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

Day 5

On the fifth 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 (3500m), our stopping point for the day.

We descend almost 500 m from Lamjura and reach Junbesi, which lies at an elevation of 2932m 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.

Day 7

One of the best viewpoints of the entire trek is our destination for today. Taksindu (2931 m) provides a stunning sunset view (also sunrise). Along the trail, we encounter a river after which we take a slight left until we reach Salung ridge. This place provides the spectacular views of Mount Everest along with Thamserku and Kusum Kangaru.
