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 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.
