Silent hiking through the valleys of the Nepal Himalayas, and to the top of Pikey Peak, just below Everest. Join me for part one of my Three Passes trek as I experience authentic Nepalese village life, summit the lesserknown Pikey Peak, and go hiking with dogs, goats, yaks, and donkeys through these breathtaking valleys. Trek was in April/May 2023.

While lengthening my Three Passes Trek in the upper Himalayas by one week, I was able to trek through all of these spectacular valleys and authentic villages. Instead of flying to Lukla and skipping these parts, I walked in from Dhap, a village much lower in the valley. While trekking through these villages and valleys over the course of a week, I had the privilege of experiencing true village life all to myself. Plus, my first breathtaking view of Mount Everest was from atop Pikey Peak, where I was completely alone.
