Larkya La (Larke Pass), at about 5,106 m, is the highest point of the Manaslu Circuit. Trekkers cross it in a long day from Dharamsala (Larkya Phedi) to Bimthang, with views of Himlung, Cheo Himal and Annapurna II.
Quick answer: Start before dawn; the crossing takes 8–10 hours. Snow can close the pass in winter and early spring.
