Pikey Peak Trek

Upon arrival in Kathmandu, the capital city of Nepal, our representative will be waiting at the airport for your welcome. Then board a private vehicle and be transferred to your hotel. Check into your hotel and rest after your journey. There will be a briefing session about your Pikey Peak Trek.

Depending on your arrival time, you may have the opportunity to explore ancient temples and vibrant markets and experience the unique atmosphere of Nepalese urban life.

After having breakfast, you will start your journey by driving to Dhap. The route traces the Sunkoshi River, which merges with the Tama Koshi River a little way into our trip, creating the large Koshi River until it reaches Ghurmi. The ride to Dhap takes around 7 hours through picturesque landscapes, charming villages, and dense forests of rhododendron. After crossing several settlements, you will reach Dhap, a traditional Sherpa village.

The Pikey Peak Trek starts on foot. Today, you will follow the trail along the dusty road towards Sigane. The trail passes through the rhododendron forests, crosses suspension bridges over glistening rivers, and offers glimpses of the Himalayan peaks. Upon reaching Jhapre, another sherpa village, you can have a clear view of both the Numbur Himal and Mount Everest (8848 m).

You will continue your Pikey Peak Trek to Base Camp by ascending to Bhulbule. From here, the trail becomes steeper and passes through alpine meadows and yak pastures, offering stunning views of the surrounding mountains. Then, you will cross the long Mani wall and ascend Pikey Base Camp via a difficult path. You can also visit the Yak Cheese Factory, where we can taste the delicious cheese while looking at the incredible views of the majestic mountains that surround the valley.

Early in the morning, you will hike to Pikey Peak for a breathtaking sunrise over the Himalayas. From the top of Pikey Peak, you can witness the incredible views of Mt. Everest, Number Himal, Mt. Thamserku, Mt. Makalu, Mt. Kanchenjunga, Mt. Manaslu, Gaurishankar Himal, Dorje Lakpa, and Mt. Langtang. After witnessing the panoramic views from the top, you will descend back to base camp for breakfast and move towards Junbesi. The trail towards Junbesi crosses various mani walls and chortens with stunning views of Number Himal.

You will explore the Junbsei and experience the unique culture and tradition of the Sherpa community. You can hike to Thuptenchholing Gompa, which was established in the 19th century. The gompa provides deep insights into the culture and religious heritage of the region. You can also explore the surrounding village and learn about their culture and lifestyle.

After exploring Junbesi, you will drive to Kathmandu via a private vehicle. The ride takes you through picturesque landscapes, charming villages, and dense forests of rhododendron. Then you will trace the route of the Sub-Koshi River to reach Kathmandu. The drive takes about 8 hours. After reaching Kathmandu, you will be escorted towards the hotel and rest.
