Pikey peak trek

Welcome to the country of the Himalayas! Upon your foot at the territory of Tribhuwan International Airport, our representatives will already be waiting for you at the airport terminal to assist and greet you with all their hearts reflecting Nepal's culture. Eventually, you will be conveyed to your respective booked hotel by the scenic drive of Kathamndu valley. So, relax, comfort your exhausted body, and taste some delicious traditional foods and drinks in your hotel. In addition, you can also do sightseeing in tourist and popular places nearby your hotel. 

We will commence our journey with an 8 to 9 hr drive from Kathmandu to Dhap; Dhap is a municipality in the Darchula district enriched with its different ethnic groups and situated on the banks of the Mahakali River. On reaching Dhap, you will witness the culture of local Brahmins and the Chhetri lifestyle.

From Dhap, we start our trekking to Japre, and eventually, we will reach the Sigane, a famous spot for exploring the view of Numbur Himal. Then, you will follow the trail leading to Japre village (2920m). Here, in Japre, you can enjoy and explore the stunning scenery of Mt Everest and Numbur Himal. There's also a little pretty stupa and gompa, where you can meditate and indulge in divine vibes. Finally, we will spend our night at Japre.

So, today we will start our journey towards the Pikey base camp, leaving the Japre village. Then, we will move ahead on the grassy ridge trail reaching Bhulbhule, a village development committee in Lamjung's district. Here, you will see a nameless lodge that shows Everest's clear and stunning view. Leaving behind the beautiful Bhulbhule village, we will continue following the trails to Pikey base camp. We will accompany the route below the Takung Danda and move through the lush forest dominated by varieties of flora and fauna.

You can also inspect the old yak houses, yaks carrying loads, and long mani stones. Especially if you are trekking in spring, you'll be able to see the colorful beauty of the forest sparkled with rhododendron flowers.

Leaving the guzzling forest behind, trekking continuously for 2 hours, we'll finally arrive at Pikey Base Camp. From here, we will take a short climb to the peak lying at an elevation of 4065m the next day. We recommend you climb the peak's summit in the morning to confront a real-life filmy sunrise scenery over the Himalayas.

This day will be one of the most memorable trips of your life as you will witness the dramatic scenery of the Himalayas changing its color from black and white to golden hues. 

We'll begin our trek early in the morning to the peak's summit with the trails full of prayer flags alongside the stunning panoramic mountain range of Mt Annapurna to Mt Kanchenjunga.   

After enjoying the eye-catching scenery from the top of the peaky peak will have to descend following the flat ridgeline, which further steepens as you enter the forest. The forest trail will lead to Jase Bhanjyang and continue our trekking towards Loding, a VDC in Solu Khumbu District.

Simultaneously, we will start trekking from Loding to Junbesi; it is named after the moon as there's a philosophy that the moon comes down below to the earth to rest. As you get ahead, you'll explore the vastness of Junbesi village riched in its beauty as it sits alongside Junbesi and Ngagyur Sergon Lungrig Sedrup Zungdelling Monastery, liberally well decorated with prayer flags and prayer wheels. 

Despite being a remote village, it offers advanced teahouse and accommodation services so you can enjoy the facilitated restaurants and lodges on your trek.

Towards the north, there lies one of the famous Thubten Choling Monastery laping on the Numbur range; you can witness the valley of Benighat and Phalpu. You will also explore the Sherpa's culture and architecture, Tibet, and Buddhism culture alongside. 

Today, we will fully explore the Thubtenchoeling Monastery, the retreat community, and a monastery established by Kyabje Trulshik Rinpoche in the 1960s. Over 900 monks and nuns live there, under Trulshik Rinpoche's care, and after visiting the monster, will get back to Junbesi.

This early morning we will hit the trail following Taksindu, crossing the river at the bottom of the town and climbing through the forest up to Salung. From Salung, you can enjoy the stunning views of Mt Everest, Mt Chamlang, and Mt Makalu, along with the gorgeous view out across the valley to Chiwong Monastery and down towards Phalpu. 

Eventually, continuing the trail, we will reach Ringmo, famous for its apple orchards such as apple "Rakshi.", cider, and apple pie. You can taste these local Nepali drinks and items. From there, we will climb to Taksindu La. Again, you can enjoy the breathtaking views of mountains. Finally, we will take a short descent to the Taksindu Monastery; make sure you go to this monastery early morning or late afternoon because it may be close at any other time. Today, we will spend our night at Taksindu, and we will hit the trail to Phalpu the following day.

Today, we will leave the main trekking route from Taksindu and follow down the path to Phalpu through the lush forest. We will also hike up to Chiwong Gompa, a famous monastery founded in 1923. You can also explore one of the best festivals celebrated there called the Mani Rimdu festival, which occurs in the autumn season. In addition, you will be delighted to see Phalpu airport, Phalpu hospital, Phalpu paramedical school, Gumbas carrying the historic beauty and culture of past Phalpu civilization. 

Continuing down to Phalpu, celebrate the joy of trekking completion withholding one of the best experiences of your life.

As scheduled, today we will leave back our beautiful journey of Peaky peak behind and catch a scenic flight from Phalpu to Kathmandu. Finally, we will spend the night in Kathmandu and have a farewell dinner.

Today you will depart Nepal behind and travel back to your home nation. Our representative shall escort and transfer you to the International airport 3 hours before your flight time.
