Pikey Peak Trek
Pikey Peak Trek
Everest Region
Overview
The Pikey Peak Treks is one of Nepal’s most beautiful and easy-to-manage short hikes. The trail usually starts after departing from Kathmandu and going to Dhap by transport.
The trekking route takes us through villages like Jhapre and Bulbule, and then we arrive at the Pikey Peak base camp, where we begin our climb to the Pikey Peak summit at 4065 m altitude.
After the ascent comes the descent; we trek down to Jase Bhanjyang and Junbesi. To end our trekking journey, we head to Phaplu, where we will be flying back to Kathmandu. Drive back to Kathmandu but there is not regular flight so people prepare to back to by jeep.
