Trekking
in the lower Solu-Khumbu, the heart of the
land of the Sherpas, brings you the
magnificent views of the high peaks in the region,
but above all the immersion into the
traditional Sherpa culture. If you want to
learn about their lifestyle, architecture,
their foremost monasteries and their way of
life, you need to spend time in Solu, the
lower of Solukhumbu, the two Sherpa regions.
Trekking in the Solukumbu
Region is spectacular in every sense of the word when it
comes to the panoramas of high peaks. But while most come in
search of the landscapes above timberline, trekking in the
elevations where the landscape is rich in fine forests,
ancient monasteries and still offers spectacular
mountain views as the southern part
of the Everest region does, the experience of Sherpa region
of the Himalaya becomes complete. Authentic Sherpa culture,
secluded impressive monasteries and villages
inhabited by the friendly Sherpas make Solu a perfect
destination for families and those seeking less strenuous
trekking itinerary with much fewer tourists than Khumbu.
The name of Pikey stems from a name of a Sherpa clan
deity, Chyabo Pikey. The trek can be done May to July
and October to early December, though in July it may be best
as you'll have a chance to partake in festivities in
connection with the worship of Chyabo Pikey. There are two
trekking highlights to this trek: summiting Pikey Peak
(4070m) and later ascending to Dhud Kund
(5400m). It is not so
much that the trek is extremely difficult but the rewarding panoramas of the High Himalayas it offers.
