Itinerary

Pikey Peak Trek is an insider’s Himalayan secret—less traveled, yet offering panoramic views of Everest, Annapurna, and Kanchenjunga. This journey begins with a scenic drive from Kathmandu to Dhap Bazaar, winding through remote villages before reaching Pikey Base Camp. Ascend the sacred summit, cherished by Buddhists and open to trekkers of all backgrounds, then descend to Junbesi and return by air to Kathmandu. Ideal for young adults and experienced hikers seeking something off the beaten path, this trek’s unique selling point is its rare combination of manageable altitude, spectacular vistas, and authentic cultural encounters, making it a rewarding alternative to Nepal’s more crowded trails.
