Summit the Epic Pikey Peak Trek

After breakfast, Gravity Expedition will introduce you to your tour guide, who will pick you up from your hotel for an interesting tour of Swayambhunath Stupa, which is located on a hilltop with spectacular views of Kathmandu City, the green hills that surround the valley, and the high snow-capped mountains.

Swayambhunath is one of the world’s oldest historical landmarks, dating back over 2,5000 years. It is a Buddhist holy complex with a massive dome-shaped stupa with four mystical eyes of Buddha overseeing the four directions of north, south, east, and west. After an outstanding tour of the monastery and little chapels, this location is surrounded by lush forest with many monkeys, and it is also known as the “Monkey Temple”.

The next interesting tour takes you to the east of Kathmandu city, to the Pashupatinath Temple area. Tourists and non-Hindus are not permitted inside the main temple, but one can see it from the bank of the Bagmati River. The holy and famous Shiva temple has golden pagoda tier roofs and four silver doors, and it is surrounded by a lovely forest with many monkeys. This area floods in mid-February during Shiva Ratri (Lord Shiva’s birth anniversary). Nearby, on the opposite bank of the river, funerals and cremations are held for all Hindus.

Then, after driving northeast, you’ll arrive at Bouddhanath Stupa, also known as “Little Tibet” due to the strong Tibetan influence in culture, traditions, and Buddhist religion. Bouddhanath is a massive dome with two tiers where you can walk up to the top for great views of the surrounding Bouddhanath area, which includes shops, stores, restaurants, and monasteries.

After a fascinating and wonderful historical and cultural trip, return to your different accommodations. Then rest for a bit, and in the evening, you will meet with your trekking guide and a representative from the Gravity Expedition office for a short briefing before your journey, since you should be aware of all important elements and locations before embarking on the hike.

Finally, the day closes with an authentic Nepalese dinner at Nepali Cultural Restaurant.

Wake up early and prepare for the first day of the walk. We board a tourist bus and drive to Jiri from Kathmandu. We will be carrying a pack lunch with us on our journey to Jiri because there are no excellent hotels along the way and the only option is Nepali Dal Bhat. At the same time, as we ride, we can observe numerous gorgeous scenes at every curve of the winding up and down route. While traveling to Charikot, you can see the spectacular Mt. Gaurishankar and a number of Himalayan ranges from Mude, which is half the distance from Jiri. You may view many more on the road to Jiri, such as the river. Evergreen trees, many birds and animals, etc. Overnight in tent.

Early in the morning, our Sherpa staff will prepare breakfast. We’ll eat breakfast before heading to Shivalaya. Shivalaya has lovely views from top to bottom. We’ll cross a bridge and go up several hills. If the weather is nice, you will be able to observe gorgeous mountains, many birds, animals, and flowers. You may appreciate the gorgeous landscape while also observing numerous locals performing various household and agricultural tasks. Overnight in tent.

Birds chirping and wishing you “Good Morning” will wake you up. The following day, after breakfast, we set out from Shivalaya on a difficult hike towards the Deurali pass (2700m). On our journey to pass, we will cross several streams and go through the villages of Sangbadanda (2180m) and Khasrubas (2330m). From the Deurali Pass, we descend steeply through meadows and pastures to Bhandra Village. On the way, you may view the Himalaya in the distance and get icy cold water from a tap outside a local home. Camp out for the night.

After breakfast, we begin hiking from Bhandar to Namkheli, which is really lovely with nice residences, meadows, and a wide variety of fauna. You can observe rice harvesting, walnut drying, chile, soya beans, oranges, and wheat. It’s really warm, around 30 degrees. After a long walk, you eventually witness a breathtaking panorama of Numbur Himal. In addition, the sunset from the peaks is still visible, and the area is becoming increasingly black. Camp out for the night.

From Jhapre, you can descend deeper into the forest and arrive at Khamding. The Wongchhu Sherpa Memorial Hospital is currently under development in Khamding. This is Late’s dream project. Mr. Wongchhu Sherpa. The valley is lovely, deep and lush, with scattered well-kept residences and farmland.

There is no trekking planned for today; instead, we will visit the village’s monastery and school. You can meet a lot of children. Interact with locals and learn more about their lifestyle. You can enjoy the pleasant atmosphere with evergreen forests.

After witnessing the picturesque Chyangba village and monastery and chatting with the locals, we travel to Bhitakharka via Chyangba village. During our hike to Bhitakharka, we notice many locals going about their regular chores.

Another excellent day of walking. Up and down valleys. Many lovely snow-covered mountains may be observed as you pass through communities with colorful doors. Locals are waking up here and there to conduct their household chores, and children are running up and down with glee on their faces. We arrived in Phaplu and rested. Today will be the last day of our journey. In the evening, we enjoy ourselves, dance, sing, have dinner, and retire to bed.

We got up early, ate breakfast, and flew back to Kathmandu. After you get in Kathmandu, you can go anywhere you want. In the evening, the goodbye meal will be served.
