Manaslu
NepalManaslu, standing at 8,163 meters in Nepal, is a popular yet formidable 8000-meter peak, often considered a good stepping stone before tackling Everest. The climb itself involves several steep snow slopes, some technical sections, and significant avalanche risk, especially around Camp 3. While it doesn’t require extreme technical skills, the altitude and weather conditions make it physically demanding, so solid acclimatization is key. The trek to base camp goes through the beautiful Manaslu Circuit, a remote and culturally rich region, but the mountain itself has gained popularity, so expect more climbers, especially in peak season.
Difficulty
