Larkya Peak is a stunning mountain located in the Manaslu region of Nepal, standing at an elevation of 6,249 meters (20,498 feet). It is a non-technical but challenging peak to climb, offering trekkers a high-altitude adventure with breathtaking views of surrounding peaks, including Manaslu (8,163 meters) and other prominent mountains in the region.

The peak is typically accessed as part of the Larkya La Pass trek, which is famous for its scenic beauty and remote wilderness.

"Great"

Rating:

The Larkya Peak Expedition was truly a life-changing experience. The 15-day trek through the Manaslu region was tough, but every challenge felt so worth it. From walking through beautiful forests to crossing high-altitude paths, the journey felt like a real adventure. Reaching the summit of Larkya Peak at 6,249 meters was incredible – after all the hard work, standing at the top and looking at the snow-capped mountains around us was a moment I’ll never forget. Along the way, we visited small villages like Samagaon and Samdo, where we got to connect with the locals and feel the warmth of their culture. I couldn’t have asked for a better guide than Anil, who was always there to encourage us, and Sujan, the owner, who made sure everything ran smoothly. The altitude was tough, but with the right support and time to adjust, we managed it. If you’re looking for an unforgettable journey with stunning views, amazing people, and a sense of accomplishment, the Larkya Peak trek is something you won’t want to miss. I’d do it again in a heartbeat!
