The project is dedicated to the Manas epic and the International Year of Mountains, 2022. The epic «Manas» is a real Kyrgyz code. Identification code of our people, our country. We chose Manaslu for a reason. From Sanskrit, its name is translated as «mountain of the great spirit», next to the top is Lake Manas. We plan to raise a three-kilogram volume of the epic edited by Sayakbay Karalayev to the top. Each member of the expedition will carry the book in turn»
