The Larkya La-Pass, which
cuts behind the Manaslu massif, is one of the magnificent routes, which
offers some of the finest trekking in the Himalayan wilderness. From Gorkha,
the old capital of the most powerful king of Nepal, you trek up the wild
Burr Gandaki River, through rough gorges slicing between Himalchuli (7890m.)
a Ganesh (7429m). The trails are steep but your first sight of the classic
peak of Manaslu (8156) dissolve the fatigue, and the Buddhist prayer flags
and Chortens seem to offer spiritual support as you climb towards your
goal-Larry La Pass (5153). The Manaslu and the neighboring peaks are worth
the effort, and time is spent on the pass taking photos or just preserving
the scene in your mind’s eye. A steep descent into the Marshyandi Valley
is rewarded with a delightful walk back along the river through small villages
and cross over the throng La Pass (5418m) and approaching to the Kaligandaki
valley, ending the trek in Jomsom.
