It is a chance to visit several Buddhist structures such as gompas and stupas. Its dawn and sunset views are popular and you may appreciate the wonderful views of the Himalayas. The mountain range of Everest, Kanchenjunga, Makalu and Lhotse are great to be enjoyed.

Our adventure begins with a magnificent flight from Kathmandu to Phalphu, and continues through Junbesi, Lamjura Hill, Pikey Peak, and Phalphu. The newly opened path. The paths lead to a large area of classic Buddhist culture. The trek not only gives the finest views, but also the native Sherpa cultural experience.

Exploring a tiny farming town of Sherpas may be a good blend of nature and culture discovery, including the well painted Buddhist monasteries, and the rhododendron forest. With a night in a local Sherpa house, you will involve in local culture. The monastery of Thupten Choling is an amazing visit. The Pikey Peak walk to Phurteng is comfortable.
