The bus ride takes around 10 to 11 hours and the journey begins as early as 5 in the morning. The journey depends on the type of vehicle you choose for your journey. The first half of the ride is along rivers and streams and paved highway. The second phase of the highway is dusty and more on a rugged road with beautiful village. With multiple stops in between for bathroom break and food, you will reach your destination in the Evening. En route, you will make your way through Phaplu and other popular rest area. Overnight in Salleri.
Accommodation

Meals Included
3 times meals during the trek (staple meal of Daal Bhat for lunch and dinner or any one item from the menu.)
It is around 8 hours trek from Salleri to Pattale and the time frame includes break time for lunch and refreshments. On this day, you will walk from village to village and witness culturally rich Sherpa and Tamang village. You will make a short detour via Kerung as it is a Sherpa village and to one of the most intriguing monasteries and strong buddhist influences. Out of Salleri, time and again, you will walk along the beautiful Sun koshi river and through stunning terrace farming. Overnight in Kerung.

It is a very good idea to wake up early in morning if you are a mountain lover. Although the views from the village is a stunner, the nearby Patale Danda is a well renowned spot for clearer and wider views of the mountains. Out of Pattale, you will mostly walk on the trail that makes its way through forest of Rhododendron and Daphne with a striking views of the mountains in the north. The forest later opens to wide road which leads to a small village of Jhapre. With every spur you take towards Jhapre the mountain seem to get closer and clearer. Overnight in Jhapre.

Usually people directly opt for Pikey Peak if no symptoms of altitude sickness. However, we would like to relax and take another day to acclimatize and enjoy the nature before reaching the summit of Pikey Peak. The trail today will leave the rhododendron tree line behind and start climbing on the ridge and above the cloud line. If you are a cheese lover, you may want to indulge in eating the cheese made from local Yak in one of the small cheese factories en route. Depending on the weather and your condition, we will either call it a night at the base camp or trek an hour further to the summit of Pikey Peak and enjoy the night.

Pikey Peak is a very rewarding trek in terms of the mountains and you will figure that out in the morning, on this day. On a clear day you will see a 360 degree of mountain panorama spread over hundreds of kilometers. Right in front, you will see Numbur, Kayolung and Khatang dominating the skyline and to the right of these mountains rests the mighty Everest (8848m). Furthermore, you see Makalu, Lhotse, Everest, Manaslu, Annapurna, Dhaulagiri and Kanchenjunga. Meaning, you see the 7 out of the 8 highest mountains present in Nepal. The trail from Pikey peak drops rapidly and the trail is very steep. You will reach Pikey Kop, followed by Lamajura Pass, then Taktor before finally meeting the Tenzing hillary trail to Everest. Overnight in Junbesi.

You exit the beautiful settlement of Junbesi and make your way along Junbesi Khola. The trail is a mix of downhill and flat that once in awhile makes its way through forests. In around 2 hours you reach Benighat, which is an ideal place to stop for lunch. From Benighat the trail still follows Junbesi stream for another hour, followed by a gradual up hill walk for another 1 and ½ hours to Phaplu. Once in Phaplu, your guide will make necessary arrangements for the next day travel to Kathmandu. Overnight in Phaplu.
