ПОХОД НА ПАЙКИ ПИК

Our Bold Himalaya representative will pick you up from Tribhuvan International Airport, Kathmandu. Drive to the hotel, check in, and walk around the city—evening briefing on the trek, preparation, and packing for the trek.

Today we drive from Kathmandu to Dhap after breakfast at the hotel. The drive leads through the B.P. Highway and follows the Sunkoshi River until Ghurmi. After Ghurmi, the road leads to a higher elevation, passing through Rhododendron, cedar, and pine forests and driving past numerous settlements.

This drive offers the waterfall, terraced fields, stream, and beautiful views, and we will finally reach Dhap Bazar. Walk around the local market and town. Overnight stay in a guest house.

The track rapidly departs from the road, leading you through a forest of vividly colored rhododendrons, white sub-alpine flowers, and limitless vistas of the foothills of the world's largest mountain range.

 The trekking route follows a few hours of construction road passing through Sigane village. On the trek, you will encounter Mount Everest, Numbur Himal, and the white mountains.

The valleys are steep-sided, with terraced rice and vegetable farms cut into the hillsides, and it is here that you will enjoy traveling through Sherpa country. The day comprises 5-6 hours of walking on peaceful pathways.

We soon arrive at Jhapre (2,920 m/9,580 ft), positioned over a deep valley with great views of Everest and the Numbur Himal. Here is your overnight stop, and there's a lovely tiny gompa and stupa here. Overnight is spent in the peaceful alpine village of Jhaphre.

Following Jhapre, the trail starts with the morning views of the Himalayas and ascends to a grassy slope at Bhulbhule. There is one unnamed lodge with wonderful views of the mountain summit from here. Just beyond Bhulbhule, the trail forks, and you'll turn right to Pikey Peak.

You'll see several old yak houses and an enlarged Mani Wall. The walk circuits the slope of Taklung Danda and passes through a beautiful woodland trail. There are numerous rhododendrons on the trail (which will be in blossom if you hike in the spring). Allowing for the forest, it is a short hike to Pikey Peak base camp, two hours distant. It's only a short hike from here to the peak at 4,065 m / 13,336 ft. Unless you have a very clear evening, it is best to hike to the peak in the morning for dawn.

Start the day early with a pre-dawn hike toward Pikey Peak (4,065 m) to catch the spectacular sunrise over the Himalayas. As the sky begins to brighten, the surrounding peaks gradually come into view, creating one of the most memorable moments of the trek. After spending some time at the summit, descend back to the trail and continue through beautiful alpine landscapes, rhododendron and pine forests.

The trail then leads toward Junbesi Village, one of the most beautiful Sherpa settlements in the Solu region. Enjoy the peaceful surroundings, traditional houses, mountain views, and rich Sherpa culture as you make your way into the village. After arriving in Junbesi, check into your teahouse and relax after a rewarding day in the mountains.

Begin the day by going down the ridgeline to Jase Bhanjyang for breakfast. After that, there are several alternatives for the descent to Junbesi. The most likely is a visually appealing shortcut path that exits the ridge shortly after Jase and descends steeply through magnificent old-growth woodland to Traktor. This path connects with the Jiri-bound Everest Base Camp trek.

The tea houses from here are a little nicer, and you'll meet some other trekkers for the first time. Junbesi is about a 2-hour hike over a lovely track. Junbesi, a historic Sherpa settlement at an elevation of 2675 m/8776 ft, is the birthplace of Sherpa culture and architecture.

The Solukhumbu Valley is considered sacred by the Sherpas. Buddhism thrives in this isolated region of Nepal near the Tibetan border, and there are various Buddhist monasteries along the journey. Excursion to Thupten Chholing Monastery in the afternoon.

We’ll start the day with a hearty breakfast in Junbesi Village before heading toward Phaplu. Today’s trail is gentle, winding through terraced fields, pine and rhododendron forests, and quiet Sherpa settlements. Along the way, notice the daily life of the villagers, farmers tending to yaks, children walking to school, and small prayer shrines tucked along the trail.

After arriving in Phaplu, a quaint town with a small airstrip and local markets, you’ll check into a comfortable tea house or lodge.

We'll bid the Mountains farewell and return to Kathmandu. The road leads us out of the Solu Khumbu, across the great Sun Kosi river, which has its sources in Tibet hundreds of kilometers away, and back to the main highway, which takes us from the flatlands back into the Kathmandu Valley.
