Drive from Kathmandu to Dhap Bazaar, a ridge settlement at about 2,900 m, which takes seven to nine hours depending on the source and the state of the road. KimKim lists a lunch stop at Ghurmi on the way. The road climbs through hill towns and terraces, and your first night is at a teahouse in Dhap. Dhap's height of about 2,900 m, which most operators give, is in line with the elevation model, which gives about 3,000 m. Use the evening to repack, check your guide's plan for the morning, and rest, because the next days start early.

The Pikey Peak trek is a six-day walk through the Solu part of Solukhumbu to a 4,065 m summit that gives one of the best sunrise views of Everest and the Himalaya from outside the Khumbu. A seven to nine hour drive from Kathmandu reaches Dhap Bazaar on the ridge, and the walk then goes through Jhapre and Pikey Base Camp to the summit, down to Junbesi, and along the Junbesi Khola to Phaplu, from where a drive of eight to nine hours returns to the city. The walking is about 48 km with 2,260 m of climbing and 2,790 m of descent. The trail is quieter than the Everest base camp route, passes through oak and rhododendron forest and yak pasture, and has lodges at every stop. The walk needs no flight, no restricted-area permit and no special gear beyond warm clothes for the summit sunrise.
The plan follows a KimKim itinerary and a Nepal Traveller article, which agree on the stops and the Dhap start, and it uses their heights for Jhapre, the base camp and Junbesi only where they match the elevation model. The first day on the road is long, and the second day follows a ridge road, so the real climb starts on day three. The best months are March to May and September to November. Pikey is not a restricted area and lies outside Sagarmatha National Park, so no flight and no special permit are needed.
Difficulty and fitness
The trek is moderate. The longest day is the descent from Pikey Base Camp to Junbesi, about 15 km and 1,670 m down, and the climb from Jhapre to the base camp is about 870 m. The summit climb is short but cold and dark. Good boots and trekking poles help on the descent.
Budget notes
The costs section uses Nepal-wide lodge and meal ranges by altitude, with a guide, a porter and road transport. Fares for the drives to and from Dhap and Phaplu are shown as lines to check, since we found no published prices.
What to pack
A down jacket, hat and gloves for the summit sunrise, a headlamp, rain gear, a warm sleeping bag and water treatment. Lodges give blankets, but nights at Pikey Base Camp, at about 3,640 m, are cold.
Sorotan
- Sunrise from Pikey Peak at 4,065 m, with Everest and the Khumbu range in view
- Rhododendron forest, yak pasture and the Sherpa and Rai villages of Solu
- Junbesi and the Thubten Choling monastery
- A quieter alternative to the Everest base camp trail
- A road start and finish: no flight is needed
Peta laluan
Hari demi hari
Walk about 9.4 km from Dhap Bazaar to Jhapre, four to five hours, through Sigane along a ridge road with small ups and downs. It is the easiest walking day: the climb is only 220 m, with 370 m of descent, and most of it is on a motor road, which operators describe as a forest road. Jhapre is at about 2,815 m according to KimKim and Nepalgram, and the lodges lie in a cluster below Pikey. Spend the afternoon resting, and eat early, because the next day is much longer and steeper.
Anda tidur 825 m lebih tinggi daripada malam sebelumnya, melebihi garis panduan biasa 500 m. Berjalan perlahan, minum banyak air dan perhatikan sakit kepala atau loya.
A day of 13 km and 870 m of climbing, five to seven hours, climbs from Jhapre along the ridge, through rhododendron and yak pasture, to Pikey Base Camp at about 3,640 m. KimKim lists lunch at Lhamuje and a time of five to six hours, and Third Rock Adventures gives six to seven. The path is mostly a footpath, with some road, and views open as you gain height. The lodge at the base camp is simple, and the night is cold. Eat well and go to bed early, because the summit is for sunrise.
Rise before dawn for the climb of about 3 km and 400 m to the summit at 4,065 m, about 1.5 to 2 hours in the dark with a headlamp, by our estimate. At sunrise, Everest and the Khumbu peaks stand above the ridges, and Hillary is said to have favoured the view. Come back to the base camp for breakfast, then walk about 12 km and 1,670 m down to Junbesi at about 2,680 m, the longest day: seven to eight hours with the summit, according to our estimate and an operator that gives eight. The route passes Jasmane Bhanjyang and forest.
Walk about 11 km from Junbesi to Phaplu in four to five hours, mostly downhill along the Junbesi Khola, with a few climbs. Phaplu is at about 2,400 m by KimKim and OpenStreetMap, and the elevation model puts it near 2,490 m. If you have spare time and energy, the Thubten Choling monastery lies a few kilometres north of Junbesi, and a round trip takes about three hours. Your lodge in Phaplu is close to the airstrip, and the town is the district's road and air hub, so it is a comfortable last night in the hills.
Drive from Phaplu to Kathmandu, a journey of about eight to nine hours. The road retraces much of the way to Kathmandu through Okhaldhunga district and over several ridges, and it is bumpy in places. Some trekkers take the short flight from Phaplu instead if the weather allows, which saves most of the day, but flights are often cancelled in cloud, so keep the road as your fallback. If you have a flight out of Nepal, leave a spare day before it.

This plan takes six days from Kathmandu to Kathmandu, with four walking days and a drive at each end. Operators sell versions of seven to eleven days, which add Kathmandu days, a side trip to Thubten Choling monastery or a night at Taksindu.
4,065 m, which is the figure on Wikipedia, on OpenStreetMap and in operator itineraries; our elevation model gives about 4,040 m. Pikey Base Camp is given as 3,585 to 3,640 m.
No restricted-area permit is needed, and the peak is outside Sagarmatha National Park, so its entry permit does not apply. Ask your agency whether any local municipality fee applies.
Yes, one common variant flies to Phaplu and walks to Junbesi and Pikey, and some plans return by air from Phaplu. Flights depend on weather, so allow spare days. Our plan drives both ways and prices road transport only.
It is a moderate trek with a high point of 4,065 m, so it suits fit beginners who accept cold mornings. The sunrise climb from the base camp is the hardest part, and the lodges give shelter at each stop.
