Manaslu Expedition

Manaslu: 8,164m
Manaslu- the accent is on the second syllable: Man-as-loo rather then mana-sloo- was peak XXX of the Indian Survey and was at the first called Kutang I, a name derived from it being the highest peak in the local district of Kutang. However, as tang is Tibetan for Flat area the name could be from the virtually that summit plateau, a distinctive feature of the peak when received from the Larkya la, a high pass to the north which would have been crossed by Tibetan traders to reach the valley of the Dudh Khola.The present name is Sanskrit in origin, deriving from manasa meaning the sprit or soul: Manaslu is the mountain of the sprit.The villagers of Sama, at the north-eastern foot of the peak, refer to it as Kambung, the name of a local god who is believed to reside on the summit
