In spring, you can expect the temperatures to hover between 12°C to 20°C during the day. The temperatures can drop to a minimum of -5°C at higher altitudes. A warm sleeping bag and layers are recommended. The vivid rhododendron blossoms make the journey further enchanting.

Likewise, autumn has similar conditions with colder nights. Compared to the rest of the year, autumn brings clearer views of the Himalayan panorama. However, the temperatures may be slightly colder in the autumn months.

Pikey Peak Trail Nepal: Weather Pattern and Best Trekking Seasons (2025 and 2026 Updates)

  • Avoid monsoon (June-August) when landslides disrupt trails.
  • Spring (March to May): Temperatures between 5°C to 15°C in lower regions and - 5 °C in higher regions. 
  • Autumn (September to November): Temperatures can reach a minimum of -2°C to -10°C in higher altitudes. Expect clear skies but colder nights. 
  • For 2025 and 2026 updates, high chances of snow, especially in higher elevations.

Pikey Peak Trek Accommodations

The Pikey Peak trek allows you to experience authentic hospitality in cozy teahouses and mountain lodges. These establishments are run by the local families and offer clean rooms with basic amenities, communal dining space, and stunning mountain views. 

The teahouses are simple, but the warm Sherpa hospitality makes the experience worth it. As you climb to a higher elevation, you will also find heated common rooms where you can relax after a day of trekking the Pikey Peak trails.

Extra Facilities

  • Electricity and Charging: The Pikey Peak Trek accommodations provide basic but functional facilities, including electricity and charging facilities. Lower villages like Dhap, Jhapre, and Junbesi have reliable solar-powered electricity in teahouses. Charging your devices is available at a small fee of USD 2-3 per device. In higher altitude regions, the power may be limited. Consider charging power banks in the lower villages.
  • Wifi and Mobile Network: WiFi and mobile network facilities in the Pikey Peak Trek in Nepal are available. However, the speed may be compromised. Your teahouse may have a fast internet connection, which may cost between USD 3 to USD 5. The best option is to buy a Nepal Telecom SIM in Kathmandu. 

Nepal Pikey Peak Trek Food 

During the 10-day Pikey Peak Trek, you will find a mix of cuisines. While Kathmandu offers a plethora of selections, the trekking routes have simple but nutritious options. The Dal Bhat is a staple in every destination. Apart from the classic Nepali food, you will also find Tibetan soups, thukpa, and the ever-popular momo.

If you have special food requests, you can consult with a Global Adventure Trekking representative before the trek. 

Drinking Water during the Pikey Peak Trek

During the Pikey Peak Trek in the Himalayas, it is crucial to stay hydrated. You should confirm that the water is safe to drink. 

Bottled water is available throughout the trek, but we recommend buying filtered or boiled drinking water from teahouses. This saves the cost and is also an environmentally friendly practice.

Natural sources like streams and taps are also common. However, this could upset your stomach or cause illnesses. 

Use the following for environmental sustainability and safety: 

  • Reusable bottles
  • Water purification medicines like Steripen (UV purifier) 
  • Chlorine/Iodine tablets
  • Portable filters.
