Description

The Manaslu ascent begins at Base Camp (4,850m), positioned on a glacial moraine, where climbers start traversing rugged glacier terrain toward Camp 1 (5,700m). The route from Base Camp to Camp 1 involves crevasse navigation and moderate snow slopes, requiring careful ice and snow crossing before the ascent steepens. Above 5,500m, the trail follows a consistent but moderately challenging incline toward Camp 1, which sits along a plateau, offering a stable site for staging the next climb.
