21 iron marking poles have been added in the Larkepass area. Santosh Sherchan, head of Manaslu Conservation Area (MCAP), said that signal poles have been added in the area from Dharamshala to Bhimthan in Manang for the convenience of tourists passing through Larke Pass.
Signposts have been placed to make it easier for hikers to find their way. "Since it is a snowy area, we have added signposts to make it easier for tourists to find their way. The position of the snowpost will tell you how much snow has frozen, so the danger level can also be understood," Sherchan said. Altitude is also kept.'
Sherchan said that height is also written on 26 poles. Earlier there were 81 signal poles in the Larkepass area. He says that 6 of them have been repaired.
21 signal polls were added last fiscal year. "Some poles were also fallen, we repaired such poles, with the addition of 21, now there are 108 signal poles in the Larkepass area," he said. With the help of
marking poles, it is easy for tourists to reach their destination during snowfall. He said that although the condition of other poles in the Larkepass area, which has seen an increase in the number of tourists recently, needs to be checked and repaired, it will continue this year. Sherchan said that 442,000 was spent on placing signal poles and footprints in the Manaslu area last financial year.
15 signal poles are planned to be added in the Larkepass area this year as well. He said that preparations have been made to place 35 footprints and 8 location words in Manaslu area. Last financial year, 14 footprints were added in Nubri area, 5 in Chum area, 1 each in Gumpul and Film.
'This year, we are planning to add a pole to tell the altitude when adding footprints and signal poles,' he said.
