It offers safety, medical assistance, and a secure setting for acclimatization.

Peak 15 Manaslu Expedition Time Line:
Beginning of September:
After reaching Kathmandu, Nepal, climbers accomplish administrative duties and finalize their permits. After that, they take the trekking route and travel via Besi Shahar to reach the Manaslu Base Camp.
The Sherpa team of Peak 15 Adventure’s configure the Base Camp. After establishing Base Camp, the expedition crew starts acclimatization. To set up tents in each camp, sherpa guides will begin with a slow climb to higher camps.
Climbing and Acclimatization, In order to acclimate, there are several rotations between Base Camp and upper camps throughout this time. Additionally, climbers get ready for the last push to the peak.
Summit Push, A brief window of favorable weather in late September is typically the best time to attempt the summit. The weather is usually at its optimum around this time to reach the peak.
Climbers descend back to Base Camp following the summit push in late Sep -early October, after which they return to Kathmandu to finish their journey.
