If you do not use pre-paid services included in the itinerary (accommodation, sightseeing, meals, transport, and similar), no refund or reuse is offered for the unused portion. Refund conditions may be updated at the company's discretion. The company may cancel a trip before it is guaranteed to run or before an official agreement is signed. A trip is guaranteed once two travellers have paid in full unless a different minimum is stated for that departure. Circumstances such as natural disaster, cancelled flights, strike, industrial action, war, riot, quarantine, government intervention, weather, or a group member's health may force cancellation. In those cases you may choose either a refund of 75% of the total trip cost paid (13% government tax deducted from that refund) or reuse of the same value on an alternative trip at the same price in the same season and year. The booking deposit (25% of the total) remains non-refundable in that scenario. Cancellation must be sent in writing; the cancellation date is the date written notice is received.

You walk through Sherpa, Rai, and Tamang villages with quieter trails and teahouse nights. Junbesi monastery lanes, farm terraces, and the Dhap roadhead give this trek a village character in lower Solu. The summit ridge at about 4,065 m opens Everest, Gaurishankar, and Kanchenjunga on a clear morning. You descend through rhododendron and farmland back to the roadhead. A 4,065 m dawn on Pikey, with Everest and Kanchenjunga both in view, is the reason people book this hill. ✨ Why Choose Us Bhagwat started as a porter in 1998, became a licensed guide, studied tourism in Nepal and the UK, and still leads groups when he can, including on this Solu ridge. You'll leave Kathmandu by road toward Dhap or Jiri, so the briefing covers jeep timing and Solu lodge lists. Our office confirms rooms in Jhapre and at Pikey Base Camp before you walk. Your guide knows the 4,065 m summit start and which dawn is worth the dark climb for Everest, Gaurishankar, and Kanchenjunga. We'll walk Sherpa, Rai, and Tamang villages through Junbesi on quieter teahouse paths. The finish is toward the Phaplu roadhead after the rhododendron descent. ### Essential information _None._ ### What’s included Airport pickup and drop-off between Kathmandu hotel and airport Three nights in a 3-star Kathmandu hotel with breakfast Breakfast, lunch, and dinner on trekking days driven in a private vehicle to Dhap Bazaar, the starting point of your trek Trekking Permit TIMS permit Tour permits and paperwork handled for you Domestic airport taxes included Teahouse or lodge accommodation on the trail Travel and rescue arrangements First aid kit on the tour Farewell dinner with Nepalese cultural performance ### What’s not included Transport to and from the meeting point outside arranged airport transfers Nepal visa fees International flights to and from Kathmandu Kathmandu monument entrance fees on sightseeing All meals in Kathmandu, including lunch and dinner, are not covered Personal trail costs (phone, laundry, drinks, charging, showers, water) ### Kit list Broken-in waterproof hiking boots and wool or synthetic socks Layered clothing, insulated jacket, rain shell, hat, and gloves Daypack, water bottles, and head torch Sleeping bag suitable for teahouse nights at altitude Sunglasses, sunscreen, lip balm, and personal first aid kit Passport copies, visa, insurance documents, and cash for extras on the trail ## FAQs ### When is the best season for this trek? Spring from March to May and autumn from September to November usually bring the clearest views and stable walking conditions on this route. Winter is quieter but colder at altitude, while monsoon months bring cloud and wet trails at lower elevations. Shoulder weeks need an honest weather call before high passes or dawn viewpoints. Monsoon cloud sits lower on the hills while winter brings ice on steps above village level. ### How fit do I need to be? You should be comfortable walking several hours a day on uneven paths with a daypack, including steady uphill sections as you gain height. Hill training and longer weekend walks in the months before travel help your legs and lungs on uphill trail days. Hill training, stair climbing, and longer weekend hikes in the months before travel help your legs and lungs, even when acclimatisation days are built into the route. Break in boots before you fly and carry a light daypack on practice walks. ### What is included in the package? Guided trekking with licensed leaders, lodge nights on the trail, meals as described for walking days, and permits for the regions crossed are included when they are part of this trip. Domestic flights, porters, and airport transfers apply only when they are part of this trip. Domestic flights, road transfers, porter support, and airport transfers apply only when they are part of this trip. Permits for the regions you cross are arranged in Kathmandu or Pokhara when included. ### What is not included?

Hot showers, Wi-Fi, and battery charging in lodges are usually paid locally when offered. Charges for hot showers, Wi-Fi, or battery charging in lodges are paid locally when offered unless your trip notes say otherwise. International flights, visa fees, and personal insurance stay outside the trek package. ### Where do we meet? Pickup can be arranged from Tribhuvan International Airport or your hotel in Thamel when you share flight times ahead of travel. The pre-trek briefing is usually held at the hotel before the Lukla flight or helicopter sector. Allow buffer days after the trek in case mountain flights move. Thamel hotels are the usual meet point; drivers need flight numbers to meet you at the international terminal. ### How does altitude sickness management work? Guides set a steady pace and watch for headache, nausea, or dizziness as you gain height. Weather can shift daily plans, so your guide keeps a steady pace with regular breaks. Tell your guide early if symptoms appear so tomorrow's stage can shorten or descent can start before conditions worsen. Trail conditions are checked each morning before the group moves. ### Are Lukla flights reliable? Mountain weather can delay or postpone Lukla flights even in peak season, and Ramechhap diversions happen when the airstrip is congested. Your crew would rather wait for a safe window than rush marginal weather. Build buffer days after the trek for international connections, and follow crew advice if schedules change or flights shift to Ramechhap. Allow a little extra time after the trek before international flights home in case mountain roads or flights move. ### What permits are required? Sagarmatha National Park and Khumbu municipality permits apply in the Everest region. The team arranges paperwork in Kathmandu or Pokhara when you provide passport copies and trek dates. Keep copies in your daypack for checkpoint stops. Your crew would rather wait for a safe window than rush marginal weather. ### Can children join this trek? Families join when children can manage the daily hours and terrain on this specific route. Pace and daily hours can be adjusted on private departures, though that may extend the calendar. Ask our Kathmandu team if you are planning with younger walkers. Private departures can shorten daily hours, though that may add a day or two to the calendar. ### What insurance do I need? Comprehensive travel insurance that covers trekking to the highest altitude on your itinerary, medical evacuation, and helicopter rescue when applicable is essential. Many standard policies exclude high altitude by name. Read the wording before you travel so you can adjust cover if trekking above 5,000 metres is not named. Many standard policies exclude high altitude by name, so read the wording before you fly. ## Media - **Primary image URL (resolved in app; may be absolute)**: https://adventuro.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=1200,format=auto,quality=90/https://wp.adventuro.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/Pikey-peak-Trekking-1.webp - **Gallery image count**: 10 ## Limitations - Availability, exact session times, and final price may depend on the live booking flow. - This Markdown is generated from the same catalog fields as the public HTML page at the canonical URL above.
