Pikey Peak Trek is een nieuw ontdekte trekkingroute in de Everest regio. De geïsoleerde en afgelegen paden zijn minder druk door het drukke toerisme. Het biedt een perfecte kans om de rauwe en wilde verhalen van de Everest regio te ervaren. Deze Pikey Peak Trek brengt je naar prachtige gebieden op Everest die bewoond worden door Sherpa. Je leert over hun ware cultuur en levensstijl. Daarnaast voert het pad je over heuveltoppen, bergkammen en hoge kliffen met panoramische uitzichten op de Mount Everest en andere naburige bergtoppen in de regio.
Overzicht
De Pikey Peak Trek biedt reizigers de mogelijkheid om de ruige landschappen van de Everest regio te verkennen. Samen met prachtige uitzichten op het Himalaya gebergte van Dhaulagiri, Makalu, Everest, Lhotse, Kanchenjunga en eindeloos veel andere bergtoppen. De trektocht voert je door weelderige bossen naar hoogalpien terrein en door wisselende landschappen en microklimaten.
De trektocht begint met een lange rit van Kathmandu naar de kleine nederzetting Dhap. Vanuit Dhap begint officieel de trektocht naar Japre, een nederzetting boven een diepe vallei met een prachtig uitzicht op de Everest en de Numbur Himal. Vervolgens ga je op weg naar Pikey Base Camp over de met gras begroeide bergkam, een prachtig bebost pad bedekt met verschillende soorten rododendrons. En bekijk ook de Mahalangur bergketen. De volgende dag ga je naar de top van Pikey Peak op een hoogte van 4.065 meter. Vanaf de top heb je een prachtig panoramisch uitzicht over de Himalaya van de Annapurna tot de Kanchenjunga. Daarna doorkruis je de steile delen van de diepe wildernis en bereik je de nederzetting Loding.
Vanuit Loding ga je verder naar Junbesi. Een traditioneel Sherpa dorp genesteld op een hoogte van 2675 meter, een bakermat van Sherpa cultuur en architectuur. Bezoek onderweg het Thubtenchoeling klooster en leer over de inzichten van de monniken. Ga vervolgens naar het Taksindu pad en bezoek appel- en perzikboomgaarden en het oude Taksindu Klooster dat in 1946 is ingebouwd. Ga van Taksindu naar Phaplu en verken onderweg de Chiwong Gompa die in 1923 werd opgericht. Neem uiteindelijk de vlucht van Phaplu naar Kathmandu.
Onze Pikey Peak Trek is ontworpen voor zowel ervaren als beginnende trekkers. Deze trektocht is eigenlijk een gematigd korte trekking in de Everest regio. Als je weinig tijd hebt en toch de Everest regio wilt verkennen, sluit je dan aan bij onze Alpine Club of Himalaya.
Beste tijd voor een bezoek?
Het beste seizoen voor een trekking naar de Everest regio is tijdens de herfst en lente, de maanden september, oktober, november, maart, april en mei.
Tijdens het herfstseizoen, de maanden september, oktober en november, is het helder weer met warme temperaturen en is het zicht geweldig. Omdat het weer zacht is, is het heel gemakkelijk om je in de regio te verplaatsen.
Het lenteseizoen van maart, april en mei is ook de beste tijd om de Everest regio te bezoeken. Het markeert het einde van de winter, het lenteseizoen brengt een verandering in de topografie van de regio en de bestemming komt tot leven met eindeloze rijen van verschillende gekleurde rododendrons, met mos en orchideeën bedekte bomen, kleurrijk onderhout dat zich mijlenver uitstrekt en de sneeuwwitte bergtoppen op de achtergrond van helderblauwe luchten.
Het moessonseizoen is niet gunstig voor trektochten omdat het weer dan ruw wordt en het moeilijk is om door het land te reizen met frequente aardverschuivingen en overstromingen. Dus meestal wordt het moessonseizoen vermeden door trekkers.
In het winterseizoen valt er veel sneeuw in het gebied, waardoor het grootste deel van het pad bedekt is en de meeste gebieden van Everest niet toegankelijk zijn, waardoor het onmogelijk is om te wandelen.
