Before you go on a Pikey Trek, here are some things you might want to consider:
FAQ
The Pikey Peak Trek is a relatively new trekking route in Nepal that takes you through the Solu region of the country, starting and ending in the town of Phaplu. The trek takes you through beautiful landscapes, traditional Sherpa villages, and offers stunning views of the Himalayan mountain range.
The Pikey Peak Trek is considered a moderate trek, with some steep uphill sections but no technical climbing involved. However, it’s important to be in good physical condition and to be prepared for the altitude, as you will reach an elevation of 4,065 meters (13,335 feet) at the summit of Pikey Peak.
The best time to do the Pikey Peak Trek is during the dry season, which runs from October to May. The monsoon season, which runs from June to September, can make trails muddy and slippery, and can also bring landslides and other hazards.
The Pikey Peak Trek can be done in 8-10 days, depending on your pace and itinerary. Some trekkers choose to combine the Pikey Peak Trek with other nearby treks, such as the Everest Base Camp Trek or the Gokyo Lakes Trek.
There are several lodges and tea houses along the Pikey Peak Trek route that offer basic but comfortable accommodation. Most lodges have shared rooms with twin beds or bunk beds, and communal dining areas where you can enjoy meals and meet other trekkers.
While it’s possible to do the Pikey Peak Trek independently, hiring a guide is recommended, especially if you’re not familiar with the area or terrain. A guide can also help you navigate cultural differences and language barriers, and can offer insight into the local culture and customs.
You should pack appropriate clothing for the season, including warm layers for the cold nights and early mornings, a waterproof jacket, comfortable hiking boots or shoes, a hat and sunglasses, sunscreen, a first aid kit, a water bottle or hydration system, a headlamp or flashlight, and a camera or phone for taking pictures. You should also bring any personal medications or toiletries you may need.
