Read the full journey overview
Escape into the breathtaking world of Manaslu, where the sharp and picturesque peak dominates the Mansiri-Himal subrange of the Himalayas. With its long-standing history of Japanese climbers and less familiarity among Europeans, Manaslu which translates to “The Spirit Mountain”, offers the perfect challenge for those seeking an unforgettable adventure. At 8,163m, reaching the summit is no easy feat. Only well-organized trekkers in the group are able to trek in this area because it is still restricted to small clusters. However, with Tintin and Sherpa Adventure expertise, you'll be equipped with the necessary skills, fitness level, and mindset to conquer this incredible mountain. Join us on this journey and make us part of your unforgettable memory.
