Summit Larkya Peak!

26-Oct-2019

I recently completed the Larkya Peak with Manaslu Circuit Trek and it exceeded my expectations! The guides and porters were absolutely incredible, full of knowledge, positivity and laughs. The Scenery was out of this world, I really enjoyed the change in landscape from day to day; some days we were walking through forests, others through villages and others amongst the clouds. We were also super lucky with the weather and my fellow travelers really made the trip exceptional. The food was always generous and delicious and all the accommodation was comfortable, especially the campsites. Thank your sherpa Expedition and Trekking Team!

Bredly

Hard work but worth it !!

11-Apr-2018

We had book the Larkya peak Climb in April this year with Sherpa Expedition and Trekking. It was an amazing experience and we were well looked after. The days at lower altitudes were a great warm-up for what was ahead. Now I must admit due to altitude sickness I only made it as far as Base Camp, but considering I had never even see snowfall, let alone try to summit a mountain before I was pretty impressed by my effort. We come from the driest state in the driest continent! The views were breathtaking and the trail was nowhere near as crowded as our previous treks in Everest and Annapurna. I would have given 5 stars had I made it to the summit. But hey there's always next time.

Tanya
