\uadf8\ub9cc\ud07c Pikey Peak<\/a> Trek is a 9-day easy-to-moderate trek in the lower Khumbu region to Pikey Peak (4,065m), declared by Sir Edmund Hillary as offering the most beautiful view of Everest he had ever seen. The route begins with a jeep ride from \uce74\ud2b8\ub9cc\ub450<\/a> to Dhap, then climbs through Sherpa villages and rhododendron forest to the Pikey Peak summit. From the top, the panorama includes Everest, Makalu, Kanchenjunga, Lhotse, Nuptse, Gauri Shankar, and the entire eastern Himalaya. The route continues through the traditional Sherpa villages of Junbesi<\/a> and Phaplu before returning to Kathmandu by road. Pikey Peak is significantly less crowded than the main EBC route and offers an authentic Sherpa cultural experience with monasteries, mani walls, and traditional villages.<\/p>\n","cost_includes":"All airport pickups and drops in private vehicle\nKathmandu hotel (3 nights, B&B) with welcome and farewell dinners\nDomestic flights where applicable to itinerary\nAll ground transport in private vehicle\nAll necessary permits (TIMS, National Park, Conservation Area, Restricted Area where applicable)\nThree meals daily (BLD) during the trek with tea\/coffee\nTea house or camping accommodation during the trek\nExperienced English-speaking trekking guide and assistant guide for groups of 6+\nPorters (1 per 2 trekkers, 15kg luggage allowance) with full insurance\nSleeping bag, down jacket, and duffel bag (refundable deposit)\nFirst-aid kit, pulse oximeter, and emergency oxygen\nSatellite phone for emergency communications\nAll government and local taxes","cost_excludes":"International airfare to and from Kathmandu\nNepal visa fee (USD 30 for 15 days, USD 50 for 30 days)\nTravel and high-altitude rescue insurance (mandatory)\nPersonal trekking gear and clothing\nHot showers, Wi-Fi, device charging, and alcoholic beverages\nLunch and dinner in Kathmandu\nTips for guide, porter, and driver (recommended 10-15% of trip cost)\nCosts from unforeseen events (weather, flight delays, route changes)","itineraries":[{"title":"\uce74\ud2b8\ub9cc\ub450 \ub3c4\ucc29","content":"\n

Above 3,500m, altitude sickness (AMS) affects 25-40% of trekkers. Our itinerary includes acclimatization days, guides carry pulse oximeters and emergency oxygen, and they are trained to identify early symptoms. Prevention: ascend slowly (no more than 300-500m sleeping altitude per day above 3,500m), drink 3-4 liters of water daily, avoid alcohol above 3,500m, eat light meals, and report any symptoms immediately. Travel insurance covering helicopter evacuation (USD 10,000) is mandatory.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
