Climb Overview
The Manaslu Expedition 2025 team arrived in Kathmandu on 1 September 2025. After two days of preparations and final checks, they departed from Kathmandu on 3 September for the approach trek to Manaslu Base Camp. Over the next week, the team trekked via Larkya La Pass, reaching Manaslu Base Camp at 4,900 meters on 10 September.
On Sept 12, Climbing training was conducted at Base Camp, led by our guide Dawa (IFMGA), to ensure every team member was fully prepared.
On 13 September, the team conducted the Puja ceremony at Base Camp, a traditional blessing before moving to higher camps. Two rotations to higher camps followed, allowing the climbers to acclimatize and prepare for the summit attempt.
The final summit push began on 21 September:
• 21 Sept: Base Camp (4,900m) to Camp 2 (6,250m/20,500ft)
• 22 Sept: Camp 2 to Camp 3 (6,800m/22,300ft)
• 23 Sept: Camp 3 to Camp 4 (7,450m/24,440ft)
• 23 Sept night – 24 Sept morning: Camp 4 to Summit (8,163m)
Miranda, Omer, and Magnus reached the summit between 4:20 AM and 9:00 AM on 24 September. After spending time at the top, they began their descent and have safely returned to Camp 4. The whole team is expected to reach Base Camp by tomorrow.
Miranda Lee reached the summit without supplementary oxygen, guided by Man Bahadur Tamang. Her achievement reflects careful preparation, pacing, and experience at high altitude.
Conclusion
The Manaslu expedition 2025 is now coming to a close. The team will depart Base Camp on 26 September and return to Kathmandu, completing another carefully planned and successful climb. This expedition adds to Highland Expeditions continued record of organized high-altitude climbs and prepares the team for future expeditions in the Himalayas.
This marks our third consecutive successful expedition on Manaslu, with a guaranteed expedition already scheduled for 2026.
