This Sherpa Brothers village trek, of nine day’s duration, usually starts in Jiri and ends with a flight back to Kathmandu from Phaplu. It is also possible to continue on from Phalpu and join the Everest trek at Ringmo, the village below the Traksindu La pass.
The highlight of the trek is the stunning view from the top of pike, which includes Everest as well as a great number of lesser snow-capped peaks.
To travel over Pike Danda, follow the Jiri to Lukla trek as far as the Likhu Khola, before Kenja. The route then climbs steeply through the villages of Goli Gompa and Ngaur before reaching the (4065 m ) summit of Pike. Descent to Phaplu is via the Sherpa village of Lodingma, home land of Sherpa Brothers Treks family.
Due to the high altitude of Pike, trekkers must be particularly careful to watch for signs of AMS and be prepared to spend extra nights at Goli or Ngaur if necessary.
