Manaslu - 8163m. |
Country: Nepal |
Description |
| Manaslu lies in the Nepal Himalaya, Kali
Gandaki valley.
This mountain was previously known as Kutan l. 'tang'
being the Tibetan word for flat place, thereby describing
the mountain's general summit. It was then renamed Manaslu
which comes from the Sanskrit word "Manasa" meaning "intellect"
or "soul". It was first climbed by T.Imanishi & g.
Norbu in 1956.
Many consider the three peaks of Manaslu as Japanese
peaks as they were the first to reach its summit in 1956.
there exist half a dozen different routes on Manaslu today.
The south face of this "mountain of intellect" is arguably
the toughest in climbing history.
Our caravan route takes off at Sama Gaon, where incidentally
Makalu is called Kambung- after a local god. It was here
in this selfsame village back in 1954 that the second
Japanese expedition met with bitter resistance from the
locals. They blamed the presence of the heathen foreigners
for the avalanches and pestilence on the valley. They
felt that Japanese had insulted the gods dwelling in the
mountains thereby angering them into creating such adverse
conditions.
