Trip Overview

If you are hopelessly in love with the mountains of Nepal, then Larke Peak Climbing should be on your wish list. The Larke Peak climbing offers all the conditions to feel like a real climber: snow and ice, technical challenges, the possibility of using the climbing gears, the ability to move in a team, fight possible wind, and other manifestations of the harsh climate at altitude.

The Larke Peak Perched in the Manaslu Conservation Area of the Gorkha District of Nepal, the Larke Peak also spelled as Larkya Peak has two summits: Sano Larkya Peak at 5807 meters and the true summit of Thulo Larkya Peak at 6249 m. we will be climbing the main summit of the Larke Peak.

The Larke peak climbing began only in 2002. The first fortunate climbers to conquer the Peak were Archil Badriashvili, Giorgi Tepnadze,
Bakar Gelashvili, who accomplished the task on 27 Sep 2017 A.D. We will be following in the footsteps of these great conquerors and history-makers to reach the top of the Peak.

What makes the Larke Peak climbing much favorable among mountain lovers is the opportunity to combine climbing, and trekking options with the study of the Nepalese-Tibetan Buddhist culture and cuisine with the exploration of the ancient monasteries in different Gurung and Sherpa villages.

Larke Peak is a huge bonus of the unimaginable spectacular panorama of Manaslu, Annapurna IV, Annapurna II, Kang Guru, Himlung, Ratna Chuli, Gyajing Khang, Cheo, Buddha Himal, and Himal Chuli from its tip, along with a chance to set foot in the restricted zone of Manaslu Conservation Area and the rare probability of spotting the wild flora and fauna of the reserve including snow leopard, musk deer, brown bear, lynx, red fox, blue sheep, Himalayan Serow and Tahr.

From a technical point of view, Larke Peak is a technically challenging peak and is categorized as a group A expedition by the Nepal Mountaineering Association. Therefore, each participant should have experience of previous mountain ascents to peaks of 5000 meters and above.

All in all, the Larke Peak climbing will be an excellent experience both for those who dream of climbing the famous Himalayas as well as for experienced travelers, connoisseurs of mountain nature, and everyone who wants to get acquainted with Nepali flavor and heights!

Finally, the big day has arrived we all are waiting for. In the light of our headlamps, we will move on to climb the summit. Thanks to the excellent altitude acclimatization of the last few days, the ascent will be quite smooth.

First, we will climb the fairly steep moraine terrain, then the trail will lead increasingly over large stone slabs and later over loose scree (which can be covered with snow in spring). then, we will overcome a snow gully up to the highest point till we reach the summit. Depending on the conditions, we may have to use crampons and a harness.

Enjoy the spectacular panoramic view of the icy world of Manaslu, Annapurna IV, Annapurna II, Kang Guru, Himlung, Ratna Chuli, Gyajing Khang, Cheo, Buddha Himal, and Himal Chuli.

Embrace the pride, the joy, and the emotion at the top of the summit. Now, we will descend to our High Cam for a well-deserved hot meal and rest. We still have a long way to go to reach Bimthang which will be our overnight destination for today. We will also have to cross the mighty Larkya La Pass before we reach Bimthang.

From the high camp, it takes around 2 hours to reach the Larkya La Pass. The pass is decorated with many prayer flags, which, together with the mighty mountain panorama, make for a great photo opportunity. If the weather is clear, we can have magnificent views of Larkya Peak, Cheo Himal, Himlung Himal, and Nemjung Himal. Other lesser-known peaks will also be in front of such as Kang Guru, Chombi, Kechakyu, and Gyaji Kang.

From the Pass, we will climb down quite steeply into the Dudh Khola valley to reach the beautifully situated village of Bimthang. Once you arrive in Bimthang, Manaslu is again in front of you, only from the south side, in a wonderful green, lush plain along with Thulagi (7,059 m) and Phungi (6,538 m).

Trip Information of Larke Peak Climbing 17 Days

Best Time to Climb Larke Peak

The most favorable climbing period for Larke Peak is autumn from September to November and spring from March to May. The autumn days are quite spectacular with a cooling breeze, clear visibility, and passage. The early days of spring still feature the accumulation of snow along the route.

The winter ascension (December-February) of the Larke Peak should be attempted by experienced climbers only. The ascension route leading to the Peak through two base camps will be blanketed with thick snow needing great skill for the usage of climbing gears. The avalanche, high-speed wind, and unpredictable weather conditions can often be the cause for obstruction of the trail towards the Larkya La Pass.

Elevation and distance

The Larke Peak climbing begins from Machha Khola at an elevation of 850 m and ends as we conquer the Peak itself at 6249 m. Macchakhola lies approximately 140 km away from Kathmandu which leads us to the Manaslu Conservation Area before we assault the Peak.

The Larke Peak trip is highest elevation for us to spend the night is at High Camp at 5650 m above sea level. An average of 15 km and 6 to 7 hours of walking is required every day during the trek. The total duration of the walk is 12 days.

Maximum/Minimum walk per day

The Larke Peak climbing is no easy task that requires technical skill, the use of climbing gears, and hiking along the rocky and glacial terrain overcoming the strenuous slopes at some point. The total journey requires us to walk for 12 days with the duration ranging from 6 to 7 hours every day on average.

We have planned our Larke Peak program to facilitate the abundant time for proper acclimatization in high altitudes. As our day progresses and approaches the peak, we will be hiking for minimum hours from 3 to 5 every day. The shorter walking duration begins from day 7 to day 13 as we traverse to Lho, Saa Gaun, Samdo, Dharma Shala, and two base camps.

Day 14 Larke Peak will present the toughest change as we set in to conquer the peak and descend to Bimthang requiring us to walk for 8 to 9 hours.

Larke Peak Climbing Difficulty and Acclimatization

Graded as a Group A expedition by the Nepal Mountaineering Association, the Larke Peak climbing is a moderately difficult trekking and climbing journey in the remote setting of the Manaslu region in Nepal. Many climbers climb this mountain as training and acclimatization before more serious high-altitude climbs.

The Larke Peak involves serious physical exertion and the use of climbing equipment. Experience with climbing equipment is required. It is recommended to take a training course in Mountaineering Techniques before your trip.

Our Larke Peak Climbing program is specifically designed to allow plenty of time for proper acclimatization with a rest day in Sama Gaun, followed by minimum walking hours and overnight stays at high altitudes.

In addition Larke Peak, we will be accompanied by a professional climbing guide, and team guaranteeing the highest possible level of our safety, which is the most important part of our work.

Climbing gear information for Larke Peak

The proper mountain climbing gear is necessary for a 100% successful and safe ascent of Larke Peak, which is 6200 m. The minimum gear required is comfort climbing boots, crampons, an ice axe, ropes, a harness set, which is properly checked the gear by an experienced climbing sherpa guide. While some gear can be rented in Kathmandu, if you missed something, it’s necessary to have personal gear that fits and is made to your specifications. If you’re not familiar with these devices, the use of an experienced guide is highly recommended to guide their proper application.

Being prepared and equipped for the ascent is most important in confronting Larke Peak’s challenge. If you’d like further information on any of these pieces of equipment or need advice on your preparations, please feel free to ask.

Can a beginner climb Larke Peak?

No, we don’t advise new trekkers and climbers to attempt the Larke peak climbing without any experience. Although the ascension route is considered safe and technically easy, Larke Peak doesn’t forgive mistakes, and even the most experienced climbers have sometimes failed.

We recommend planning your ascent to Larke Peak at least after Mera Peak, or Sano Larke Peak.

Preparation and training

Physical training in mountaineering is one of the main components of a successful climb. Therefore, you should regularly be involved in practicing aerobic or cardio exercises that when done regularly can increase your physical strength, stamina, and endurance.

Aerobic exercises include: running, brisk walking, swimming, climbing stairs, cycling, and trail running. Naturally, the most accessible and widespread is running.

Please focus on continuously increasing the intensity of your training, without focusing on your usual or achieved level. Larke Peak will strengthen your core and prepare you for possible unforeseen physical difficulties on the route.

In addition Larke Peak, you should also learn basic techniques for working with rope and working with crampons, harnesses, and ice axes with our team in rest day our before start climbing.

Alternate routes

As an alternate ascension route to Larke Peak, instead of hiking along the crowded and commonly used trail, you can use the trail that will lead you to Baseri instead of Machha Khola. From Baseri, you will then trek through unspoiled authentic village settlements of Kashigaon, Kerauja, and Dovan. From Dovan, the trail will then join the current classic route leading you to Philim, Bihi Phedi, and Namrung.

The Larke Peak substitutive path is less spoiled where you can still enjoy some pristine nature. You will get to spend nights in the warm shelter of local homes, and directly observe their day-to-day life.

Altitude Sickness

Along with the technical skill, and strenuous path, you will have to deal with altitude sickness during Larke Peak climbing. This condition occurs due to a lack of oxygen when climbing mountains. Most of us live at low altitudes relative to sea level. When rising to a height of more than 2 thousand meters, unpredictable processes can occur in the body.

Such as weakness, drowsiness, lack of appetite, flatulence, indigestion, headache localized in the temples, nosebleeds, blue lips, and fever.

There is no definite cure for altitude sickness, Diamox, and Ibuprofen can be used to relieve symptoms. Mild symptoms however do not require medication. The main thing is to monitor your water balance and constantly replenish it.

The best prevention of altitude sickness is a gradual and leisurely ascent. In addition, when climbing a mountain, it is important for you to focus on your physical capabilities.

Transportation, Meals and Drink

To lessen your stress related to a tour in Nepal, we strive to take care of all your logistics needs including transportation, accommodation, meals, and drinks. We offer airport pick-up and drop-off services in a private vehicle on your first and last day in Kathmandu. On your second day, we provide a tour guide, and driver with a car to take you on a personal sightseeing tour of the capital.

As the trip starts, we will drive you to the starting point of the trek via a private jeep or bus (based on group size). We will provide the same service at the completion of the trip.

You will start your day with a delicious breakfast every morning in Kathmandu. For lunch and dinner, there are numerous options in the city. During the trek, you will have your breakfast, lunch, and dinner with tea in the mountain lodge along the route. Fresh fruits will be provided after dinner.

When camping, our kitchen crew will prepare fresh meals and you will have the provision of unlimited foods, tea/ coffee, and hot water.

Communication, Gadgets charging, and Internet/wifi

NCEL and NTC SIM cards can be used for mobile communications during the trip but with an increase in altitude, the mobile reception can be sporadic. You can use the 4G service for the mobile internet when available.

As for WIFI, the accommodating lodges in Namrung, Lho, Samagaon, Samdo, Bhimthang, and Dharapani provide reliable WIFI connections at extra cost. Further, the service may not be available.

You can also charge your devices and gadgets at your accommodating tea house or lodge. We recommend taking a power bank or solar panels with you for charging at base camps.

Permits of Larke Peak Climbing

Please do not be distressed about obtaining the permits for Larke Peak climbing. Our team will process the permits on your account and the service cost is included in our tour cost. For the Larke Peak climbing, a Manaslu Conservation Area Project Permit, Trekker’s Information Management System (TIMS) card, Annapurna Conservation Area Permit, and Larke Peak climbing permit from the Nepal Mountaineering Association will be needed.

Equipment List

General Information

Great Experience of Climbing With Hill Sherpa Trekking Team

In 2017. I successfully climbed Larke Peak (Larya Peak) with Pasang sherpa. I had an amazing experience at the Larke Peak Climbing. It is not easy to climb but I did not feel hard because my sherpa climbing guide was so experienced and helped me. so I made it too, it is less possible to ascend without a sherpa team. I never expected to summit but pasang made me this trip, I am over the moon and highly recommend Hill Sherpa Trekking, particularly Pasang Sherpa.
