Today is the highlight of your trek. Before sunrise, you’ll start an early morning hike to Pikey Peak (4,065 m). The hike takes about 1–2 hours, and you will reach the summit just before sunrise.

As the sun rises, the sky slowly changes from deep blue to shades of orange and pink, and the first rays of sunlight light up the snow-covered Himalayan peaks one by one. The mountains glow in golden colors, creating a breathtaking view in every direction. You’ll enjoy spectacular 360-degree views of some of the world’s highest mountains, including Everest, Makalu, Kanchenjunga, Lhotse, Nuptse, Gaurishankar, Langtang, Manaslu, Annapurna, and Dhaulagiri.

After enjoying the views and taking photos, you’ll descend through peaceful forests and open hillsides to Jasmane Bhanjhyang.
