Mount Manaslu (8163m). The word ‘Manaslu’ comes from Sanskrit language meaning ‘Intellect’ or ‘Soul’ as similar to the meaning of Holy Lake Mansarovar of Tibet. It was first climbed in 1956 by a Japanese expedition so it is always regarded as the "Japanese Mountain" by Japanese people. HW Tillman and Jimmy Roberts photographed Manaslu during a trek in 1950 however; the first formal survey of the peak was made by a Japanese expedition in 1952.
The first serious attempt was done from the Budi Gandaki valley in 1953 followed by another Japanese team in 1954. The villagers of Samagaon protest against the first team, accusing them responsible for an avalanche that destroyed a monastery & refused to let the 1954 expedition to climb. So, the expedition set off to climb Ganesh Himalayan instead. The second successful Japanese expedition was in 1971 followed by a South Korean attempt in the same year. In April 1972 an avalanche killed five climbers. 10 Sherpas ended the second made the fourth ascent of mount Manaslu, as a member of a Tyrolean expedition that climbed from the Marshyangdi valley in 1972. Manaslu is one of the popular mountains among foreigners. They are enthusiastic to climb it.
