Manaslu 8163m Expeditions
Situated in Gorkha, the district of brave Gurkhas, and located forty miles east of Annapurna, Manaslu (also known as Kutang locally) is the eighth highest mountain in the world. The mountain's long ridges and valley glaciers offer feasible approaches from all directions, and it culminates in a peak that towers steeply above its surrounding landscape, and is a dominant feature when seen from afar. This mountain was previously known as Kutang l. 'Tang' in Tibetan language means flat place, it signifies that the mountain has gentle summit. The name was later changed to Manaslu, which is derived from the Sanskrit word Manasa and can be roughly translated as Mountain of the Spirit.
The first ascent of this peak was in 1956 by T. Imanishi and Gyalzen Norbu (Japanese expedition team). The peak was not climbed again until 1971 when a Japanese team made the second ascent. It was not until 1997 that Charlie Mace made the first American ascent. There are a half dozen established routes on the mountain today, the south face being arguably the toughest in climbing history. As of 2003, the peak has seen only 240 successful ascents and 52 fatalities, making it the 4th most dangerous 8000m peak, after Annapurna, Nanga Parbat, and K2.
