the way, we can enjoy beautiful views of hills, mountains, as well as the Sunkoshi River.

2Day 2 Dhap to Bhulbhule:

Today, we will be starting our traditional trekking, i.e. our actual trekking starts today. We follow
an uphill trail from Dhap to Bhulbhule (3500 m), which takes around 7 hours. We will have an
opportunity to be acquainted with the traditional village lifestyle too. As we reach Bhulbhule,

we enjoy the scenic beauties of our surroundings and get to know about the local people there.
We stay here overnight.

We will have a delightful trekking experience as we come across dense rhododendron forests
and green yak pastures along the trail.

4Day 4 PK base camp to PK peak and back to Lamjura:

On the fourth day, we climb the Pikey peak (4065 m) early in the morning before sunrise. The
mesmerizing sunrise view and the mountain peaks glowing in the presence of golden morning
sunlight is one of the best experiences one can get in this life. We reach back to PK base camp
by lunchtime. We take another 5 hours of walk and reach a small settlement of Lamjura (3500
m), our stopping point for the day.

5Day 5 Lamjura to Junbesi:

We descend almost 500 m from Lamjura and reach Junbesi, which lies at an elevation of 2932
m above the sea level. The total duration for the trek takes just over 6 hours. The steep and
narrow trail through the rhododendron and fir trees gradually turns into a sandy route until we
reach Junbesi village. We also have an option to visit the Thubtenchoeling Monastery (2675 m),
which is just a 3-hour hike from Junbesi and return to Junbesi and stop for the day.

6Day 6 Junbesi to Takasindu:

One of the best viewpoints of the entire trek is our destination for today. Taksindu (2931 m)

village the next day.

monasteries, and viewpoints from where we can see different mountain peaks. We stay at
Kerung for the night and prepare for our next day trip.

scenic beauty of hills and mountains that we might have missed before and stay here for the
