Day 01: Arrival at Kathmandu Airport

The evening offers a chance to meet with fellow participants and trek members, fostering a sense of camaraderie and anticipation for the adventure ahead. You will spend the night at a comfortable hotel in Kathmandu.

Day 02: Drive from Kathmandu to Dhap Bazaar (2850m) (B/L/D)

After enjoying breakfast at your hotel in Kathmandu, you will embark on a scenic drive to Dhap Bazaar. The journey takes approximately 7-8 hours, offering ample time to take in the beautiful landscapes, deep valleys, and dense rhododendron forests along the way. As the drive progresses, the urban environment gradually gives way to more rural and pristine settings. By evening, you will arrive in Dhap Bazaar, where you will spend the night in this quaint town.

Day 03: Trek from Dhap Bazaar to Jhapre (2815m) via Sigane (B/L/D)

The trek begins in earnest today, as you depart from Dhap Bazaar after breakfast. The trail primarily follows a dirt road, passing through the village of Sigane.

As you approach the base camp, you will cross a long Mane wall, a traditional structure inscribed with Buddhist prayers. Upon reaching Pikey Peak Base Camp, you can visit a local Yak Cheese factory and enjoy the splendid views of the snow-capped peaks surrounding the camp.
