Mountain Larkya Peak (6 249 m / 20 502 ft)

Classic climbing route on relatively low for the Himalayas, but high by world standards, peak. Interesting to those wants to make the ascent of low difficulty in Himalayas during the performing of Manaslu Circuit. This route is certainly a great alternative to the Annapurna Circuit. Manaslu area is newly opened, the trails are relatively less trekked, and the culture and traditions are less affected.

Larkya Peak is a perfect peak to climb in combination with the Manaslu Circuit Trek. It offers non-technical easy climbing with fabulous views of Manaslu, the Annpurnas, Ganesh Himal and beyond – this panoramic views are the main attraction of the ascent. Larkya Peak is rarely climbed trekking peak. There are two peaks - subsidiary Sano (small) Larkya (5,807 m), which is by the way steeper, and Thulo (big) Larkya (6,249 m). Sano Larkya Peak can be climbed in a long day from the base camp which is close to the Manasly circuit trek.  However, to climb Thulo (big) Larkya (6,249 m), a high camp is needed. Reaching true Larkya Peak is a long but easy climb on snow slopes. The best option for climbers is to make a high camp and then complete both peaks.

Located on Manaslu circuit trek, in 130 km from Kathmandu, 8 kilometres from Tibetan border.

Drive to Arughat Bazar from Kathmandu by car. Larkya Peak is reached via the Manaslu Circuit Trek and brings you to Larkya La B.C. via to Samdo (3780m) after eight days of trekking.

Lakrya is a trekking mountain – so you’ll need a special permit for a climb. The rules constantly change but it is easy to get the permit on arrival in Kathmandu in Nepal Tourism Board or via touristic agency.
