Spectacular Mountain Views on Pikey Peak Trek, A Journey to Remember

The best season to enjoy the trek:
The ideal time to do the Trek is between mid-September and mid-February when the weather is warm and sunny and the vista is the clearest. If the monsoon season lasts longer than typical, the beginning of September may be dangerous. Avoid taking this trail from June to August since it might get muddy and slippery during that period. The Dolpo or Mustang treks are good options if you wish to go trekking during the rainy season. They enjoy a very arid environment all year round due to its location behind the Mountains.
