Pikey Peak Trek – Professional, respectful, kind, attentive and FUN! Highly recommend
We went with Nepal Alternative Treks for a 7-day trek of Pikey Peak. Tej was recommended to us by a mutual friend. There were 3 of us trekking; we had a guide and 2 porters accompanying. Tej was in regular communication with us prior to the trek. I am NOT a trekker nor am I extremely athletic; the two friends were more experienced with trekking. Tej helped us choose a trek that fit out abilities; and time-limits (no more than a week).
The trek itself was great. We were so well-cared for. The teahouses where we stayed were sometimes rustic – but that’s how it is on these treks. (If you are someone used to a certain level of luxury – this may not be for you. I’ve done work in the field with basic conditions, so it didn’t phase me). We hiked for about 5 of the 7 days; at most one day was 25 km; the least 13 km. Our guide, Yugal, was knowledgeable, attentive, friendly, and so respectful. Our porters, Nima and Sanjay, were fun and friendly. Really amazing people. We felt taken care of and didn’t have to worry about a thing.
The hike up to Pikey Peak for the sunrise – with a view to Mt. Everest – was one of the best experiences of my life. I’d highly recommend it and Nepal Alternative Treks!!
