A team of high-profile climbers led by Bahrain Prince Mohamed Hamad Mohamed Al Khalifa today arrived at the base camp of Mt Manaslu to attempt to climb the 8163-metre peak in the autumn season.

The team, which climbed Mt Lobuche in the Everest region for acclimatisation last week, will attempt to scale the world’s eighth highest mountain in the third week of October depending on the weather window, according to Expedition Director at Seven Summit Treks, Chhang Dawa Sherpa.

“Fifteen Bahrain nationals and three British citizens of the Bahrain Royal Guard Expedition will be assisted by the world record-holder Sherpa mountaineers here,” Sherpa informed THT from the base camp.
