Larkya Peak Climbing is one of the rarely climbed peaks in Nepal. This peak was officially opened for climbers in the year 2002 AD. Larkya Peak Climbing is a very enjoyable peak to climb in combination with the Manaslu Circuit Trek.  It offers trouble-free climbing with the beautiful views of Manaslu, Annapurna massif, Ganesh Himal and beyond. Besides the mountain views. Larkya Peak climbing provides a unique mixture of rich cultural heritage, unmatched natural beauty, and biological diversity. Moreover, Larkya Peak Climbing is an opportunity to ascend both peaks in a single excursion. At the same time, a peak approaches after a steep climb up to a supplementary summit known as Sano (Small) Larkya at an altitude of 5,807 meters. Although, it requires generating a high camp close to Larkya-La (5,218m). But, Sano Larkya can reach in a single day from base camp which allows excellent acclimatization for true Larkya. 

On the other hand, to climb Thulo(Big), Larkya requires a long walk but consider a leisurely walk on snow rather than Sano Larkya. Thulo Larkya peak is challenging with encounters of higher level ice and glacier climb therefore needed a middle base camp to be set up above base camp and Sano Larkya offers medium climbing effort and can be accomplished in one day. Base Camp is close to Larkya La pass (5,135m), one of challenging high passes in Nepal. Larkya Peak climbing combines numerous stupas and monasteries along the trail although it represents Himalayan Buddhism. It represents the Lower Manaslu Circuit Trail along the Budhi Gandaki River up to the Larkya La. Larkya Peak Climbing provides that spectacular Himalayan Scenic, admirable and lifetime experience.
