Larkye Peak lies in the Manaslu conservation area, on the north of Manaslu peak. It is visible from the northeast along the Manaslu Circuit trekking. It's called Larky or Larke or Lakye peak.
The Larkye peak was first climbed by Archil Badriashvili, Giorgi Tepnadze, Bakar Gelashvili on 27/09/2021 AD (11/06/2078 BS).
The main attraction of Larky peak is the panoramic view of the Himalayas including Manaslu, Himlung Himal, Ganesh Himal and Annapurna ranges along with other Tibetan ranges.
Caravan trekking route starts from Aarughat but now a day seasonal road to Sotikhola or you can drive Machha Khola. The road plan to join in Tibet so that every year can drive further. It is possible to start from Besisahar or drive to Dharapani and start trekking to Larkye pass. The total length: 73.8KM through Besi Shahar, 137.5KM through Dhading Besi.
Larkye Peak needs to fix the high camp, so our experience Sherpa fix the high camp and next day we push to the summit. The climbing route length: 5.4KM.
