Larkya is a mountain in the Manaslu Himalayan range. It consists of two peaks: Sano Larkya and Thulo Larkya. It is located at a height of 6,249m/20,496ft. It is situated within the Manaslu Conservation Area. It is situated in the Gorkha District. It has only recently become available to trekkers. It is listed in the peak climbing category A. Manaslu, Cheo Himal, Himlung Himal, Nemjung, Gyaji Kang, Kang Guru, and Annapurna II are all visible from here.
You will pass through the various natural landscape on your Larkya Peak summit adventure, including lush forests, deserted and rocky terrains. This trek’s highlights include passing through Rhodendron and Oak forests. The Path leads you from the warm lowlands with their rice and millet terraces to the mighty Budi Gandaki gorges with their aqua waters and amazing waterfalls. It allows you to see how religious and cultural aspects of the region differ depending on location. The Hindu influence can be seen in the lower area of Manaslu. And the higher region is strongly influenced by the Buddhist religion, and one of the trek’s major highlights is crossing a high mountain pass, Larkya La pass, and summiting Larkya Peak.
The 18-days trek begins with a seven- to eight-hour drive from Kathmandu to Soti Khola via Arughat. The trek begins in Soti, a small village on the banks of the Budhi Gandaki River. At the foot of Manaslu, reaches the village of Samagoan. Samdo, the highest village in the Budhi Gandaki valley and home to Bhotias, may be reached after a half-day hike from Samagaon. Further, we will acclimatize in Samdo. From there we will walk toward Larkya Base camp and High Camp. We will summit Larkya peak and will continue your hike to the Larkya La pass, and then descend to the Bimtang meadowland. From there, make your way to Dharapani, the trek’s final point.

Is this trek appropriate for you?

This trek includes 14 days of strenuous climbing. You’ll be trekking for a minimum of 4 to a maximum of 10 hours per day, reaching elevations of over 5000 meters at times. We cannot overestimate the importance of being in excellent physical shape and health, which requires training before your trip to ensure that you are properly prepared.
This is the trek for you if you have previous rock climbing or wall climbing experience. It is recommended that you have prior experience with high-altitude trekking.
The weather in the Himalayas can be unpredictable, you must plan and prepare accordingly, as well as stay up to date on the weather forecast.
The teahouses, or trekking lodges, where we stay on the trek are very basic, with just basic services. Hot water may not be accessible at all times and may be charged extra, as well as access to electrical outlets for charging electronics. Wi-Fi is available in some areas, although the quality of the connection may be poor.
The path twists and turns through challenging terrain. At 6,249 meters, you’ll reach the highest peak. Because of the weather, isolation, and high altitude of this walk, it’s critical to take it carefully and stay hydrated.
