MANASLU EXPEDITION 2026
The Mountain of the Spirit. The Test of True Endurance.
In 2026, I aim to climb Mount Manaslu (8,163m) — the eighth-highest mountain in the world.
Known as “The Mountain of the Spirit,” Manaslu is a sacred peak located in the Nepalese Himalayas and is one of the most technically demanding climbs among the 8000ers.
This expedition is a crucial step in my long-term project:
8K Summits Nepal – The Ultimate Himalayan Mission.
