Pikey Peak Trek

The first day marks your arrival day in Kathmandu. Clear all the visa requirements and customs clearance, if any, at the arrival section of the airport. As you come out, you will find a representative from World Alpine Treks waiting for you holding a board with your name. You will then be transferred to your hotel in Kathmandu. The representative will shortly inform you about the plans ahead

Start early from Kathmandu and enjoy a full-day drive through the rolling hills and traditional villages of eastern Nepal. The journey covers approximately 250 km and takes 8–9 hours via Okhaldhunga. The road is smooth until Okhaldhunga, after which it becomes rugged and mountainous. Dhap, located at around 2,900 meters, is a small settlement offering basic lodges—perfect for acclimatizing before beginning the Pikey Peak trek.

From Dhap, we follow a trail that will lead us to Jhapre. It's around a six-hour walk along a scenic route to Jhapre. We traverse through the wonderful forests of wild orchids and rhododendron along the Solu Okhaldhunga to Jhapre. Even today, you will come across different Buddhist stupas and monasteries. Upon arrival, you will be accommodated at a guesthouse in Jhapre.

We start our day with a pleasing view of sunrise amidst the mountains. After sunrise, we enjoy our breakfast at the hotel and start ascending gradually along the lush forests of rhododendron and pine to Bulbule. From Bulbule, we walk uphill for around one hour, which is followed by a gentle walk to the village of Lamachaya. Leaving the village, we continue uphill until we open up to Pikey base camp. There is only a countable number of households in the base camp. A cheese factory along the way is an interesting place to visit. We reach the base camp by evening. We can enjoy some glorious views of sunset over the mountains of Langtang Himal, Ganesh Himal, Manaslu, and Annapurna Himal from the base camp. 

Today is the most beautiful day of our entire trekking journey. We wake up with the views of picturesque mountains and grasslands all around. Early in the morning, we climb up the Pikey peak, which is a challenging part of our journey. From the top, we will be able to witness some astounding views of the mountains. After enjoying the views of the mountains from the top, we drop down with wonderful views of the Himalayan landscapes in sight. We can see yaks grazing in the vast meadows along the trail. If interested, you can taste the pure yak milk here. We continue through the trail until we reach Jase Bhanjyang, which is our destination for the day. 

We can relish the wonderful views of Everest and other surrounding peaks in the morning. After breakfast, we leave Jase Bhanjyang and drop down to the Junbesi valley. It’s a wonderful walk along the pristine environment to Junbesi.  We walked for around eight hours today. It’s the longest walking day, but a memorable one as we will be walking through the old Everest trail. We wrap up our day with a delicious dinner at our guesthouse in Junbesi.

We wake up with a positive aura within the pristine environment at Junbesi. In the morning, we explore the village and visit Thuptenchholing monastery. We even observe a unique Tibetan medicinal therapy at the village. After that, we drop down the trail to Phalpu. It’s around a six-hour walk through the forests and Sherpa villages. Tonight at a guesthouse in Phaplu

Early in the morning, we start a drive from Phaplu to the capital city of Kathmandu. Upon arrival, you will be transferred to a hotel in Kathmandu. Check into the hotel, and you can enjoy the rest of the time on your own. 

Before few hours before your scheduled flight, you will be transferred to the international terminal of Tribhuwan International Airport.
