Upon reaching the stupa, you will need to ascend for an additional 30-40 minutes, and another 40-minute walk will lead you to the peaceful Pikey Peak Base Camp.

Today is the highlight of our trek! Wake up early in the morning and hike for about 1 hour to Pikey Peak to experience a stunning sunrise. Pikey Peak is an ideal viewpoint for breathtaking panoramic views of the 8,000-meter peaks, and it is a favorite spot of Sir Edmund Hillary. From this vantage point, you will be able to witness the sunrise over seven of the world's highest peaks, including Mount Everest, Lhotse, Makalu, Kanchenjunga, Shishapangma, Cho Oyu, and Manaslu. After soaking in the magnificent views of the Himalayas and the lower Everest Valley, you will return to Pikey Peak Base Camp for breakfast and prepare for the next part of your journey. After approximately 2 hours of hiking from Pikey Peak Base Camp, you will reach the small village of Jasmane Bhanjyang, where you will enjoy lunch. For those still feeling energetic and eager to continue, you have the option to trek for an additional 3.5 hours to a peaceful location called Taktor.

Junbesi

Wake up to the refreshing Himalayan breeze, enjoy a delicious breakfast, and begin your trek to Junbesi. If you stayed in Jasmane Bhanjyang, you will first trek to Taktor for approximately 3.5 hours, where you will have lunch. Alternatively, if you stayed in Taktor, you will trek to Junbesi for around 2.5 hours, where you will enjoy lunch. Upon reaching Junbesi, take some time to explore the village and visit the beautiful Junbesi Monastery.

After breakfast, we will head to visit the beautiful and one of the largest nun monasteries in the region, the Tuptencholing Monastery. Situated at the foot of a mountain, this monastery is home to around 200 nuns and monks. Visiting the monastery will offer a sense of spiritual peace, helping to purify both mind and soul. You will have the opportunity to observe the daily lives of the monks and nuns, watch a traditional puja ceremony, and explore several other smaller monasteries in the area. After the visit, we will return to Junbesi, where a delicious lunch will be prepared for us. Following lunch, we will embark on a 4-5 hour trek to Phaplu. The trail is mostly along a newly constructed road, passing through many small towns along the way. Phaplu is situated on a hill with a large, flat area and is home to an airport. However, this airport does not currently have regular flights. Explore around Phaplu and have a good rest.

The drive from Phaplu to Kathmandu is a long one, so we will begin our journey early in the morning.

Following breakfast, we will bid farewell to the Himalayas and continue our drive down to Ghurmi, before heading onward to Khurkot.
