Overview

A Little About the Trip:

Your journey begins with a scenic drive to Dhap, where you start your trek to Pikey Peak. This peak offer some of the best panoramic views of the Himalayas in Nepal. On a clear day, you can see Mt. Kanchenjunga in the east, the Annapurna range in the west, and the towering Mt. Everest.

This trek takes you through hidden villages and remote parts of the lower Everest region, far from the busy tourist trails. You will stay in cozy local tea houses at lower altitudes and camp in the wilderness as you make your way to the sacred Dudh Kunda Lake.

After climbing Pikey Peak, you will descend to Junbesi, one of the largest Sherpa villages in the region. Here, you can visit Thubten Choling Monastery, a significant spiritual center for Tibetan Buddhism and a refuge for Tibetan monks. You will then continue your trek to Taksindu La, followed by a journey to Saharsbeni. From Saharsbeni, you trek to the holy Dudh Kunda Lake, where you will have time to explore its serene surroundings.

Along the journey, you’ll walk through traditional Sherpa villages, where you can experience their warm hospitality and learn about their unique culture. The trail winds through stunning forests, offering a chance to spot wildlife, before opening up to the breathtaking Himalayan landscape surrounding Dudh Kunda Lake.

On the return journey, you will trek back to Yak Kharka and then continue towards Ringmu, following a scenic trail along rivers and forests. Your final stretch takes you to Phaplu via Chiwong Monastery, where you can choose between a short, scenic flight or a long and adventurous drive back to Kathmandu, bringing your unforgettable trek to a perfect end.
