Pikey Peak Trek

Your Pikey Peak Trek adventure begins with your arrival in Kathmandu. After meeting your guide at the airport, you'll transfer to your hotel to rest and prepare for the trek ahead. In the evening, your guide will brief you on the trek and answer any questions you may have.

On day 2, we'll have an early breakfast at our hotel in Kathmandu and then start our journey to Dhap. We'll be driving along the B.P. Highway, which is famous for its scenic views of the Sun Koshi River.

After crossing the river, we'll begin driving uphill to reach Okhaldhunga. The road from here is relatively smooth and makes for a comfortable drive. We'll continue on this route until we reach Dhap, which will take around 6-7 hours.

Once we arrive in Dhap, we'll check into a local teahouse where we'll be staying overnight. The teahouse will provide us with basic but comfortable accommodation, as is typical of teahouses in the Himalayan region.

In the evening, we'll have dinner at the teahouse and prepare for the next day's trekking. Your guide will give you a briefing about the trek and answer any questions you may have. This is a good opportunity to get to know your fellow trekkers and to get a feel for the adventure that lies ahead.

The trail from Dhap to Jhapre is relatively easy and follows a gradual uphill climb. Along the way, we'll pass through beautiful rhododendron forests and small villages, where we'll have the opportunity to interact with the locals and learn about their culture.

As we approach Jhapre, we'll start to see stunning views of the Himalayas, including Mount Everest, Lhotse, and Makalu. We'll spend the night in a local teahouse in Jhapre, where we'll enjoy a warm meal and get a good night's rest in preparation for the next day's trek.

The trail from Jhapre to Pikey Base Camp is a bit more challenging than the previous day, with steeper uphill climbs and rocky terrain. However, the stunning views of the Himalayas make the effort well worth it.

As we approach the Pikey Base Camp, we'll start to see panoramic views of the Himalayas, including Mount Everest, Nuptse, Lhotse, and Makalu. We'll also see the Pikey Peak, which is named after a Sherpa deity and is considered one of the best viewpoints in the region.

We'll spend the night at a teahouse in the Pikey Base Camp, where we'll enjoy a warm meal and rest up for the next day's trek. This will be our highest point on the trek, so it's important to take it easy and acclimatize to the altitude.

On day 5 of the Pikey Peak Trek, we will trek from Pikey Peak Base Camp to Chaulakharka via Pikey Peak. This will be a challenging day of trekking, as we will ascend to the summit of Pikey Peak and then descend to Chaulakharka.

We will need to pace ourselves and take plenty of breaks along the way. However, the stunning views from the top of Pikey Peak will make it all worth it. From the summit, we will be able to see Mount Everest, Makalu, Lhotse, Kanchenjunga, and other snow-capped peaks. We will spend the night in a local teahouse in Chaulakharka.

We'll begin our descent from Chaulakharka towards Shivalaya. The trek on this day starts with a steep ascent to Bhandar, a small Sherpa village. From here, the trail continues up to Deurali pass at 3700m, which offers spectacular views of the valley, the river, and Pikey Peak. We'll take some time to soak in the views before continuing on our descent.

The trail then drops steeply down and eventually levels out until we reach Shivalaya, a big village where we'll spend the night in a local teahouse. Shivalaya is also where we'll catch our ride back to Kathmandu the next day. We'll pass through several small villages along the way and get to experience the local culture and way of life.

We'll bid farewell to the Himalayas and drive back to Kathmandu. We'll pass through several small towns and villages along the way and get to see more of Nepal's beautiful landscapes.

Once we reach Kathmandu, we'll check into our hotel and freshen up before heading out for a farewell dinner. This will be a chance for us to celebrate the completion of our trek and reflect on the incredible experiences we've had over the past week. We'll enjoy some delicious Nepali cuisine and perhaps even try some local drinks. This will be our final night in Nepal, so we'll make sure to make it a memorable one.

We'll say our final goodbyes in Kathmandu as our amazing trek to Pikey Peak comes to an end. After breakfast, our representatives will drop you off at the airport in time for your flight. We hope that you've had a wonderful time exploring the beautiful Himalayas of Nepal with us.

As you depart, we wish you all the best for your future adventures and travels. We hope that you'll keep the memories of your time in Nepal close to your heart and return to this beautiful country someday to explore more of its natural beauty and rich culture. Thank you for choosing Himalaya Land Treks as your travel partner, and we hope to see you again soon!
