Heavy rain and landslides have rendered Larke Pass in Gorkha completely impassable, officials said on 30 September 2026. Former ward member Nima Dorje, who also served as a former ward member, described how vehicles heading to Samagaun and Samdo are now stranded, with the road blocked at multiple points along the Manaslu trail. Dorje warned that if the pass remains closed for several more days, food supplies could run low in the remote villages. She highlighted that the only viable supply route to Samagaun and Samdo now passes through the blocked pass, and the recent snowfall has worsened the situation. The closure comes during the high tourist season, when hundreds of domestic and foreign trekkers normally use the pass. Local hotel owners, guides and porters reported that their livelihoods are severely affected, as tourists are unable to continue their journeys. In response, local business groups and the Chumnubri hotel owners' association have sent letters to the district administration, the municipality and the tourism association, requesting urgent clearance and safe reopening of the pass. Authorities have not yet announced a timeline for clearing the debris, but the situation remains critical for both the local economy and the safety of trekkers in the region.
