Home of the majestic Mt. Everest (8848m), the Everest region boasts a wide range of trails leading deeper into the Himalayas amongst which Island Peak climbing is one of the most frequented and also one of the most loved. Surrounded by a sea of ice, the mountain peak hosts a surreal view of the entire Everest Himalayas whilst filling you in with the adventure of standing on a Mountain Top.

Combining this with the classic Everest Base Camp Trek gives you a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to experience the Everest Region in all its glory. Island Peak is located at Imja Tse Valley. This is the most popular climbing peak in Nepal. It prefers those climbers with less experience or those to climb for the first time to go over six thousand m altitudes.

Trip Outline

Island Peak climbing is the Himalayan journey that commences with an exhilarating mountain flight to the renowned airstrip of Lukla. Following the banks of the Dudh Koshi River to reach Phakding, the trek begins from Lukla through lush green forests covered with rhododendrons, fir, and magnolia trees. Past the hamlets of Thulo Ghamela, Bengkar, and Monjo, the trail reaches Jorsalle and enters Sagarmatha National Park in the process.

You then reach the picturesque town of the Sherpas, Namche, where you take a day off for acclimatization before setting off to Tengboche. Visiting the sacred Dawa Choling Monastery in Tengboche, you continue the trek through the settlements of Pheriche, Lobuche, and Gorakshep to then traverse along the lateral moraines of Khumbu and Lhotse glaciers to reach Everest Base Camp (5364m) where you get to marvel at the unforgettable beauty of the Himalayas.

Attractions of Trek

An early journey to Kalapatthar offers you a gorgeous Himalayan sunrise and then takes you back to Lobuche, from where you leave the classic EBC trekking route and cross the arduous Kongma La Pass (5535m) to reach Chhukung. Taking a day off to acclimatize and also practice some climbing techniques, you summit the majestic Island Peak (6,189m) through ice and snow, experiencing every bit of the unique Himalayan experience. As you retrace your trail to Pangboche, Namche, Lukla, and Kathmandu, the feeling of accomplishment starts to sink in leaving you to want for more.

Is this trip the right fit for you?

  • Island Peak Climbing is a challenging trek that ascends to 6,189m, so previous high-altitude trekking experience is highly recommended. The climb includes steep ascents on snow and ice with crampons and ropes.
  • A high level of fitness is required as you will be trekking 5-6 hours daily before the summit climb. Endurance training should be done before the trip. The summit climb takes 10-12 hours roundtrip from base camp.
  • Technical climbing skills like the use of harnesses, crampons, and ice axes are necessary. Previous knowledge of knots, ropes and climbing techniques is essential to learn before the trip.
  • The trip is best done in April-May or October-November to avoid monsoon rains and severe cold. But weather at those times can still be unpredictable with storms and snow.
  • You must be comfortable with basic camping during the trek and prepared for very basic conditions at the high camps on the mountain. Sleeping in tents at freezing temperatures is required.
  • Island Peak is in a remote region, so you should not expect advanced medical facilities. Have proper travel insurance in case of emergencies or altitude sickness.
  • Before attempting the summit, no previous mountaineering experience is required but you should be very confident in your physical fitness, stamina, and technical skills.

What makes this trip enjoyable for you?

  • The sense of accomplishment in summiting a 6,000+ meter Himalayan peak after a challenging climb is an amazing feeling. Standing atop the summit with views of the high mountains is hugely rewarding.
  • Trekking through the beautiful Everest region for days before the climb is scenic with views of mountains like Lhotse, Nuptse, and Ama Dablam. The culture of Sherpa villages at places like Namche Bazaar is fascinating to experience.
  • Acquiring new mountaineering abilities, such as using ice axes, ropes, harnesses, and crampons, is enjoyable and enhances your outdoor passion. These are excellent skills for your next climbing expedition.
  • Island Peak is an adventurous trek with stunning landscapes as you hike past glaciers, craggy ridges, and snow-capped peaks. The Alpine climbing environment is breathtaking if you love nature.
  • Training and getting in your best physical fitness before the trip is a great goal to work towards. Seeing your endurance improve is motivating.
  • Summiting Island Peak is considered a major mountaineering achievement but is still accessible to adventurers with proper training and guidance. It’s a great introduction to serious climbing.
  • Returning home with incredible memories, photos and stories of climbing a Himalayan peak is priceless. You gain confidence in yourself and your abilities. It’s an amazing personal accomplishment.
  • Magnificent vistas of the Khumbu Icefall and other glaciers like the Khumbu and Lhotse glaciers can be seen from vantage points along the trail. The icefalls are spectacular to witness in person.
  • Traditional Sherpa settlements like Namche Bazaar provide insight into the lives of these mountain people. Their Tibetan Buddhism culture, traditions, and hospitality are fascinating to experience.
  • The trail passes through Sagarmatha National Park allowing you to spot unique flora like rhododendrons and wildlife like Himalayan tahr and musk deer. The biodiversity of the region is incredible.

We here at High Route Adventure have been accompanying trekkers and thrill-seekers for over a decade making sure we provide our clients with the very best of services enabling them to enjoy their adventure to the fullest. Please be advised that trips into the Everest Region are subject to changes resulting from the weather conditions.

The post Ama Dablam Expedition appeared first on High Route Adventure.

]]>
The Ama Dablam Expedition with High Route Adventure is a remarkable mountaineering journey that encapsulates the essence of adventures in the heart of the Himalayas! Ama Dablam, often referred to as the “Matterhorn of the Himalayas” due to its distinctive pyramid shape, offers climbers a challenging yet rewarding ascent. The route to its summit is a test of technical skill, physical endurance, and unwavering determination! Are you ready?

The climb begins at Base Camp, nestled in the shadow of Ama Dablam, at an elevation of approximately 4,600 meters (15,092 feet). From here, climbers embark on an arduous journey that takes them through a series of high-altitude camps. The Advanced Base Camp (ABC), situated at around 5,639 meters (18,500 feet), serves as the launching point for the expedition’s higher reaches.

As climbers ascend, they traverse rocky terrains, negotiate steep ridges, and face the challenges of snow and ice. Camp I, also known as “The Yak Camp,” at about 5,700 meters (18,700 feet), offers the first significant rest stop! From there, they advance to Camp II, or “The Advanced Camp,” perched at approximately 6,000 meters (19,685 feet) on a narrow snow ridge. It’s here that climbers intensify their acclimatization efforts and prepare for the more demanding sections ahead.

High Route Adventure’s expert climbing guides continue with you to Camp III, known as “The Summit Camp,” at around 6,480 meters (21,260 feet). This camp is strategically placed just below Ama Dablam’s southwest ridge, making it the final camp before the summit push!

The ascent to the summit, standing tall at 6,812 meters (22,349 feet), is the Major highlight of the Ama Dablam expedition. Climbers must navigate technical rock and ice sections, employing their skills and determination to reach the pinnacle of Ama Dablam’s majestic Himalayan pyramid!

A few things you should know before climbing Mt Ama Dablam

To conquer Ama Dablam, one must be equipped with a comprehensive arsenal of gear and equipment tailored to the requirements of high-altitude mountaineering in Nepal! In contrast to standard hiking gear, this expedition demands specialized tools and gear.

Crampons with precision-engineered spikes provide essential traction on icy surfaces, while harnesses with safety features offer peace of mind on tricky rock faces. Ice axes, designed for balance and power, are indispensable for navigating steep slopes and ice formations. Furthermore, altitude-resistant clothing, constructed with cutting-edge materials, ensures climbers remain warm and safe in the ever-changing Himalayan weather.

These tools are not mere accessories; they are lifelines, enabling climbers to conquer the unforgiving terrain of Ama Dablam. Climbers who embark on this expedition are advised to have some prior experience. Proficiency in rock and ice climbing is a benefit, as is the ability to utilize ropes and anchors!

Mt Ama Dablam is renowned for its formidable challenges. Its distinctive pyramid shape presents a complex medley of rock, snow, and ice obstacles. The exposed ridges and sheer rock faces demand a level of technical skill. With the help of High Route Adventure, you’ll navigate steep sections with finesse, employing a blend of rock and ice climbing techniques.

The thin air at high altitudes adds another layer of complexity, requiring climbers to acclimatize gradually and make calculated decisions to ensure their safety and success.

When to summit Mt Ama Dablam in Nepal?

The timing of the expedition is an important consideration! The optimal seasons for the Mt Ama Dablam expedition are autumn/fall (October-November) and spring (April-May). During these months, the weather tends to be more stable, with clear skies and manageable temperatures.

Embarking on the climb during other times of the year exposes climbers to harsh and unpredictable weather conditions, significantly increasing the risk associated with the ascent. Timing, therefore, is a factor that can make the difference between a successful summit and a perilous retreat!

Ama Dablam Camp-by-Camp to the Summit

Base Camp:

The journey begins at the base camp, situated at approximately 4,600 meters (15,092 feet) above sea level. This is the starting point for climbers and serves as the hub for organizing equipment, acclimatization, and initial briefings. High Route Adventure sets up our main camp here. It also provides a stunning vantage point for viewing Ama Dablam’s majestic pyramid shape!

Advanced Base Camp (ABC):

After training at base camp, climbers ascend to the advanced base camp, located at around 5,400 meters (17,716 feet). This camp is strategically positioned closer to the mountain and serves as a launch pad for further ascents. Climbers typically spend several days here, acclimatizing to the increasing altitude and preparing for the more challenging sections ahead.

Camp I:

Often referred to as “The Yak Camp,” is situated at approximately 5,700 meters (18,700 feet) above sea level. It is the first high camp along the route, marking a significant step in the ascent. Climbers establish this camp on a rocky terrace and use it as a resting point during their climb. From here, the route becomes steeper and more technical.

Camp II:

Called “The Advanced Camp,” Camp II is positioned at approximately 6,000 meters (19,685 feet). It is a critical waypoint in the climb and is nestled on a narrow snow ridge. Climbers may spend several nights here, adjusting to the altitude and preparing for the challenging sections ahead. Camp II offers breathtaking views of the surrounding Himalayan peaks.

Camp 2.7:

Also known as “The Summit Camp,” it is situated at around 6,480 meters (21,260 feet) above sea level. This camp is strategically located just below the mountain’s southwest ridge.

Ama Dablam Summit:

Mt Ama Dablam Summit

The ultimate goal of the expedition is to reach the summit of Ama Dablam, which stands at an impressive 6,812 meters (22,349 feet) above sea level. The summit push is the most challenging part of the climb, often involving technical rock and ice sections. Success at the summit is a testament to the climber’s skill, determination, and preparation!

Is Ama Dablam Expedition Suitable For You?

  • Ama Dablam is a more challenging peak at 6,812m. Prior high-altitude mountaineering experience and excellent fitness levels are required. It’s not for newer climbers.
  • The climb requires ascending steep exposed ridges and climbing rock. Excellent technical skills in ropes, rappelling, anchors, etc., are essential.
  • The summit bid involves difficult sections like the Yellow Tower. This requires strong mental stamina, in addition to physical capability.
  • Weather conditions on summit day can be extremely harsh – low temperatures with strong winds. Make sure you have top-grade cold weather gear to withstand that.
  • Camping for weeks around 5,000 – 6,000m means very basic tent conditions and below-freezing temps. Prepare mentally and with gear for sleeping in such environments.
  • Due to tricky logistics, unstable weather issues, etc., summit attempts tend to be tough. Be mentally ready to turn around if needed.
  • Limited summit days per season means securing a permit many months in advance. It gets booked out quickly by experienced climbers only.
  • Ama Dablam’s difficulty requires technical skills. It’s suited for intermediate-advanced climbers pursuing a major Himalayan challenge with proper prior extreme altitude experience.

What You Will Love In this Ama Dablam Expedition

  • Summiting a classic and stunning 6,812m peak like Ama Dablam provides a huge sense of personal achievement and pride after a demanding climb. The incredible views are the reward.
  • Attempting steep rock pitches on the southwest ridge using ropes, gear, and technical ability is an adventurous challenge for experienced climbers.
  • Learning to handle difficult sections requires mountaineering skill development. This benefits future extreme altitude climbs.
  • Being fully self-sufficient for weeks while camping across varying terrains from base camp to summit pushes your resilience and wilderness skills.
  • Trekking in the Khumbu Valley offers stunning high-mountain scenery, Buddhist culture, and charming Sherpa villages to discover along the way.
  • Crossing high passes before attempting Ama Dablam is very rewarding yet grueling, underscoring the remoteness.
  • Overcoming adversity together with your expedition team when tackling such a serious peak forms a lasting friendship.
  • If successful, landing atop such an iconic summit with jaw-dropping Himalayan views all around is a moment you’ll never forget.

      Top Attractions of the Everest Base Camp Trek

      One of the major highlights of the Everest Base Camp Trek is the awe-inspiring views of Mount Everest (8,848.86m) and surrounding peaks like Lhotse, Nuptse, Ama Dablam, and Thamserku. The panoramic Himalayan scenery begins as soon as you land in Lukla and keeps getting better each day. Trekkers are rewarded with close-up views of Everest, especially from Kala Patthar (5,545m), known for its stunning sunrise. The snow-covered peaks, glaciers, and icefalls create unforgettable visuals throughout the journey.

      Scenic Flight to Lukla – World’s Most Adventurous Airport

      The adventure starts with a thrilling flight from Kathmandu to Lukla, one of the most exciting and scenic flights in the world. Flying over deep valleys and high ridges with views of the Himalayas is a unique experience in itself. The short airstrip in Lukla, perched on a hillside, sets the tone for the adrenaline-packed trek ahead. It’s not just transportation—it’s a memory in the making.

      Sherpa Culture and Himalayan Villages

      The Everest Base Camp route winds through beautiful Sherpa villages like Namche Bazaar, Tengboche, and Pangboche, giving trekkers a glimpse into traditional mountain life.

Their rich cultural heritage adds depth to the trekking experience.

      Tengboche Monastery – Spiritual Heart of the Khumbu

Located at 3,867 meters, it offers incredible views of Ama Dablam and Everest. Trekkers often receive blessings from the resident monks before continuing their journey. The peaceful ambiance and fluttering prayer flags create a sacred moment amid the Himalayan wilderness.

      Kala Patthar – Best Viewpoint for Everest Sunrise

      Climbing Kala Patthar, meaning “Black Rock,” is one of the most rewarding parts of the trek. It offers the best panoramic view of Mount Everest and surrounding peaks at sunrise. The climb is short but steep, and the view at the top is absolutely breathtaking. Watching the golden rays hit the summit of Everest is a bucket-list experience for every trekker.

      Khumbu Glacier and Icefall

      As you approach Everest Base Camp, you walk alongside the massive Khumbu Glacier and get a glimpse of the dangerous and fascinating Khumbu Icefall. These natural wonders are ever-changing due to shifting ice and melting patterns. It’s a stark reminder of the raw power of nature at high altitude. The terrain here is rugged, surreal, and deeply captivating.

      Sagarmatha National Park – A UNESCO World Heritage Site

      The Everest trekking trail passes through the protected area of Sagarmatha National Park, home to rare wildlife, alpine forests, and glaciers. Designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site, it offers a pristine natural environment to explore. Trekkers may spot Himalayan tahrs, musk deer, snow pigeons, and if lucky, even the elusive snow leopard. The park adds a rich layer of biodiversity to the trekking journey.

      Cozy Teahouse Experience

      At the end of each trekking day, you rest in local teahouses that offer simple accommodation and warm meals. This authentic part of trekking in Nepal allows you to connect with other trekkers and enjoy Nepalese hospitality in remote mountain villages. Typical meals include dal bhat, noodle soup, and momos, providing the energy needed for the next day’s hike. Teahouse stays are part of what makes the Everest Base Camp Trek a culturally rich and immersive experience.

      The post Everest Base Camp Gokyo Trek Via Cho-la Pass appeared first on High Route Adventure.

      ]]>
      Everest Base Camp Gokyo Trek via Cho-La Pass is a wonderful combination that allows trekkers to enjoy both scenic sides of the high Khumbu region in the close shadow of towering Mt. Everest. One of the most popular trekking adventures in Nepal is the Everest Base Camp trek. Few groups seldom venture to take the high route over Cho-La Pass to reach the beautiful and very scenic Gokyo Valley with its turquoise-colored glacial lakes.

      Gokyo Everest Base Camp Trek via Cho-La Pass will be a great adventure holiday where you will be walking on a quiet mountain path to cross the high Cho-La Pass. After completing the trek to Everest Base Camp and the highest spot Kalapathar rocky hilltop, enjoy a breathtaking panorama of giant peaks with Mt. Everest at its closest distance.

      High Route Adventure has designed the itinerary with flexible rest days for proper acclimatization. All travelers booked with us can enjoy the fabulous adventure to Everest Base Camp and Gokyo Valley Trek, crossing Cho-La Pass. Our program is slightly different from other companies, visiting Everest Base Camp and Kalapathar on the first part of the adventure. This makes it more accessible to climb over Cho-La Pass to reach scenic Gokyo Valley, a beautiful destination enclosed by high snow peaks.

      The Everest Gokyo Cho-La Pass Trek — the original spelling is Tsho-La, meaning “a pass with an icy pond” — is generally called Cho-La for simplicity among foreign travelers. Likewise, Mt. Everest is called Sagarmatha in Nepal, while the Sherpa people know it as Chomolungma in the Tibetan language, as Everest straddles the border between Nepal and Tibet/China.

      Journey to Everest Base Camp Gokyo Trek Via Cho-la Pass

      To begin this wonderful adventure, take a swift panoramic short flight from Kathmandu to the Sherpa town of Lukla, with a unique airstrip enclosed by high green hills and snowy mountains. The airport in Lukla is named Tenzing-Hillary Airport, a tribute to the first conquerors of Mt. Everest.

      From Lukla, the trek starts with easy gradual walks through several Sherpa farm villages, following the Dudh Kosi River to reach Sagarmatha National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1979. Entering the park leads into beautiful woodlands of rhododendrons and pine trees, with a scenic uphill climb to reach the famous Namche Bazaar.

      At Namche Bazaar, trekkers enjoy a free day for acclimatization before heading to higher destinations. This vibrant Sherpa hub offers short hikes to viewpoints and a fascinating museum displaying information on the Khumbu and Everest region.

      After a relaxing time in Namche — where a colorful Saturday market is held weekly, giving the place its name “Bazaar” — the journey continues along a scenic trail to picturesque Tengboche and its impressive monastery.

      Trek to Everest Base Camp

      The final pit stop before making the trip up the valley towards Everest Base Camp. Gorakshep is a fairly primitive but important stopping point for many hikers making the final leap towards EBC.

      From Dingboche, the trail heads towards Everest Base Camp via Lobuche and Gorakshep, temporary settlements with basic lodges for trekkers. The path leads across moraine and glacier terrain to reach the famous Everest Base Camp, near the massive Khumbu Icefall and glaciers.

      During the spring climbing season, this area is filled with colorful expedition tents. The views of surrounding peaks are incredible, with the summit of Mt. Everest visible above.

      The final push to Kalapathar (5,643 m / 18,514 ft) offers the closest panoramic view of Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse, and Pumori. After completing the Everest Base Camp section, the trek heads towards Dzongla, the base for Cho-La Pass.

      The early morning crossing of Cho-La Pass is one of the most challenging days of the trek. The pass is decorated with rock cairns and Buddhist prayer flags, offering breathtaking views of Cholatse, Lobuche, Nirekha, and even Cho-Oyu in the north.

      From here, descend into Gokyo Valley, near the Ngozumpa Glacier, the longest glacier in the Nepal Himalaya.

      Cultural Highlight – Tengboche Monastery & Festivals

      Tengboche is surrounded by high snow peaks with spectacular views of Mt. Everest and Ama Dablam, set within serene alpine forests. Visitors can explore the monastery, and in autumn, witness the famous Mani Rimdu Festival.

      From Tengboche, the route leaves the tree line and enters the high mountain wilderness. The walk leads to Pangboche village, then to Dingboche in the scenic Imjatse Valley, where trekkers enjoy another acclimatization day to explore stunning viewpoints.

      Exploring Gokyo Valley & Gokyo Ri

      Gokyo Lake, Khumjung, Nepal

      At Gokyo, enjoy a rest day to explore the crystal-clear Gokyo Lakes and surrounding Himalayan scenery. A hike to the summit of Gokyo Ri rewards trekkers with a 360° view of four of the world’s highest mountains — Everest, Lhotse, Makalu, and Cho-Oyu — along with the turquoise Gokyo Lakes below.

      Return Journey

      The adventure concludes with a descent to Lukla, followed by a scenic flight back to Kathmandu — ending a truly unforgettable Everest Base Camp Gokyo Trek via Cho-La Pass.

      Best Time for Everest Base Camp Gokyo Trek via Cho-La Pass

      The Everest Base Camp Gokyo Trek via Cho-La Pass is a high-altitude adventure that combines the beauty of two iconic destinations — Everest Base Camp and the turquoise Gokyo Lakes. To make the most of this challenging yet rewarding journey, choosing the right season is essential.

      Spring Season (March to May)

      Spring is one of the best times for this trek. The weather is generally stable, skies are clear, and temperatures are pleasant for high-altitude hiking. This is also the blooming season for rhododendrons and other alpine flowers, adding vibrant colors to the trails. The visibility is excellent, offering crystal-clear views of Mt. Everest, Ama Dablam, Lhotse, and other Himalayan giants.

      Highlights of Spring Trek:

      • Warm and sunny days, cool nights.
      • Spectacular mountain views and colorful landscapes.
      • Perfect conditions for crossing Cho-La Pass without heavy snow.

      Autumn Season (September to November)

      Autumn is another prime time for the Everest Gokyo Cho-La Pass trek. After the monsoon rains, the air becomes crisp and dust-free, providing incredible panoramic views. Days are sunny with mild temperatures, while nights are cool to cold at higher elevations. This season is also the most popular among trekkers, so you’ll meet adventurers from around the world.

      Highlights of Autumn Trek:

      • Clear skies with dramatic sunrise and sunset views.
      • Comfortable weather for long trekking days.
      • Best time for photography around Everest Base Camp and Gokyo Lakes.

      Winter Season (December to February)

      Winter offers stunning views but comes with harsh cold and heavy snowfall, especially around Cho-La Pass. Only experienced trekkers with proper gear should attempt this route in winter. Trails are quiet, giving a peaceful trekking experience for those who can handle the cold.

      Highlights of Winter Trek:

      • Fewer trekkers, peaceful trails.
      • Crystal-clear visibility with snow-covered landscapes.

      Monsoon Season (June to August)

      Monsoon brings heavy rainfall, making trails slippery and increasing the risk of landslides in lower regions. Cloud cover often hides mountain views, and crossing Cho-La Pass becomes more dangerous. This is the least recommended season for the trek.

      Required Permits for the Everest Base Camp Gokyo Trek via Cho-La Pass:

      Permit NameWhy NeededWhere to Get ItCost (Foreign Nationals)

      Thinking About Mera Peak? See If You’re Fit for the Climb

      • Mera Peak is a technically straightforward climb to 6,461m but it still requires prior high-altitude trekking experience, as you will be above 5000m for days. Some mountaineering skills are needed.
      • A high level of fitness is required as you trek about 5-6 hours daily before summiting. Endurance training should be done beforehand to prepare your cardio and legs.
      • The summit climb involves crossing glaciers and climbing steep snow slopes up to 40 degrees. Use of ropes, crampons, harness and ice axe are required.
      • April-May and October-November are the best times to climb. But the weather can still be unstable with possible snow or storms. Be prepared with proper gear.
      • Camping at high elevations means very basic conditions. Be ready to sleep in tents at below-freezing temperatures. Take proper cold-weather clothing and gear.
      • No technical climbing skills like rappelling are needed, but you must be comfortable using an ice axe and climbing on snow/ice. Previous experience would be an advantage.
      • Mera Peak has fewer summit days available per season than other trekking peaks so you need to book well in advance to secure a permit.
      • With proper acclimatization, endurance training, and mountaineering skills, Mera Peak is an achievable goal for moderately experienced climbers seeking their first 6000m summit.

      • The changing scenery each day of the trek is gorgeous – from forests to high mountain passes and valleys to snow and ice on summit day. The variation is rewarding.
      • It’s one of the most scenic trekking peaks with views of giants like Everest, Lhotse, and Cho Oyu from the summit on a clear day. A breathtaking panorama!

      Namche Bazaar is a vibrant town nestled on a cliffside amphitheater. It offers spectacular mountain views and serves as a cultural hub for the Sherpa community. Historically, it was a key trading center connecting highland and lowland merchants. Known as the “Gateway to Everest,” Namche is a lively town rich in Sherpa culture, art, and tradition.

      Tengboche Monastery and Himalayan Views

      Located in Tengboche village, the Tengboche Monastery is one of the largest Buddhist monasteries in the Everest region. Perched near the meeting point of the Imja Khola and Dudh Koshi Rivers, it offers breathtaking views of iconic peaks such as Ama Dablam, Lhotse, Nuptse, and Thamserku.

      Sagarmatha National Park

      Your trek also takes you through Sagarmatha National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site known for its stunning alpine forests, rhododendron groves, and diverse wildlife. The park’s natural beauty enhances your journey, giving you a glimpse into Nepal’s rich biodiversity alongside the awe-inspiring mountain scenery.

      Experience Sherpa Culture

      The trek is a wonderful chance to immerse yourself in Sherpa culture. The Khumbu region is the ancestral home of the Sherpa people, known for their warm hospitality and unique traditions. You’ll witness their Buddhist practices, colorful festivals, traditional dress, and daily life, enriching your Himalayan experience.

      Helicopter Return: The Grand Finale

      After reaching Everest Base Camp and visiting the famous Kalapatthar viewpoint—renowned for its spectacular sunrise views over Everest—the return journey becomes unforgettable. Instead of trekking back down, you board a helicopter that flies you over the soaring Himalayas, offering a rare bird’s eye view of the mountains, lush valleys, and terraced farms below. This helicopter flight provides an extraordinary perspective of Nepal’s diverse landscape, changing from snowy peaks to green pastures.

      More often than not trekkers who journey to the high Himalayas believe that it is the strenuous and arduous routes that lead to mesmerizing destinations with views to match. As a result, countless trekking routes across the nation are often overlooked with no idea of what they are missing out on. One of those stunning trekking routes, spanning the lower Everest Region, is the Pikey Peak Trek.

      Boasting stunning Himalayan views of the mighty Everest (8848m), perhaps the very best in the lower Everest region, the hilly route to Pikey Peak is one of the shorter treks in the Himalayas. The trek takes you to authentic Buddhist hamlets depicting local Sherpa culture and guides you through lush green forests creating a mesmerizing journey in the Himalayan foothills.

      Pikey Peak Trek.

      Pikey Peak Trek begins with a scenic drive from Kathmandu to the town of Phaplu, in lower Solukhumbu. Following the BP Highway, due east, you drive alongside stunning rivers, small rustic settlements, and gorgeous hills until reaching the banks of Solu River, beyond which lies the small Sherpa village of Phaplu. From Phaplu, the trek starts and heads through gorgeous alpine forests and wide meadows to reach another Sherpa village called Junbesi.

      You can experience Sherpa culture and lifestyle firsthand in Junbesi and can also visit the sacred Junbesi Monastery for a glimpse of Buddhist culture. Past Junbesi, the trail ascends to Lamjura Hill from where the trail of Everest Base Camp Trek separates. Then, our trek continues until reaching the top of Pikey Peak (4065m), the highest hill in the lower Everest region.

      Enjoying a scenic sunrise over the summits of Everest and Rolwaling ranges, the trail then descends through a forested area to reach the hamlet of Jhapre. With stunning views of Everest and Rolwaling ranges on the backdrop, the hilly journey takes you to the village of Dhap, marking the end of this Himalayan adventure.
