Pikey Peak Trek Overview

Guess the trek that offers the breathtaking views of Everest at comparatively low cost, without the heavy crowd and extreme altitudes of traditional routes? If your answer was Pikey Peak Trek, you are absolutely right !!!

​This trek through the lower Everest region comes with an easy and well-maintained trail, making it accessible all year round.

​Furthermore, this entire trip is road-based, which helps you avoid flight delays and keep the cost manageable.

​Talking about the altitude, at max you will go up to Pikey Peak, which stands at 4,065m. But the coolest part is when you reach the summit, you can witness eight of Nepal’s eight-thousanders from one single location.

​Additionally, Pikey Peak is also quite famous for its mesmerizing sunrise and sunset views. As the golden rays touch the snow-capped peaks, they paint the Himalayas in a stunning blend of colors, making the entire range look nothing short of heavenly.

No wonder! Pikey Peak was Sir Edmund Hillary’s favorite spot to view Everest.

Besides witnessing nature’s gift, this trek can also immerse you in the Sherpa’s cultures and traditions. The name Pikey itself is derived from the Sherpa clan’s deity “Pikey Lhapu Karpo” or “Chyabo Pikey“.

In fact, in July/August, the local sherpas even gather to celebrate the Pikey Peak Festival to worship their clan god.

While walking through the villages like Junbesi and Jhapre, you will experience the authentic Sherpa’s day-to-day life and learn their centuries-old customs.

Furthermore, visiting culturally important monasteries like Thupten Chholing is going to make your entire experience peaceful.

Early in the morning of day 2, we will begin our journey towards Pikey Peak.

This 240 km drive takes around 7 to 9 hours, depending on the season.

Beginning from Kathmandu, we will follow a path through places like Dhulikhel, Khurkot, Ghurmi, Okhaldhunga, and finally reach Dhap Bazaar.

During this scenic drive through B.P. Highway, you will see the Sunkoshi River valley, terraced Hillsides, and the shift from busy city life to peaceful highland communities.

The major setback for today will be the motion sickness caused by the long and winding roads of the B.P. highway.

Today, the highest altitude will be Dhap at 2,850 m. After reaching Dhap, you can visit local markets and experience the first taste of Himalayan Culture.

By the end of the day, you would have faced the elevation gain of 1,500 m.

This 13 km trek will take you approximately 5-6 hours, which includes rest stops for photos and snacks.

Starting from Dhap Bazaar at 2,850m, you’ll initially follow an unpaved dirt road.

Don’t worry! The first 30 minutes are quite comfortable as you get your trekking legs warmed up.

Then, our route will take you through the charming village of Sigane (via Tapting), located about 6km from Dhap. This will be our lunch stop.

But here’s where things get exciting! As we continue towards Phokte Danda ridgeline, we’ll be treated to your first clear views of the mighty Mount Everest and the spectacular Numbur Himal range.

Then, as you approach Jhapre village, the authentic Sherpa culture becomes more evident. You’ll see traditional stone houses, Buddhist stupas, and the peaceful way of life that has remained unchanged for centuries.

Upon reaching Jhapre at 2,920m, you can also visit the beautiful Buddhist Gompa (monastery) in the village.

Additionally, if we arrive at Jhapre before sunset, we can also head north to a sunset viewpoint. The view of the sunset from there is actually magical!!

Today’s trek is considered easy to moderate, helping you get accustomed to high-altitude trekking. The net elevation gain is only about 70m, so altitude shouldn’t be a concern.

Breakfast/Lunch/Dinner

After an early breakfast at Jhapre, we’ll start our journey towards Pikey Peak Base Camp. The initial part follows a gradual climb through grassy ridges, allowing your legs time to warm up.

Our first major stop will be Bhulbhule at 3,320m, located about 6-7 km from Jhapre. Here, you’ll find some lodges offering spectacular Everest range views.

But here’s where things get really exciting! As we continue through Lhamuje at 3,500m, you’ll walk through dense rhododendron forests that create tunnel-like trails.

The trail then takes us to Samsing Bhanjyang, where you’ll witness broad yak grazing pastures with actual yaks roaming.

You’ll also see abandoned antique yak herder’s cottages and a large mani wall that tells stories of centuries-old Himalayan traditions.

While continuing our journey, we’ll pass by a Swiss-established cheese factory from decades ago as well.

As we approach Pikey Peak Base Camp at 3,640m, the landscape becomes more dramatic with rocky terrain and switchbacks. However, views of Langtang Himal, Annapurna Range, Manaslu, and Ganesh Himal do help you in creating a memory of a lifetime.

Talking about difficulty, today’s trek is moderately challenging with a significant elevation gain of 720 meters. The steepest section comes after Lhamuje.

By evening, you’ll be settled at base camp, ready for tomorrow’s early morning summit push to Pikey Peak.

After a quick breakfast and some hot tea, we’ll start our pre-dawn climb around 4:00-4:30 AM from Jhapre. After climbing for 2 to 3 hours through the rhododendron forest, we will reach Lhamuje Ridge.

Then, we continue to Samsing Bhanjyang pasture, where you might spot some early-rising yaks in their grazing grounds. The mani walls and prayer stones become more frequent here, reminding you that you’re approaching something truly sacred.

And then finally, you reach Pikey Peak summit at 4,065m, just before sunrise, 

Just imagine witnessing eight of Nepal’s eight-thousanders from one single spot. Mount Everest, Lhotse, Makalu, Kanchenjunga, Annapurna, Manaslu; from this spot, you will see it all. 

After spending 30-45 minutes at the summit, we’ll begin our descent to Jasmane Bhanjyang at 3,530m. The descent follows switchback paths down grassy slopes and takes about 3-4 hours.

Today involves a significant elevation gain of 1,145m to the summit, making it moderately challenging. However, the best part is that the rapid descent to Jasmane Bhanjyang helps your body recover quickly from the altitude.

Starting from Jasmane Bhanjyang at 3,530m, you’ll enjoy a net descent of about 830 meters! However, keep in mind that descents can be tough on the knees.

Around midday, we’ll reach Taktor, the junction with the classic Jiri to Everest Base Camp route. This is a perfect lunch stop with better lodge facilities, and you might even meet trekkers heading to or returning from EBC!

But the real highlight of today comes when we arrive in Junbesi at 2,700m – a home to the famous Thupten Choling Monastery, established in 1968 as a living center of Buddhist practice.

What makes this monastery special? It houses both monks and nuns, and if we’re lucky, we might witness some of their daily rituals and ceremonies. 

After the physical challenge of summit day, today feels like a gentle reward – easier terrain, and the chance to get into Himalayan culture.

Useful Information

Best Time For Pikey Peak Trek

Pikey Peak trek is possible all year round. However, one has to realize that difficulty isn’t the same in every season. While Spring and Monsoon are perfect, Monsoon and Winter come with a bigger threat than one can discover.

During the Monsoon, the trails become slippery. Even the descent back to Kathmandu becomes relatively hard.

In fact, due to the landslides, we can see much more delays during the Monsoon.

On the other hand, winter comes with a cold that only a few can handle. Even some local teahouses close off during this season. Due to the fog, viewing the mountains becomes harder.

However, Spring and Autumn come with clear mornings. The weather is also bearable during this time of year. In fact, you can see all the rhododendron blooming this season.

Here is the quick summary on the best season for Pikey Peak trek as per their ranking:

  1. Spring (Mar-May): Rhododendron blooms and clear mornings
  2. Autumn (Sep-Nov): Post-monsoon clarity and biggest panoramas
  3. Winter (Dec-Feb): Crisp skies but colder nights
  4. Monsoon (Jun-Aug): Not recommended due to rain and limited views

You’ll need to carry printed copies of your permits during the trek, as checkpoints are located at Dhap Bazaar, Salleri, Junbesi, and various trailheads. 

But don’t worry!! We provide you with all necessary copies and guide you through any checkpoint procedures.

Packing List For Pikey Peak Trek

Pikey Peak Trek Difficulty and Preparation

Pikey Peak, though suited for beginners, is graded as moderate in difficulty. Even though the elevation gain isn’t as high as that of Everest Base Camp, Annapurna Base Camp, or Manaslu Circuit Trek, you still have to go up and above 4000 m.

Furthermore, during each day of your trek, you need to hike for 5 to 7 hours.

However, in this itinerary of ours, we have attempted to allow for natural acclimatization by ensuring that you won’t be sleeping above 4,000 m.

With that being said, one shouldn’t take the mountain lightly. So, before the trek, we advise you to take weekly hikes on the local hills or do some cardio and leg workouts.

If you prepare your body with these exercises, this 8-day trek will feel like an achievable adventure.

Health And Safety Guide For Pikey Peak Trek

During the 4th and 5th days of the Pikey Peak trek, we must ascend above 3000 m, which poses a risk of altitude sickness.

However, compared to other treks, the elevation gain is actually low, which does minimize the effect of AMS a little. Nevertheless, one can’t ignore the threats posed by the Himalayas at this altitude.

So, to be completely safe, we advise you to do a normal health check-up before planning the trek.

Even when everything is clear, you need to be insured, as at times you might have to opt for the emergency helicopter evacuation.

Besides that, even during the trek, we advise you to contact the guide whenever the symptoms of AMS appear. Our well-experienced guides are actually trained to handle these kinds of situations. But, they mightn’t be able to help you if you don’t inform them in time.

Additionally, with an aim of keeping you safe, our guides do monitor your situation before each day of the trek. They also keep a close eye on your pace and symptoms.

Furthermore, to minimize any other health risks, we recommend drinking 3 to 5 liters of water daily. This act keeps you hydrated and helps you to energize.

Apart from all this, we also provide you with some seasonal fruits during your trek to maintain your glucose level.

Pro Health Tip: Avoid excessive intake of caffeine and alcoholic beverages in the Himalayas, as it may lead to difficulty breathing. 

Nature, Wildlife And Culture Of Pikey Peak

Pikey Peak lies on the lower side of the Khumbu region, where rare plants and animals typically flourish.

In fact, if you travel to this region during autumn, the mesmerizing smells of flowers like Rhododendron and wild orchids will make you fall in love with this region.

From the very start, you will start finding local yaks wandering around the yak gaze.

Then, when you go above 2500 m, you will start noticing animals like the Red Panda, the Musk Deer, and the Himalayan Tahr.

Besides that, at altitudes above 3500m, you will notice birds like the Blood Pheasant. Kalij Pheasant and Golden Eagle.

However, if you are a florophile, you are in luck as visiting this region will let you explore the rare flowers like Primroses, Magnolias, Edelweiss, Gentians, and Himalayan Blue Poppy.

But wait!! Besides nature, the culture of this region also holds importance.

This is the region where most of the Sherpas reside.

It is home to monasteries like Thupten Choling, where monks and nuns have resided together for many years.

Then, there is Chiwong Monastery in Phaplu, which has existed since the 19th century and serves as a hub for Buddhist learning and cultural preservation.

Besides that, there are cultural monuments like Jhapre Gompa and Junbesi village, where the mani walls, chortens, and prayer flags give you the knowledge of rich Buddhist culture.

Accomodaton, Meals And Other Charges In Pikey Peak Trek

The usual accommodation in the Pikey Peak trek is going to be Teahouses.

Teahouses are locally family-run lodges with the availability of basic facilities.

Here are the things that you can expect in Pikey Peak’s teahouses:

  • Shared rooms with basic hygiene
  • Clean twin beds
  • Shared bathrooms
  • Wood-heated kitchen areas (bedrooms aren’t heated)
  • Basic meals.

Now, let’s talk a little about the meals you will be getting.

If you want to fully immerse yourself in Nepali culture, you can always opt for meals like Dal Bhat, Momos, Sherpa Stew, and some noodles.

However, the meals are available as per your liking. Even the normal meals from Italy, France, and America are available in this region.

Then, during your trek, you might need some snacks. Before buying the snacks, you need to consider the fact that all of it is carried up in the Himalayas. So, the prices of your favorite snacks might be a bit higher than usual.

Now let’s talk about your personal amenities.

For every other amenity, such as hot showers, Wi-Fi, and phone charging, you need to pay an extra fee.

The average cost of each amenity is given below:

  • Wi-Fi: $5–12/day
  • Hot shower: $5–7/use
  • Device charging: $3–5/session

Pro Tip: It’s better to carry your own power bank and pack your snacks from Kathmandu, as the cost of snacks will be a bit cheaper. This also helps in budget traveling.

A journey to remember We had the best time travelling in Nepal. We did the ABC trek with Eco Nepal, and everything was well-organized and flexible to our needs. A huge thank you to our tour guide Kiran, our porter Upindra, and our organizer Pempa for making the whole journey so smooth. 100% recommended if you’re planning to trek in Nepal.

Annapurna Base Camp Trek We did the total 14 days tour package with the Eco Nepal Trekkers. It went very smooth from arrival to Kathmandu and during the trekking. Pemba is well organized and very flexible with our preferred dates. They booked nice hotels, and comfortable transport. Kiran and Upandra were reliable, stand-up guys, taking care of us during the trekking. Kiran is well knowledge with the trek and mountains. Always informing us the next day plans, and checking for AMS, oxygen saturation etc. All the accommodation and food were amazing during the trek. This is a family business and they treat you like a family member. I would recommend Eco Nepal Trekkers to anyone who wants to experience Himalayans Trekking in Nepal.

Best local trekking company in Nepal!! An increadible journey!..and the Best local company in Nepal. I did the EBC + Chola Pass + Gokyo Lakes. Pemba (owner) customised my trip and took care of everything! I had a great guide Prayash who really helped me through the trek and gave me lots of knowlege and stories of the Everest region. I have been to mountains of Europe/USA/ NZ but the raw beaty of the Himalayas is something special. The physical challenge of altitude, the tea houses, high bridge crossings, Sherpa culture and all the fellow trekkers and climbers make this trip so unique. It has been a highlight of my life and i was fortunate to go with a local company who are genuinely passionate about sharing the Himalayas with you. Also at end of trek they organised sightseeing tours. I was also able to contribute to the companies charity in a small way some by donating some stationary and sports equipment to a mountain school. If you are going to Nepal i would highly recommend Pemba and his team of guides. I will be back! Namastae

Unvergessliche Trekking-Erfahrung mit Eco Nepal Trekkers and Expedition Meine Tour mit Eco Nepal Trekkers and Expeditions war von Anfang bis Ende ein echtes Highlight. Schon vor der Reise war die Kommunikation mit Herrn Pemba Tamang perfekt organisiert: schnell, freundlich, flexibel und absolut zuverlässig. Dadurch fühlte ich mich bereits vor meiner Ankunft bestens betreut. Auf dem Trail selbst war mein größtes Glück mein Porterguide Dil. Er trug mein Gepäck, zeigte mir wunderschöne Aussichtspunkte und begleitete mich mit seiner positiven, ruhigen und unglaublich respektvollen Art. Da ich untrainiert gestartet bin und langsamer unterwegs war, war seine Geduld für mich unbezahlbar. Dann kam ein unerwarteter Wintereinbruch – und genau in solchen Momenten zeigt sich, wie wertvoll ein wirklich guter Guide ist. Dil hat mit Umsicht, Erfahrung und perfekter Organisation dafür gesorgt, dass die Passüberquerung sicher war und der gesamte Weg trotz Schnee und Kälte ein unvergesslich schöner Teil meiner Reise blieb. Ich habe mich bei ihm jederzeit sicher, gut aufgehoben und wertgeschätzt gefühlt. Für alle, die eine liebevolle, professionelle und zuverlässige Trekking-Erfahrung in Nepal suchen: Ich kann Eco Nepal Trekkers and Expeditions uneingeschränkt empfehlen.

Well deserved 5 stars review for arranging our 14 days ABC Trek in November 2025. Fair price and high quality support. Great accommodations, and food throughout the journey. Most importantly, thanks Pemba for being flexible and thorough detailed organizing the trip. Special thanks to our guide Kiran and Upandra for taking care of us, and sharing knowledge of Himalayans mountains during the trek. Highly recommended for anyone who wants a hassle free Trekking in Nepal.

Fantastische Erfahrung! Die Organisation meiner Reise mit Eco Nepal Trekkers and Expeditions unter der Leitung von Herrn Pemba Tamang war von Anfang an hervorragend. Die Kommunikation auf Englisch – per E-Mail oder WhatsApp – war stets schnell, zuverlässig und sehr freundlich, sodass ich meine Planung problemlos anpassen konnte. Mein besonderer Dank gilt meinem Porterguide Dil. Er hat mich während der gesamten Wanderung mit großer Geduld, Hilfsbereitschaft und Respekt begleitet, mein Gepäck getragen, schöne Fotospots gezeigt und mich motiviert, auch wenn ich langsamer unterwegs war als andere. Trotz eines unerwarteten Wintereinbruchs fühlte ich mich durch seine umsichtige und verantwortungsvolle Art jederzeit sicher und bestens betreut. Ich kann Eco Nepal Trekkers and Expeditions und das gesamte Team uneingeschränkt weiterempfehlen!
