Located in the Manaslu mountain range in the Gorkha district of Nepal, Larkya Peak is an awe-inspiring adventure to conquer its summit at 6,249 m (20,621 ft ) peak. Listed under Trekking Peak Climbing with a grade of 'Assez Difficile' “AD +” taken from the widely used and popular French / Swiss Alpine Climbing Classification. Open for climbing under the Nepal Mountaineering Association (NMA) Larkey Peak is one of the few to be climbed and permits have only been issued since 2002. Which is also spelled as Larke. Located within the massive Manaslu Himalaya and close to the famous Larke-la 5106 m pass. Tamang and Sherpa communities’ diverse cultures and traditions make the journey captivating & ever-memorable.
Open for foreign travelers Since 1991 the Manaslu region requires a special permit from the Government of Nepal to get entry in the Manaslu region. It is also home to the endangered Snow Leopard, Himalayan Black Bear, Red Panda, Grey Wolf, Musk Deer, Blue Sheep, Monkeys, and of course the ever-present Yaks that roam the grazing lands at high altitudes. There are believed to be 35 species of mammals, 110 species, 3 species of Reptiles, and between 1700-2000 species of flowering plants. People of Manaslu region are greatly influenced by the Tibetan lifestyle which can be easily seen during the entire trip. In fact, their day-to-day life depends on the Tibetan market.
Our adventure of the Larkya peak climbing journey starts following the Manaslu circuit trekking trail which begins from Soti Khola with a drive about 6-7 hrs from Kathmandu. From Soti Khola the trek gradually heads higher, initially to the base of Famous Larke-La Pass (5135m) and then on to your goal – Larke Peak (6219m). The 360-degree mesmerizing panoramic views of high Himalayas peaks such as Mt. Manaslu, Ganesh Himal, Himlung Himal, Annapurna, and several other snow-capped peaks are the main attraction from the summit.
