In an effort to make Nepal and the Himalayas more accessible to a wider audience, we sought out the best trekking experience Nepal has to offer. We discovered the stunning Solukhumbu region (Lower Everest) and the Pikey Peak trek. This adventure combines trekking, a safari in Chitwan National Park, rafting on the Trishuli River, and exploring Kathmandu, creating an unforgettable journey through Nepal.

Unlike the well-trodden Annapurna Circuit or the Everest Base Camp trek, this route offers a peaceful alternative. Few people know about this trek, and even fewer embark on it, meaning you’ll experience Nepal in near solitude. Unlike overcrowded trekking paths where travelers compete for space in lodges and dining halls, this trek allows a genuine and immersive experience with local communities. The highest point of the trek is 4,065 meters, offering breathtaking views of eight 8,000-meter peaks, without the altitude-related challenges common in higher treks. Since most of the trek is around 3,000 meters, altitude sickness is unlikely to be a concern.
Kathmandu, Nepal’s capital, is surrounded by towering mountains. A cultural crossroad between India and China, its influence is reflected in architecture and local cuisine. The Pikey Peak trek is an off-the-beaten-path adventure with spectacular Himalayan panoramas—perfect for rejuvenation. The adventure concludes with a wildlife safari in Chitwan National Park and an exhilarating rafting experience on the Trishuli River.
