Pikey Peak Trek - Great guide, scenic and cultural route!

We, friends of 4 young adults, did the Pikey Peak Trek in March. As first-timers trekking in Nepal, we picked the Pikey Peak as a beginner hike. We were not sure of hiking higher at first and have a plan to do Everest Base Camp later this year.   
 

But our first-ever trekking trip appeared to be a great hiking trek, with the view from the summit of Pikey Peak (4065 m) beyond imagination with the lucky day of crystal-clear weather. The Sherpa culture in this route is very fascinating. You can find many monuments like Kani, Maniwalls, and Chhorten along the route. The monastery we visited above the valley of Junbesi Village was most significant. Anyone doing this trip should miss this detour trip for an extra highlight of the trekking in Nepal.
 

And the unsung hero of our entire journey? Wilderness Excursion (former guide in the Himalayas) in Kathmandu, and our guide, Garap, who wasn’t just a guide—he became our fifth funny Aussie mate through the journey. Suggestion: For a more comfortable pace, you can do this trek in 7 days with rest and recovery. 
 

We definitely come back and use them, and for our Everest Base Camp, we dream to go higher next time. Thank you.
