Starting with a scenic flight to Phaplu and ending in Kathmandu, this moderately easy trek explores the lower Everest region, reaching Pikey Peak (4,065m) for stunning sunrise vistas of Everest, Kanchenjunga, and Dhaulagiri. The trail winds through terraced fields, wild orchid forests, and cultural hubs like Kerung, Jhapre, and Junbesi, where you’ll visit ancient monasteries like Thupten Choling and engage in Sherpa traditions.
