Best time to trek in the Pikey Peak Trail:
The Pikey Peak Trek is one of the newer established trekking routes located in the lower Everest region. The trek offers stunning views of the Great Himalayan Trail from Eastern Nepal to the Mid-Western Nepal. The onlookers are greeted with the glorious sight of the mountains from the Pikey Peak. To experience the best the Pikey Peak has to offer make sure to travel during the Spring season and the Autumn season as it is considered to be the best time to trek in the Himalayas.

Pikey Peak trek during Autumn Season: Arguably the best season to trek in Nepal is the Autumn season which falls in the month of September, October and November during which time the skies are clear providing pristine views of the Himalayas. The weather during the Autumn is quite pleasant and is usually predictable. The risk of avalanche and landslides are also at its lowest. During the late October and Early November you can expect light snowfall as the winter season will be soon arriving. Even though the trekking route is newly established you can experience light traffic in the trekking route during this time.

Pikey Peak Trek during Spring Season: The Spring season in Nepal consists of the months of March, April and May. During the spring season the trekking route filled with lush green Rhododendron forest turns into a vibrant and aromatic trail filled with blooming Rhododendron flowers turning the routes into a dreamy paradise. The wild flowers along with the Rhododendron flowers significantly increases the beauty of the trek. During the Spring season the weather is also predictable and rarely fluctuates much. The views seen during this season are also precious as there are relatively less clouds to disrupt the views of the High Himalayas.

Pikey Peak trek during Winter Season: The weather of the High Himalayas can be punishing if necessary preparations are not done for the winter trekking. The months of December, January and February fall under the winter season in the High Himalayas. During the Winter season the weather can reach below freezing at times at higher altitude and the trekking routes above the altitude of 3000M will usually be covered in snow. Even though the weather during this time is harsh, the beauty of the trails and views of the high himalayas and mountains around covered in snow is a sight to behold.

Pikey Peak Trek during Summer Season: The season of Summer and Monsoon can be experienced at the same time in Nepal which falls in the months of April, June and July. During the Monsoon season the trekking trails are muddy, slippery and filled with leeches. The Monsoon season is considered to be the worst season for trekking in Nepal as the weather is not clear and the views are also blocked with dark and gloomy clouds. The risk of landslides is also at its maximum during this time. The lush green forest seen during the trek is quite blissful as well as the air is quite fresh but humid. The threat of thunderstorms is also quite high which makes it an unfavorable time to trek.
Pikey Peak Trek Insurance:
The travel insurance is not made mandatory for trekking in Nepal yet inorder to trek to the Pikey Peak with the Mountain Ram Adventures you need to have a travel insurance. The High Himalayas can be punishing at times with unseen circumstances like weather, landslides, altitude sickness and more. The travel insurance acts as a safety net for the trekkers and allows the guides to make crucial decisions without any hesitations. The use of travel insurance might not seem appealing to some trekkers and not worthy but it’s better safe than sorry in the harsh conditions of the Himalayas.
Risk during Pikey Peak Trek:
Pikey Peak trek is one of the safest choices for trekkers where they can enjoy the views of the Great Himalayan Trail with just light trekking.
