2,670m). This village has lovely stone houses and a police check post that controls access to the upper part of the valley. (About 5 hours.)
Sep 11/Day 11: Trek from Namrung to Shya (3,530m).
Beyond Namrung we enter the Nupri Region, inhabited by descendants of Tibetan immigrants. After passing through the villages of Barcham, Li, and Sho, we begin to get spectacular views of Manaslu, Manaslu North, and Naike Peak at the head of the valley. The trail finally emerges onto a plateau at Shya (3,530m), one of the most spectacular view sites in the Himalayas, with wide vistas of Himal Chuli, Ngadi Chuli (Peak 29), and Manaslu. We trek about 5 hours for this trek.
Sep 12/Day 12: Trek from Shya to Sama Gaon (3,541m).
From Shya, the trail crosses a ridge, enters and then exits a side canyon, then descends onto a rock-strewn moraine. From here we clamber across the boulders to emerge onto a ridge overlooking the extensive pastures and fields of Sama Gaon (3,541m). Sama Gaon was the original Base Camp for Manaslu, though nowadays it is merely a staging post, and not occupied for the mainstay of the expedition. We will move our loads from here to ABC, and operate from this camp once everyone is acclimatized.
Sep 13/Day 13: Acclimatization day at Samagaon (3,541m).
This is the day for your acclimatization to prepare for further trekking up to the Manaslu base camp.
Sep 14/Day 14: Trek from Sama Gaon to Samdo (3,872m).
Re-energized following our rest day, we descend to the Budi Gandaki, which has now turned north again, and follow the trail to the Larkya La. Winding on a shelf above the river, the trail is at first good and easy, then gets rougher as it reaches a ridge where yak trains have ground it up. We continue to Samdo (3,872m), which is nestled behind a ridge. Today we only walk 3-4 hours and accommodate in camping.
Sep 15/ Day 15: Acclimatization and walk up and down to ABC (4,750m).
We have the option of walking up to Pungey Gompa and the hill behind it, or heading all the way up to ABC. If there has been a lot of rain, there can be some difficult river crossings to get to ABC. ABC is the ‘Advanced Base Camp' for expeditions to Manaslu. It is sited in a well-protected location on moraines, spacious and flat with room enough several teams.
Sep 16/Day 16: Final move to ABC for Camping (4,750m).
Sep 17- Oct 14/Day 17-44: Manaslu Summit Climbing Period
These days are the major climbing days for you to ascend the summit of most awaited Mt. Manaslu. After some day’s acclimatization and exercise you will be taken to the higher camps to be closer to the summit of (8,163m) where you will be provided food for high altitude. You are allowed to trek from lower camps to higher camps or vice versa for more practice and acclimatization. Finally we wish for your success to reach in the summit. Here you get full board service with tented camp accommodation in all camps.
ABC to Camp One (5,500m)
You will face the easy rock scrambling with one straightforward step of 10-15 m below Camp 1. The rock is loose in places. Team members normally move together roped up 'Alpine style', though some sections might be fixed. Camp 1 is located in a superb position on a col. 3 - 4 hours time for climbing time.
Camp One to Camp Two (6,400m)
The route between camp 1 and Camp 2 goes up to couloirs and through an icefall, weaving between seracs with crevasses underfoot. This area is prone to avalanche collapse as well - usually outpouring at well-defined chutes, which can be crossed quickly. 4 - 6 hours climbing to camp 2. Fixed rope - approximately 500 meters required in short sections between camp 1 and camp 2 (including the section through the icefall).
Camp Two to Camp Three (7,300m)
The route to camp 3 goes up to an icefall and then weaves up onto the main slope. A rightward trending ramp, which can be very icy, is traversed and leads into camp 3. The climbing period between camps 2 to 3 is about 6-9 hours.
Camp 3 to Summit (8,163m) and back to camp 2
The slope from Camp 3 is about 20 degrees behind camp, before steeping up to 30 to 40 degrees. In good conditions, this section does not need to be fixed. As you get higher the slopes get steeper and need to be fixed, first to the fore summit, then to the final highest summit, which is a steep pinnacle 150 meters away from the fore summit and 50 meters high. From the summit, the team will aim to return all the way to Camp 2. Anticipate an 8-12 hour round trip to the summit and back to Camp 2.
A ramp leads onto a plateau that is crossed to reach the summit. There can be heavy crevassing above Camp 3, requiring team members to move together roped-up, if the crevasses are covered. Some teams have become lost on the plateau in bad weather, meaning this section should be marked with wands at very frequent intervals, and GPS carried to mark the location of camps and key features. The summit ridge is exposed and is fixed with rope.
Clearly some significant but relatively well-defined areas of serac fall and crevasses fields, requiring caution and the use of appropriate strategies: speed, fixed rope, roping-up and navigation aids.
