Everest Region

One of the newer and less well-known treks in the Everest area is the Classic Everest Base Camp Trek via Pikey Peak. This is a 22 days trek which takes us to the summit of Pikey and onwards to Kalapathhar through the classic trail of Mount Everest. Although equally adventurous and beautiful as the classic EBC trek, this trek takes a slight detour of Pikey Peak before heading on to the Everest Base Camp. Pikey Peak is located at an altitude of 4,065m, from where you can see the breathtaking views of the surroundings as well as the mighty Mount Everest. Before arriving at the 5,365-meter Everest Base Camp, the walk will pass by a number of other breathtaking vistas. The last endpoint of the Classic Everest Base Camp with Pikey Peak Trek, Kalapathar 5545 meters above sea level, will be the highest point of the trek.

The trek is best suited for the adventure seekers who want to explore the unexplored and enjoy the unspoiled nature to the very core. The best opportunity to observe village life in a remote area of Nepal is through this hike. With the help of our knowledgeable guides and porters, you can also experience the best of Nepal, which will undoubtedly make your journey even more enjoyable.

Before beginning the Classic Everest Base Camp journey with Pikey Peak, hikers must be in excellent physical condition because the altitude will be above 5000 meters. All travelers should engage in some light physical activity three to four months before their voyage. Even though there will be some difficulties along the route, once you have had the local cuisine and drink and had the chance to take in the spectacular surroundings, the trek will have been worthwhile.

The journey to Dhap village from the magnificent metropolis of Kathmandu begins the trek. After that, it gently climbs to Japre before continuing on to Pikey Base Camp. The walk continues to Loding, a lovely town in the Solukhumbu area, after climbing the Pikey Summit. We arrive in Namche Bazaar, a well-liked location also referred to as the escape from Everest, after passing through numerous stopping locations along the way. We go through numerous stunning monasteries, including Dingboche and Tengboche, before arriving at Lobuche, the final stop before arriving at the Everest Base Camp. We take a flying return to Kathmandu after carefully descending to Lukla from Kala Patthar through Namche.

The Everest Gokyo Lakes and Base Camp Trek is one of the best alternate options for treks in the Khumbu. The trip presents you the opportunity to trek through one of the most visited trekking destinations in Nepal and experience its many natural and cultural facets. It is a journey of a lifetime where Himalayan views of the Everest peaks tower over the valleys spectacularly at every turn of the trekking trail. With a well-trodden pathway that coruscates through the Dudh Koshi and Imja River valleys, a trip is an unforgettable event that you simply must try at least once in life!

The Everest Gokyo Lakes and Base Camp Trek begins with a short flight to Lukla. From there, you will be following the path to many of Khumbu's ethic Sherpa villages and settlements, like Namche Bazaar, Phakding, and Lobuche among others. In many ways, this trip is similar to the regular base camp trekking trip, except in the fact that this trip also includes a visit to the holy sapphire Himalayan lakes of Gokyo in the high Himalayas of Khumbu.

Taking an alternate route from Dole and Machhermo villages, you will be traversing deep into the foothills and ascending through the glacial moraines and ravines to reach Gokyo. The turquoise lakes of the Everest peaks present one of the most serene and beautiful sights in the world. The lake is embedded in the Himalayan sediments of silts and clay, shimmering blue and green in the sun that reflects the lake's deep glacial debris. Although devoid of fish due to the extreme temperatures, the lake harbors rich Himalayan vegetation much like a beguiling desert oasis, except that the lake is rather surrounded by ice and snow than the dunes.

Moreover, the Everest Gokyo Lakes and Base Camp trek also includes many other attributes of the Khumbu, like a visit to the famous Himalayan town of Namche Bazaar among other settlements where Sherpa culture is vibrant and lively. Namche Bazaar presents amazing views of the Everest peaks, like the Ama Dablam, the Lhotse, the Nuptse, the Thamserku, the Kongdi RI, and the Kusum Kanguru among many others from its amphitheater-like terrain.

Likewise, you will also cross the Cho La Mountain Pass and visit hidden gems of the region like Dragnak and Dzongla. Finally, the trip concludes at the base camp of Mount Everest, but not before you visit the vantage point of Kalapatthar- one of the best vantage points in the region that presents panoramic views of the entire Everest massif in a thrilling display of serrated peaks.

In addition to the natural and cultural features, you will also be presented with the best services at all times with regards to meals, accommodation, transportation, and guidance. It is truly a trip that you do not want to miss out on! Book your trip with us today!
