Le Pikey Peak Trek est un itinéraire de trekking récemment découvert dans la région de l'Everest. Les sentiers isolés et retirés sont moins fréquentés par les touristes. C'est l'occasion rêvée de découvrir les histoires brutes et sauvages de la région de l'Everest. Ce trek du Pikey Peak vous emmène dans de magnifiques régions de l'Everest habitées par les Sherpas. Vous découvrirez leur véritable culture et leur mode de vie. En outre, le sentier vous fait traverser des collines, des crêtes et de hautes falaises offrant des vues panoramiques sur le mont Everest et d'autres sommets voisins de la région.
Vue d'ensemble
Le trek du Pikey Peak permet aux voyageurs d'explorer les paysages accidentés de la région de l'Everest. Il offre des vues magnifiques sur les chaînes himalayennes du Dhaulagiri, du Makalu, de l'Everest, du Lhotse, du Kanchenjunga et d'innombrables autres pics montagneux. Traversant des forêts luxuriantes et des zones alpines, le trekking vous fait découvrir des paysages et des microclimats changeants.
Le trek commence par un long trajet en voiture depuis Katmandou jusqu'au petit village de Dhap. De Dhap, votre trekking commence officiellement vers Japre, un village perché au-dessus d'une vallée profonde avec des vues splendides sur l'Everest et le Numbur Himal. Ensuite, vous vous dirigez vers le camp de base de Pikey en traversant la crête herbeuse, un magnifique sentier forestier couvert d'une grande variété de rhododendrons. Vous pourrez également admirer la chaîne du Mahalangur. Le lendemain, vous vous dirigez vers le sommet du Pikey Peak, à une altitude de 4 065 mètres. Depuis le sommet, vous aurez une vue panoramique splendide sur l'Himalaya, de l'Annapurna au Kanchenjunga. Après avoir traversé les sections escarpées de la nature sauvage, vous atteindrez le village de Loding.
De Loding, vous vous dirigez vers Junbesi. Un village Sherpa traditionnel niché à une altitude de 2675 mètres, berceau de la culture et de l'architecture Sherpa. En chemin, visitez le monastère de Thubtenchoeling et découvrez les idées des moines. Ensuite, dirigez-vous vers le sentier de Taksindu et visitez les vergers de pommes et de pêches ainsi que l'ancien monastère de Taksindu construit en 1946. De Taksindu, dirigez-vous vers Phaplu pour explorer le Chiwong Gompa, fondé en 1923. Enfin, prenez un vol de Phaplu vers Katmandou.

Si vous êtes limité par le temps et que vous souhaitez tout de même explorer la région de l'Everest, rejoignez le Club Alpin de l'Himalaya.
Quelle est la meilleure période pour visiter l'Everest ?
La meilleure saison pour faire du trekking dans la région de l'Everest est l'automne et le printemps, c'est-à-dire les mois de septembre, octobre, novembre, mars, avril et mai.
Pendant l'automne, les mois de septembre, octobre et novembre, le temps est clair, les températures sont chaudes et la visibilité est bonne. Le temps étant doux, il est très facile de se déplacer dans la région.
Le printemps, en mars, avril et mai, est également la meilleure période pour visiter la région de l'Everest. Elle marque la fin de l'hiver, le printemps apporte un changement dans la topographie de la région et la destination prend vie avec des rangées interminables de rhododendrons de différentes couleurs, des arbres drapés de mousse et d'orchidées, des sous-bois colorés qui s'étendent sur des kilomètres et les pics montagneux blancs et enneigés sur fond de ciel bleu limpide.
La mousson n'est pas propice au trekking car le temps devient rude et il est difficile de se déplacer dans le pays en raison des glissements de terrain et des inondations fréquents. La mousson est donc généralement évitée par les randonneurs.
En hiver, la région reçoit d'importantes chutes de neige, qui recouvrent la plupart des pistes, et l'accès à la plupart des régions de l'Everest est interdit, ce qui rend le trekking impossible.
