Manaslu is technically a challenging peak than other 8000 meters mountains and this expedition is considered the best preparation for Mt. Everest in comparison to Mt. Cho Oyu. Mt. Manaslu is just 40 km away toward the eastward direction from the tenth highest Mt. Annapurna. Around Manaslu range includes Ngadi Chuli, Himalchuli and Baudha.

Sherpa Mountaineering is a premium Himalayan guiding company founded by IFMGA guide Lakpa Sherpa, delivering safe, ethical, and bespoke expeditions.

🏔️ My First Expedition 2002— Ama Dablam 6,812 meters (22,349 feet) and it became one of the most important experiences of my early mountaineering career.
There were 11 members, one German guide, and two climbing Sherpas. We were responsible for carrying the equipment and managing the expedition logistics.
The work was not easy. We carried loads to Camp 1 four times, Camp 2 three times, and Camp 3 twice. We also had to transfer loads between camps, fix ropes, and continue climbing toward the summit.
Ama Dablam is a technical mountain, so reaching the summit is not simply about walking uphill. It requires repeated climbing, descending, carrying loads, and working as a team.
Even after reaching the summit, our work was not finished. We still had to return through Camp 3, Camp 2 and Camp 1, making several journeys before completing the expedition.
Standing on the summit was an incredible feeling—full
