Lama's pika, Ochotona lama, was described by Mitchell and Punzo in 1975 and is on the Nepal list of mammals. No source found describes its range, elevation or habitat in detail (Mammal Diversity Database and related accounts).
The nearest documented relative is the Himalayan pika, which lives among rocks, screes, walls and cliffs near coniferous forest at 2,400 to 4,200m on the northern side of the Himalaya. Several pika species overlap in the Himalaya and Tibet (related species accounts).
